I didn't bump this thread, however if I may speculate, it may have been bumped due to it's relevance to events currently in the news. Sometimes a little history is useful in putting things into perspective.
Interpol has an arrest warrant out on convicted malware fugitive Daniel Sundin, whom used to be business partners with Fabian Thylmann (you may have seen Fabian's name in the news the past few days).
There has been speculation that the money which financed Fabian's meteoric rise in the adult industry, may in fact be money laundered by Sam and Dan. Other possible money laundering "investors" are rumored to be Russian casino/mob types.
Tax evasion and money laundering are not too distant cousins. Therefore, since Fabian is now sitting in a Belgian jail cell on tax evasion charges, the subsequent investigation may have yielded evidence which could shed more light on other shady activities of Fabian/Manwin, besides tax evasion, possibly including money laundering.
Remember that the precursor to Manwin, called Mansef, had to forfeit millions of dollars as a result of a FBI money laundering investigation in the US, which just by coincidence was not long before Nathan supposedly showed up with a pocketful of money to buy them out.
