It does not matter if Samy, Fabian, Feras, David or Bernd are at the helm. My view of Manwin aka MindGeek is one of a criminal enterprise, and therefore they were all thieves.
Around the time that Manwin poached Jules Jordan of all his people, Manwin/MindGeek was interested in doing business with one of the companies I managed. Therefore I agreed to having a phone conversation with Manwin leadership. Knowing what happened with JJ, I told him something along the lines of "a bullet in the back of the head of anyone that leaves ___________ for Manwin, would fix any legal deficiencies we had with our employment contracts" which prohibited disclosing our IP and walking to a potential competitor.
I then proceeded to laugh. There was silence on the other side, and quickly the conversation was wrapped up.
Happy to write, no one left the company.
