Dietmar Hopp: What is his role in the game?
As we have often reported former MLP boss Dr. Bernie Termuehlen rebuys his once lost firm via the backdoor: Mayflower Capital is nothing else than the ressurection of the old strukkibude MLP, run by the same people, Geschaeftsstellenleiters and so on. Termuehlen reinstalls the old structure of MLP before a foolish operasinger began to ruign the scruffy shop. When Swiss Life is able to take over they will find an empty jacket only, the really MLP is ‘MLP 2′ a.k.a. ‘MayfLower CaPital’
The big question is: Where does the money come from? Even a billionaire like Termuehlen is hardly in the position to pay the debts of the former MLPers.
Maybe the solution is shown in Germany’s sports tv DSF: You can see there Doc Termuehlen watching a soccer game. Next to him sat a man who used to be a mysterious figure in the whole play: Diemar Hopp, one of the richest men ever in Germany.
Hopp, co-founder of software giant SAP got in contact to MLP-founder Manfred Lautenschlaeger at the university, the two men became friends. It is unknown why Lautenschlaeger didn’t mention this fact in hin memoirs ‘Mythos MLP’. Hopp had business connections to MLP and helped in the hard days in 2002. In these days Hopp faced a raid of his own home by the prosecution. The details of this story remain unknown even today. Known is that Hopp was very upset and started a campaign against the Mannheim prosecution.
The relationship between Manne and Dietmar never was as warm it was before.
Now both business sharks Termuehlen and Hopp show a close contact. Maybe they just wanted to watch the soccer game together …
