Billion Euro Swindle, Reiner Fuellmich and the Corona Committee

Alleged Corona lawsuit
                      The trillion euro swindle

By Lars Wienand

He called Corona measures "crimes" and promised a mega-suit. Now the plans of a lawyer themselves appear more and more as

a hoax.

The former "Corona resistance" has its next scandal: first, the founder of the "lateral thinking" movement,

Michael Ballweg, ended up in pre-trial detention on fraud charges. Now the most important alleged "clarifier" is coming

under pressure, the lawyer Rainer Fuellmich. He had announced a "trillion-dollar lawsuit" for gigantic damages after the

"Corona fraud" and collected money for it. Now clients feel cheated, and Fuellmich's former partners accuse him of lying.

The dispute also provides insight into how donations were juggled.



In 2020, Reiner Fuellmich had become an icon of all those who were publicly insulted as "covidiots" and considered all

measures against the virus unnecessary. He gave these people hope that the restrictions would end. He presented himself

as an internationally experienced lawyer who had already taken on Deutsche Bank and Volkswagen on behalf of aggrieved

customers.


Now the largest lawsuit in history was to bring governments to their knees and end the lockdowns. The virologist

Christian Drosten and RKI chief Lothar Wieler were to be sued. The reasoning: Drosten had developed the first PCR test to

confirm infections and Wieler had participated in the "fraud." Together with the WHO, they were the driving forces behind

the Corona measures - and therefore personally responsible for the damage.


Whoever as a business owner, hairdresser or

restaurateur had losses during the lockdowns should sue together with Fuellmich. He demanded 800 euros plus VAT as an

advance payment and promised the co-plaintiffs a share of the later, gigantic damages. A "class action" in the U.S. was

supposed to bring in the big money. Class actions combine cases involving thousands or even millions of injured parties

instead of filing separate lawsuits for each of them.

Fuellmich, who is also licensed to practice law in California, threw

himself into the subject, with which he has some experience, with a broad chest: He represented a German woman when a

U.S. company provided $3.2 billion in 1998 after a class-action lawsuit for women who may have suffered health damage

from breast implants. She was one of more than 1,000 victims who joined the actual lawsuit filed by eight women with

typical cases.

And the Corona damages case, Fuellmich said in September 2020, was a "super awesome case" that had

"gigantic chances of success in terms of substantive law," including in Germany. However, he said, there is the problem

in Germany that judges have to rule against their employer. In the USA, the law of evidence is therefore a hundred times

better. Something is already going on there: "If it's already going on, it has to work. No big Canadian or American law

firm is stupid enough to file a lawsuit that has no chance of success.

And Fuellmich advertised on another

platform with a wide reach: until August, he was a member of the "Corona Committee", which promised "reappraisal" of the

pandemic. For it in meanwhile more than 120 several-hour meetings pretty much everyone was questioned extensively, which

could supply with scientific or pseudo-scientific background viewers Corona criticism. An "enlightenment" celebrated in

the scene. One of its most prominent comrades-in-arms was the physician and former SPD politician Wolfgang Wodarg, the

tax consultant Stefan Homburg was named as a board member for the founding, but cancelled* according to his account, co-

chairwoman of the committee was the Berlin lawyer Viviane Fischer.

Today Wodarg and Fischer warn against Fuellmich. But

more on that later.
"One wonders how naive company bosses are".

Fuellmich vigorously stoked expectations. His announcement

was also translated into other languages. Fuellmich dreamed of plaintiffs all over the world, wanted to support fellow

lawyers abroad so they could also collect plaintiffs. In an interview, he spoke of trillions of euros being at stake. Of

course, the taxpayer would have to pay for it, but that would be cheaper than letting the companies all go bankrupt.

Those willing to sue lined up, mostly entrepreneurs who saw money or a chance to overturn Corona rules. "It makes you

wonder how naive even CEOs can be," says Hamburg lawyer Thorsten Bölck. "They wanted to hear something, and he gave it to

them because he nurtured and served an enemy image." Bölck made this experience after talking to Fuellmich clients who

continue to stand by the class action and its mastermind.

He himself represents a contractor who also paid in for the

"class action" but has since distanced himself. The first bill came on September 28, 2020. The performance in the

compensation agreement:

".... the mandate to provide legal advice and representation in connection with the assertion of

damages as a result of the "Corona Measures". This includes, in particular, out-of-court representation for the

commencement of negotiations (...) in Germany as well as correspondence and assistance with (...) attorneys in the (...)

USA to the extent necessary for the preparation and enforcement of the claims for damages - if necessary in the form of a

class action in the USA."

What hardly anyone understood: The Corona lawsuit was Fuellmich's bet that someone would sue and

that he could hang on to it. And no one wanted to hear the assessments of experts from his supporters: They considered it

virtually impossible to hold Christian Drosten and Lothar Wieler responsible for lockdown damages suffered by victims in

the USA. Even in a successful case, however, this would not mean that money would be available for Germans in Germany

accordingly.
"We should be able to start in three or four weeks."

Fuellmich laughed about this. He was in talks, he told

Russian state broadcaster Sputnik in September 2020. Selecting the right law firms is the most important thing, he said.

"Then it's a no-brainer. I expect three, four weeks, then we should be able to launch." Now he has told something similar

in the weekly pamphlet Democratic Resistance: "For several months" he and "my US colleagues believed that now (...) is

the right time to file such a lawsuit."

So far, however, no major Canadian or American law firm, according to him, "has

been so stupid" as to file a lawsuit. According to sources close to him, Fuellmich's initial euphoria was not an act. He

really had such a lawsuit in mind. But, according to Wolfgang Wodarg, who has long been a close confidant of Fuellmich,

it was not properly thought through. Fuellmich called this criticism "not particularly intelligent drivel."


Quotation Mark

You can collect an awful lot of money with a class action lawsuit. It depends on whether you actually

implement it or whether you just take money out of people's pockets or start fighting. And that's not always so easy. I

think if you do something like that, you have to know beforehand how you're going to implement it.

Wolfgang Wodarg,

doctor, companion and fellow party member of Fuellmich in the Corona party "Die Basis".

Even from his own scene, there had

been someone in the fall of 2020 with the video blogger Elijah Tabere, who had warned early with facts against the

lawsuit. Doubters, however, were simply "people who have no idea" for Fuellmich. Outside the bubble, there was ridicule:
The blog "Volksverpetzer", which repeatedly reported critically, brought out a piggy bank with the imprint: "Fuell

mich!".

Invoices for the amount of 1.44 million euros

And the money for Fuellmich came: According to the continuous numbering,

invoices amounting to at least 1.44 million euros were sent to people willing to sue. However, the name on the contracts

is not Fuellmich, but Marcel Templin. Templin belongs to the Berlin "port lawyers". This law office had already held out

the prospect of legal help to clubs and restaurateurs before Fuellmich. And it was there from the beginning when the

website for the "Corona damages lawsuit" went online on August 20, 2020.


There was no such lawsuit in the USA, and two attempts in South Africa and Canada did not get off the starting blocks.

The Canadian attempt, where a lawyer for Inuit also wanted to sue the Queen and the Vatican, is considered particularly

absurd. Something should have to do that with the "Class Action", tried Fuellmich to explain. The Canadian lawyer has

since emigrated to South America.

Now some of the company bosses that Fuellmich had once convinced are no longer playing along. So people like that

businessman who had been quick to duel with Reiner and who today is taking action against the lawyers Templin and

Fuellmich with lawyer Bölck. He had paid for a long time without complaint and full of enthusiasm: for the "Class Action"

to Fuellmich cooperation partner Templin including value added tax 928 euro. There his medium-size GmbH transferred in

connection with the demand for Corona damages also further invoice amounts over 11,900 and 3,570 euro for "general

consultation".

When the Duisburg Regional Court then sent him a bill for immense court costs, the entrepreneur became suspicious and

asked Bölck for advice. And what he found out by inspecting the files was the big awakening.
Court costs hammered out of the blue

Without a power of attorney from the contractor and without prior information, Fuellmich had filed a lawsuit against

Lothar Wieler. In the lawsuit, he had spoken of "damages amounting to a high double-digit million sum". Such a thing is

expensive, because court costs are based on the amount in dispute. In view of the chosen wording, the court set it at the

maximum sum of 30 million euros. That means 120,000 euros just for filing the lawsuit.

Attorney Bölck says, the entrepreneur learned only by cost demand from the Duisburger court that he sues the RKI boss

there. At a further regional court likewise, there nevertheless clearly more favorably, with only 50,000 euro controversy

value. For it in a complaint as witnesses for an allegedly suffered damage of the complaining enterprise not its managing

director, but the two bosses of an aluminum enterprise in Hagen were called.


Fuellmich moves in Germany for various companies against the head of the RKI in various courts. This provides the

possible explanation for the false names: There may have been sloppy copying of text. They are lawsuits along the same

lines without much effort - "and without any chance of success," says Bölck. If anything, Wieler would have had to be

sued at his Berlin residence. But then, according to speculation, Fuellmich would hardly have been able to file various

lawsuits.

"You have to put an end to this goings-on and shake people up," Bölck says. "I find it morally reprehensible when someone

with a profession in which high trust is placed tells people all kinds of things."

Fuellmich is now threatened with a lawsuit from the entrepreneur himself at his place of residence in Göttingen: he is

supposed to pay back fees, pay damages for court costs and pay the lawyer's fees: a total of 280,000 euros. Marcel

Templin, the man from Fuellmich's actual "class action", is also to pay back just under 18,000 euros for three invoices.

The intended purpose for the transfer to the injured party has it in itself: "Damages wg. fraud on ...". After the letter

was sent, there was apparently an initial rapprochement, and the dispute with Templin could quickly be settled

amicably.**


Public prosecutor's office does not see fraud in lawsuit

The Berlin public prosecutor's office has so far not seen any fraud in the class action lawsuit. After four charges

against Fuellmich and Templin, it decided in April 2022 to refrain from investigations, a spokesman told t-online. The

necessary initial suspicion of fraud does not exist, he said. "Indeed, this would only have been the case if the lawyers

had been unwilling and/or unable to provide the service owed by them in the first place." The performance was merely the

assumption of the mandate and a corresponding action, but not a possible success in the lawsuit. An appeal was lodged

against this, but the Attorney General's Office confirmed: no investigations in Berlin.

Nevertheless, the questions to Fuellmich's entourage became more and more urgent, the longer only excuses came from him

regarding the supposedly largest lawsuit in history. Templin and the law firm "Hafenanwälte" have not answered an inquiry

from t-online since September 5. But they published a press release on Telegram.

The press release states that the cooperation with Fuellmich has been terminated and legal steps have been taken. The

reason for this was "considerable differences regarding the activities of Dr. Fuellmich within the framework of the

Corona Committee" - to which the lawyers of the law firm had also belonged - "and the class action announced by him in

the USA". Fuellmich also lied about why it had not come to that so far.

To the use of the money of the mandators Viviane Fischer accuses him untruths. She had been critical of the "class

action" from the beginning. There was however no business co-operation. However, both are now the shareholders of an

entrepreneurial company founded in the spring of 2022, which operates the Corona Committee. Previously, there was already

an unregistered company of Fuellmich, Fischer and two of the "port lawyers".
Self-service in donations to committee

The committee apparently received a clear seven-digit euro amount from the corona-critical public, which also gladly

transferred independently of the "Class Action". On Wednesday evening, after the first version of this text appeared,

Fischer published a video with accusations against Fuellmich, still in the evening he responded to it. The gist of the

public savaging:

    Fuellmich had been paid 29,750 euros a month by the committee for processing mails, in total almost 660,000 euros,

but had no access to the mails at all. He countered that his office had been paralyzed because no one at the committee

really cared about communication, "the wave hit us in the office". The amount also included a monthly travel allowance of

1,500 euros.
    Fuellmich had put 700,000 euros from the donations, which had been intended as "liquidity reserves" of the committee

and should have been called up at any time, into his house for the redemption of loans or the like. Thus, quick access to

the money was not possible. A house sale, after which the money would then be available again, would be delayed.

Fuellmich replied that both had taken money out of society with corresponding loan agreements - she 100,000 euros to live

on and also paid back only 70,000 of that.
    In the case of an "asset" belonging to the committee, Fuellmich blocked the committee from working with it. This is

about gold that the lawyer bought from donations on behalf of the committee, "because it is thus withdrawn from the

access of the authorities," as Fuellmich explained. It is at Degussa, without Fuellmich's cooperation a sale is

apparently not possible.
    Fuellmich made public that the media company Oval Media, which broadcasts the meetings, had made enormous revenues:

120,000 euros had been billed to the committee via invoices, and through double appeals by Fischer, the company had

received a "much, much higher amount from donations." The owner was Fischer's life companion.

For the committee Fischer had in vain non-profit status sought. "Donations" flowed sometimes on the account of a

Fuellmich employee of many years, then on an own account of the Goettingen lawyer, since end of 2021 a bank account of

Fischer is indicated.

Fischer had already explained that Fuellmich had not used money for the class action as he had stated: It was incorrect

that money had been paid to lawyers and experts involved. The lawsuits in Canada and South Africa, which Fuellmich had

portrayed as attempts to start the class action, had been conducted by the attorneys there without fees. The experts had

also worked pro bono.

Fuellmich now only talks to media activists

So to whom did the money go that was collected for the "trillion lawsuit"? t-online gave Fuellmich the opportunity to

comment. He replied that we no longer give interviews to the "so-called mainstream media," although it was not clear who

he meant by "we." The media, he said, is "completely under the control (not only financial) of those who are responsible

for this planemie and everything else related to the Great Reset (...)." In June, Fuellmich received a penalty order for

incitement of the people for 90 daily sentences of 200 euros. Referring to the Holocaust, he had said, "It was not Hitler

alone*** who did this. It was the Anglo-American financial system."

Fuellmich now only talks to media activists who do not ask him critical questions, and there are only a few of them left.

To a Swiss man who emigrated to Tanzania, he revealed, "It hasn't been used to buy Ferraris." Some of the money for the

lawsuit is still there, he said. And in the coming months, he said, he plans to address the issue in the United States.

And he has a new idea after the break with the "Corona Committee": he now wants to start the "International Crimes

Investigative Committee", a committee to investigate international crimes. However, this doesn't sound entirely new

either: In the summer of 2021, he had already talked about a gigantic court case, among others against the WHO.

Editor's note: The text was extensively supplemented on Wednesday evening.

*Stefan Homburg explained on Twitter after publication of the text that he had been specified as a board member, but had

not been available for this because of doubts about the seriousness.
**After publication, this information was supplemented. Accordingly, there was a conversation between the lawyers Bölck

and Templin on Wednesday.
***In an earlier version the word alone was missing. It did not appear in a German translation of the Fuellmich quote,

but Fuellmich had said it in his English statement.
