Oliver Schröm publishes entire Joffe letter to Max Warburg on Twitter.
–
No confidentiality of correspondence: Investigative-Journalist Oliver Schröm publishes the entire cum-ex letter from “Zeit” publishers on Twitter Josef Joffe to his friend and bank co-owner Max Warburg. In it, Joffe writes, among other things, that he “begged” Warburg to hire an “excellent PR agency” in order “to convince the public for the sake of its good reputation.” At the same time, Joffe complains that he has received insufficient advice from the Warburg private bank: In the Brexit quarter, he suffered a four percent loss in his own portfolio.
Schröm criticizes that Joffe gave the “Spiegel” the impression that the bank had not been given the opportunity to comment before the planned publication date. Instead, the bank declined an interview that had been requested early on. Shortly before the research was published, the bank responded in writing to a request for comment – in which it denied being involved in cum-ex transactions and threatened legal action.
