I am in total confusion! This all seems like a drastic turn of events. I was under the impression that Reiner’s defense was proceeding well and that he would be exonerated. What does this ultimately mean for Reiner? Will he be found guilty and remain in prison? And what about the threats made to the presiding judges and Reiner’s Attorney Misere; Isn’t that further proof that German intelligence just wanted to take Reiner down. I’m going to have to read through everything and all the comments to try to gain a better understanding.

I am not a lawyer and I am not familiar with German law. I am summarizing my understanding of this situation, to attempt to make sense of it in my own mind.

Rainer was blacklisted by the German authorities (as was now exposed officially in court). The prosecutor colluded with members of the CC. A conspiracy for which the Prosecutor will hopefully be taken to task, meaning to court!

Rainer got lured into and arrested illegally in the German Embassy in Mexico and deported to a German jail.

Reiner is or was part of the Corona Committee. If he is not anymore, who had the right to kick him out (I know they did, but did they have any legal standing to do so)? I still don’t understand what the legal structure of this committee actually is. Was it ever properly established? Whatever it was, wasn’t it supposed to be changed to something else, but VF dragged her feet in the process? So, what was the legal foundation of the committee? Meaning, to what legal entity did people contribute money to? They obviously contributed for the CC for do do their investigative work. But did anybody who sent money care about the legal structure of the CC? I doubt it. In these crazy times, people saw a savior in Reiner, and hoped to contribute to uncovering the myriad of crimes committed by the authorities through him (no one else in the CC truly did so!) exposing them in the extensive interviews he conducted with specialists and whistleblowers from various areas.

Obviously to all, the heavy lifting was done by Reiner. VF was a rather weird co-host. The other two, AF and JH, weren’t fully there even when they deigned to attend a meeting, which was rare enough.

Who of those four, if any, has any legal right to that money? That the CC would use the funds to pay for operational expenses should be obvious. And that VF’s lover’s company received a sizeable junk thereof was exposed in the court hearings.

Answering the myriad of emails the CC must have gotten should be remunerated, this should be obvious too, especially since there were funds to do so. Therefore, if Reiner’s law firm took over that job from VF, who seemingly didn’t perform very well on that front either, then his law firm ought to have been paid for it.

That money of any organization working for the “opposition” of the political agenda was in jeopardy is also obvious and we have plenty of cases from around the world showing bank accounts being closed or frozen (aka the money being stolen). Removing the funds from the bank accounts was the only reasonable thing to do, especially since several of the CC’s accounts were closed by the respective banks anyway, from what I understand.

What to do with the funds?

Cryptocurrency account: too risky, because of 1) massive fluctuation, 2) the lawmakers doing their best to make cryptos difficult to access, or illegal, or whatever else they can do to disrupt this alternative mode of payment; 3) too easy to lose a lot of money, if not everything

Metals (gold and silver): Seem the best option. Pretty stable, trend going up, can be kept in a safe, can be liquidated when needed.

Using donated money for personal purposes, like a home upgrade:

I don’t know, because I don’t know who this money belonged to, and for what purposes it could legally be used! Has that been established? It does make sense from the point of view of keeping the money safe from governmental overreach. If the legal entity in whose name the money was sent allows for that, or the people representing the legal entity, then there should be no problem.

However, the problem arises that only Reiner was kidnapped and imprisoned, even though VF also took money from the CC for personal use/safe keeping. Therefore it was either illegal to do so, which means she should be in jail too – though probably not under the criminal law, since nobody was hurt by either of them safekeeping some of the money privately – or it was not illegal, hence Reiner should never have been arrested in the first place.

But VF was just exonerated from any wrong doings by the judge, wasn’t she? How is that legally possible? Both Reiner and VF did the same thing – only the amounts differ. I can only see a politically motivated witch hunt going on here, and nothing that is in any way motivated by the law (whatever this means these days…), or by people being hurt by someone’s/Reiner’s actions!

However, there is a real crime that quite obviously has been committed: the theft of the money from the sale of Reiner’s house. How can it possibly be legally transferred to a person whose name is not on the mortgage or the legal title? MT was not part of the CC (or was he?, he does not represent the CC and he has no more right than me or you to Reiner’s money. Even if the was part of the CC and he had the right to take the money back and put it in a bank account of the CC, how could he possibly do so legally without the home owner's/Reiner's consent? Moreover, were he a legal representative of the CC, would only be entitled to the amount from the CC, not the whole amount of the sale! And that amount would have to be put into an account of the CC, not in his personal bank account! Am I getting this wrong? If not, why is MT not sitting in court yet, in handcuffs? After all, he has actually harmed somebody: Reiner Fuellmich!
