with Thilo Fuchs and Oliver Baron
‘I am the devil’ Thilo said, ‘We could also call it ‘going to war”. ‘Ok’ I said ‘Great, sounds just what we need, how about we do it about the weapons business?
you know design, production, and selling of weapons? Thats like a total business’.
‘Hmmm I’m not sure, you know people always think I’m the devil, designing business plans thats much more subversive’.
