Some more background (article is in German, use Google Translate):

- The whistleblower sent 50GB emails and screenshots to c't that so-called 'promotors' lured customers into upgrades

- c't / heise.de is Germany's most reputable tech publication / publisher

- After c't reported the fraud Lovoo denies and tries to damage c't's / heise's reputation by writing other major publications (see end of article, update 1) that heise doesn't work properly

- This is really heavy because Lovoo and his CEO Benjamin Bak were partied for many years, they haven't taken any VC money and make 8 digit revs
