"Milestones set"

EXW snob: flaunting and flaunting without insight

The alleged EXW fraud gang has been on trial for over a year - but even now, the main defendant still believes he has achieved "great things".

Parties, celebrities, show-off watches - this is how the lifestyle of a 27-year-old from Klagenfurt can be described until his arrest. He is considered the mastermind of a multi-million fraud and even after more than a year of trial, he is convinced: "We have set milestones and found solutions that no one before us had!"

Should the dazzling EXW coup from Lake Wörthersee really be filmed for Netflix - as reported, there is already interest in a script - viewers will probably not be bored. Just like those at the Klagenfurt regional court. Because the main defendant Benjamin H. is always good for a surprise.

Two weeks before the planned verdict, he has now clarified what his crypto company was for him: "A vision. We delivered solutions that no one else had. We set milestones." He is still convinced that he has achieved something special with EXW. A confession to a planned fraud probably looks different.
