Talk:Think Tools

Klaus Schwab

Somebody is removing references to Klaus Schwab from this page without a proper justification. All the claims on the page are without controversy, so I take this as an attempt to suppress established information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.69.3.141 (talk) 08:47, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further clarification to Klaus Schwab's resignation from the advisory board. The user "World Economic Forum" says that Wall Street Journal retracted parts of its "criticism". The original text did not contradict this in any way: Schwab was being criticized (this is a fact) at that point and he soon resigned (another fact). The article did not make any claims about how justified the criticism was, and the article very clearly stuck to established facts like Think Tools AG getting lots of publicity in events organized by Schwab. 61.69.3.141 (talk) 09:25, 11 April 2009 (UTC) JR[reply]

I have removed the insinuation that Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum had any involvement in the IPO of Think Tools AG. For clarification: a) The Wall Street Journal whose article from 30 March 2000 is cited as reference had to retract its allegations in its edition of 8 May 2000 under the heading: "Regulators Clear Schwab Foundation" and Exonerate World Economic Forum. b) Klaus Schwab was a member of the board of Vontobel Holding and not of the Vontobel Bank who accompanied the IPO of Think Tools. c) The Zurich prosecutor investigated the behaviour of responsible managers of Vontobel Bank and Think Tools and concluded that there was no violation of law. Matthias Lüfkens, Associate Director, World Economic Forum

The article did not claim or even suggest that Klaus Schwab broke the law. The article only said that Klaus Schwab was closely involved with the company. Does Matthias Lüfkens (or Klaus Schwab, or WEF) claim that Klaus Schwab was not closely involved with the company? Were there retractions of numerous newspaper articles that stated that Klaus Schwab was in different ways closely involved with the company? No. This attempt to remove all references to Klaus Schwab from the web page only indicate that WEF or Matthias Lüfkens don't want to be very open about Schwab's involvement with Think Tools AG.
