Fynn Kliemann is known as an integrity and socially committed YouTuber, singer and entrepreneur - research by ZDF-Magazin-Royale is now questioning this image.

Munich – A few days ago, Fynn Kliemann had a perfect do-gooder image.

The web designer, entrepreneur, musician, author and YouTuber embodies progressive values ​​such as sustainability, social cohesion and entrepreneurship that is not only oriented towards profit.

In 2015, the 34-year-old from Lower Saxony appeared on the scene.

First with DIY videos on YouTube, with which he reached millions of people.

In 2016, together with the TV production company "Cineteam Hannover", he acquired a riding stable in Rüspel, Lower Saxony, which he turned into the so-called "Kliemannsland".

The site is the backdrop for Kliemann's YouTube videos and a meeting place for creative people of all kinds.

Jan Böhmermann reveals: Produced in Bangladesh, sold as "fair masks from Europe"

Research by the satirist Jan Böhmermann and the ZDF-Magazine-Royale shakes the image of the progressive and social entrepreneur Kliemann.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Kliemann is said to have earned millions in masks with the company “Global Tactics”, which he had produced in Bangladesh and Vietnam.

And that despite the fact that he sold them in Germany as "fair masks from Europe".

News flow Fynn Kliemann: "Crisis can also be cool"

The ZDF Magazin Royale will be broadcast on May 6 at 11 p.m., but can be viewed online in advance.

The research is based on internal chats, voice messages, e-mails, delivery notes, order confirmations, photos, video recordings and call lists.

You can find the entire research here.

The reprehensible thing about the story seems to be less the profits from Kliemann's mask business than the feigned do-gooderness.

On his social media channels, the influencer celebrated himself as a savior in need, providing medical protection and securing jobs in Europe.

Fynn Kliemann is said to have given away 100,000 faulty masks to refugees – knowingly.

ZDF-Magazine-Royale: Kliemann also sends broken masks to refugee camps

However, the documents available to ZDF show a different picture of the influencer.

The production of the masks in Bangladesh and Vietnam is to be covered up by “neutral boxes”, but there is greed for profit behind the supposed charity.

In a message to an intermediary, Kliemann writes: "Crisis can also be cool."

But Fynn Kliemann goes one step further: The delivery of the first 100,000 masks from Dhaka (Bangladesh) was inferior and could not be sold.

But from this supposedly unfavorable situation, Fynn Kliemann and his colleagues conjured up another PR gimmick.

They “gifted” the masks to refugee camps in Greece and Bosnia in a publicity-effective manner.

According to ZDF-Magazine-Royale, the masks were clearly “inferior masks that offer the wearer significantly reduced protection against infection.”
