I think everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. Journalists rarely care who they hurt.

Yeah, I know he's my friend. I stand by him until proved wrong.
That's what "friend" means to me.
Thanks Mike, I am with you on this one.

I am totally on the outside of this situation and don't know Uwe.

But I sincerely hope for his safe return and the preservation of his good name.

I really agree with you. I do not know the guy personally but I just see the German police as protecting his assets.

I am also getting a little bit worried the amount of time this has taken, just hope everything turns out fine. I have been a fan of Gemballas work.

This is a very strange story and hopefully all ends up well. Best wishes to Gemballa and his family.

That being said, posted under the article on jalopnik, someone threw this in...

HELLO GOOD SIRS:
I am Mr. Ali Gemballa. My UNCLE Uwe Gemballa has recently been discovered in SOUTH AFRICA and greatly needs help in transferring a large sum of money into the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Opressive FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS have been seeking his money, and he wishes to move it safely out of the country. PLEASE reply to this and you will receive a sum of $50.000 USD for your assistance. Please this is URGENT.
Thank You
MR Ali Gemballa of SOUTH AFRICA
Just thought I would share. Hope we hear something soon.
