They called him the stock market guru – Dieter Behring is dead

His flair for the dramatic appearance did not come to him never lost, even as he stood after twelve years of battle with the justice court and held to be the "first and hopefully last" plea in his own defense. Dieter Behring drove up in a black Pick-up Truck, on the edge of his Website plastered – www.venceremos.ch, we will prevail.

On that Tuesday in June 2016, the anger that had built over the years in his 2-meters-the body was unloaded. Behring geisselte the corrupt Swiss justice system, sneered at by a "slime trail" from the Prosecutor to the judge. The Prosecutor, he said in the face: "Actually, I would have to come to you over the plea and take it to the left and right ears." But he doesn't do, he beat no people and certainly no loser.

The charges could be "Smoking the pipe". The fact was: He had developed an IT System to be successful money in the stock market. Now, if hundreds of millions of francs have disappeared, is not the be error. The environment had become greedy.

The lightning-and-Thunder rhetoric didn't help. The Federal criminal court in Bellinzona sentenced Behring met in September 2016 because of commercial fraud, to five and a half years in prison. The presiding judge called the "System Behring" a "Bluff". Most of it entrusted to him the money had not been invested, around 2000, investors would have approximately lost 800 million Swiss francs. Behring had not been by a third party duped: "He was the dominant of the main person." With other words: For the court, Dieter Behring was the operator of the largest Ponzi scheme in the Swiss history.

"a Fanatical computer builders"

he was Born in Solothurn, his school years he spent in lower Saxony, and later the family came back to Switzerland. To his 14. Birthday all he wanted was a computer kit. "Since then, I am a fanatical computer builders and users," said Behring to the court. With his laboratory assistant-apprenticeship contract as a security he received in 1971, a 5,000-franc loan. So he began to speculate.

The financial-Star, he made it only much later, in the second half of the 90s. At the time, he began to invest his customers money by using a self-developed system. Or at least he said that. Behring've cracked the "genetic Code of the stock exchange", falsely rumoured at the time, in financial circles, especially in the Region of Basel. His self-developed algorithm can see the future, could say courses before.

that is the eternal promise of a secure income put. Investors rallied around him, in the hope of record-high yields at a record-low risk to retract. Behring worked consistently on the own myth: He was all in Black, made in Basel, a city Palace for 30 million francs to rebuild (velvet underground swimming pool), bought two Porsches, had in his control room in front of a battery of screens to photograph.

special unit took him in the bathroom

in 2004, collapsed the System. In the media published critical reports on the tangled network of offshore companies, into which the investments flowed. At the end of the various Expo showed ducks with each other. Behring was arrested. In court, he said a special unit had taken him in the bathroom.

The education is not completed until today. Hundreds of millions of remained disappeared. The case of justice dropped noticeably: The investigation lasted for over a decade and has expanded in all directions. 2012 Federal Prosecutor Michael Lauber took the chief investigator and decided to focus on the Central figure Behring and not on the nine Mitbeschuldigten. A decision that came only with the latter's lawyers to criticism, because of the principle of equality before the Law in doubt was drawn.

However, Behring contributed his part to delay, because he rode with several defenders atomizer.

thick legal writings, peppered blog entries

at the same time he never ceased to fight. At his side he had the bar in Bruno Steiner, stood in for him due to the particularity of the Case for free. And his wife Ruth, who had once worked as an assistant for him, later on, the Newspapers brought, as he remained in custody for sass, and in Bellinzona for a week on the same spectator chair, while Switzerland made her husband the process.

According to the verdict Behring struggled more with thick legal writings and strongly-worded blog entry. Before the Federal court, he was subject to; his last attempt to have the case re-roll, failed at 14. December 2018.

The imprisonment, he entered never. The legal battle a medical was to come, at the beginning of January 2019, a hospital stay was to be avoided. On his Website he had uploaded years ago under the title "And goodbye" is a quote: "Only when the child loses in me / is it time for me to go."

Now, two informed sources tell this newspaper: Dieter Behring passed away earlier this week at the age of 63 years. (Editorial Tamedia)
