Winston Gerschtanowitz is quite disappointed now that Quote has discovered that he hopes to become very rich through a smart construction through his charity. “We call this a Sywertje!”
Confidence in both celebrities and charities is already quite low due to all kinds of scandals, but Winston Gerschtanowitz is now taking that to a new low. He’s on the cover of Quote this month, and the ten-page article about his ‘charity’ Earth Today is pretty humiliating.
Second Sywert
Winston has already been compared by several prominent people to the mouth cap crook Sywert van Lienden. Journalist Mark Koster: “Is Winston Gerschtanowitz a bit Sywert? Selling idealistic green talk to fill a BV.”
Podcast presenter Sander Schimmelpenninck: “Look what my former colleagues found in the planted forest of Earth Today! Sywert proves to be an inspiration to many.”
Old-New Revu editor-in-chief Jonathan Ursem: “Winston Gerschtanowitz gives Sywert a lesson here how to become really rich (billionaire?) by pretending to do something good for the world but setting up a profit machine behind the scenes. Are you standing then, with your €9 million…”
And Rens Muller, boss of Bicycling magazine: “We call that a Sywertje.”

Wilfred confronts
Wilfred Genee warned Winston not to play Sywertje even before this scandal. “The funny thing is: I was on stage with him a few months ago and then I asked him: ‘Not a Sywertje, huh, I hope?’” he says in Today Inside.
What did Winston say then? “Then he did start to laugh, but I said: ‘No, you can’t afford to make money from it yourself now.’ ‘No, this is all going to the rainforest, all important for nature.’”
Johan Derksen, pointing to Johnny de Mol: “The advantage of Talpa is that you can simply continue your program.”
Lobbying from the tube
Why did Shownieuws not come up with this story last night? They wanted that, but Winston didn’t, reveals Quote boss Paul van Riessen.
Paul tweet: “Really fascinating, the Shownieuws reporter thought what I told about this in front of his camera. But unfortunately the item will not make it to the broadcast, because ‘the counter-reaction caused some hassle’. In other words, Winston Gerschtanowitz lobbied it off the air.”
