Winston Gerschtanowitz is under fire for wanting to get rich on the back of charity. Yet it was not he, but a colleague with smooth talk yesterday at the table at Eva Jinek. Why?
It’s all very handy from Winston Gerschtanowitz. Last year he not only used Jan Terlouw but also his media friend Beau van Erven Dorens to promote his ‘charity’ Earth Today. What does research by Quote show a year later? Winston is more concerned with his wallet than saving nature.
money hunger
The ‘hypocritical’ Winston causes enormous annoyance among the people. Critics are even comparing him to mouth mask crook Sywert van Lienden. Enough reason to justify yourself. And yet it was not he, but some colleague with smooth talk yesterday in the talk show of Eva Jinek opposite Quote boss Paul van Riessen.
Winston had sent co-founder Constance Scholten to the program to do the dirty work. Apparently, Winston is only used for the sweet talk, but he is protected as soon as it turns out that behind the sweet talk is an indomitable appetite for money.
Eva Jinek surprised
Quote boss Paul thinks Winston is weak, he tells Eva’s talk show table. “We actually see contrasts all the time. We see a wonderful message from Beau and: ‘Oh, it will all turn out so well for the world’, and then it turns out that there is an entire revenue model behind it.”
Eva is also surprised about that. “Why wasn’t that said? Why didn’t Winston say that here at the table? Why hasn’t that been announced up front so at least there’s no fuss about it?”
Constance: “Yes, I think that’s the most important lesson from the Quote article. It should be even more apparent that you are a company that does good.”
“Where’s Winston?”
Eva regrets not being able to ask her questions to Winston. After all, he is the one who put Earth Today on the map and promoted it to colleague Beau last year. “Why isn’t Winston sitting here now?”
Constance: “He’s abroad.”
Eva: “Otherwise he would have been sitting here?”
Constance: “Yes, right away.”
‘Shame!’
Paul thinks Winston really knows he’s being sneaky. “He also said, after some urging from Quote: ‘Anything I’m potentially going to earn from it, I’ll put back into nature.’”
Constance: “And I think that’s a shame, because it’s the first time in his entire career that he’s going to earn money doing good, so as far as I’m concerned he shouldn’t have to earn everything he’s going to earn from this… (…) This is actually for the first time you earn money legitimately with something that actually contributes to a better planet.”
Paul: “600 million, huh? That will soon be on Winston’s account.”
Constance: “Two thirds of which go back to nature conservation. And that is then forgotten.”
Cashing out hundreds of millions of euros under the guise of ‘protecting nature’: Winston completely ignored it at Beau last year. And my colleague Constance complains about things that are ‘forgotten’. A gossip.
