In some recent posts, the founder of the german studivz (facebook copy cat) accused the Samwer brothers and other german copy cat incubator leaders of tax fraud and very bad behaviour against their employees e.g. using ~90% interns, make them work 12-14 hrs for near-no-pay, headhunt people from concurrent companies just to fire them 2 weeks later to "burn" them for "both" companies.
In the so called "management" level some people should got fired just right upfront a deal or deadline to rip their bonuses.
While I was not involved personally, I often hear and read about this and it looks to me that competing companies did/do it the exactly same way, not only the Samwers/Rocket.
That's why the "German startup industry" is broken. If you can only clone ideas, twit employees and (as someone claims) rip off dumb billionaires, this should not be a role model of entrepreneurship on HN.
