If you already know what Manwin is, then you love porn just as much as us. For those of you who don’t know, allow us to fill you in, (no pun intended).

Manwin owns the adult websites Reality Kings, YouPorn, Spankwire, Webcams Tube8, ExtremeTube, KeezMovies, Mofos, ExtremeTube, JuicyBoys and PornHub. Manwin also operates Playboy Plus in a licensing deal with Playboy Enterprises and also owns brands such as Digital Playground, Brazzers and Twistys. They are an online giant. According to one German newspaper Manwin’s YouPorn and PornHub boasted 5.5 billion page views in July 2012, compared to Wikipedia’s 6.3 billion. These are numbers you just cannot ignore.

Xbiz.com, one of the leading Adult Entertainments Online Magazine, reported that Fabian Thylmann, Manwin’s founder and managing partner was picked up in Brussels on alleged charges of tax evasion in Germany, after German officials seized numerous computers and documents at the offices of Manwin in Hamburg, Germany on Dec. 4.

Manwin’s officials have yet to release a statement or respond for a comment, but Mike South, who’s infamous blog posts constantly dig into Manwin did have this to say: “Many is the time I told Fabian I would live to see him taken away in handcuffs…..The good is I did, the bad is it isn’t for what he should have been arrested for, the good is it’s likely just the beginning.  Whose laughing now Fabian?”, although, in the past South has taken every chance in the world to short jab Thylmann & Manwin.

As details unfold, we are hoping to hear a full statement from Manwin or Thylmann to help lay many of the rumors to rest. We wish Fabian the best of luck with this hopefully short lived challenge.
