In the last days of the Wirecard trial, former Wirecard CEO Markus Braun footed his defense on merchants still considered "big players" in the porn sector. However, their business was not handled by third-party partners in Asia but by Wirecard itself or so-called "white label acquirers" from Europe with whom it had business ties. This is shown by several internal merchant lists with more than 8,000 (!) porn websites listed.
