Rayk Bernt was a close associate of André Sommer. Both were long time fans of BFC Dynamo. The duo was controversial for their connections to Hells Angels. André Sommer and Rayk Bernt had assisted the club during the insolvency crisis in 2001. André Sommer had his own child in the club and continued to sponsor the club for a few years, with personal financial contributions and minor sponsorship deals through his various establishments. One such minor sponsor was the shop Odins Klinge, which belonged to the restaurant Germanenhof in Neu-Hohenschönhausen. BFC Dynamo ended these sponsorship deals in 2006.
