Rayk Bernt sold parts of the rights to the former crest to Thomas Thiel in 2007. The price was allegedly a six-digit sum. Thomas Thiel was the owner of company Treasure AG and had been presented as a possible new major sponsor by then club president Mario Weinkauf. However, Mario Weinkauf was ultimately rejected by club members in a vote of no-confidence at the general meeting on 23 June 2007. He became club president at Tennis Borussia Berlin and Treasure AG instead became a sponsor of that club.
