## Controversies

In 2008, the call-in game critic Marc Döhler criticized Schradin's appearances on 9Live for what he saw as misleading statements, for example about the popularity of searched puzzle terms. Schradin insulted a fellow game show host by referring to him as “That blonde pedophile right there”, whereupon he was suspended for a short time. In addition, Schradin hosted a fraud case on 9Live on 17 November 2008, in which solutions were subsequently changed. According to his own statements, Schradin himself reported this incident and thereby contributed to the clarification
