Following the first post, you would probably be willing to know more about Willie. Together with some friends we collected the main theories about his whereabouts.

1. The East-German hypothesis
This theory leads us somewhere in the East of Germany just before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

"In the chaos of the days leading up to the actual destruction of the wall and the fall of East Germany's communist government, frantic Stasi agents sent trucks full of documents to the Papierwolfs andReisswolfs — literally "paper-wolves" and "rip-wolves," German for shredders." Wired

The East-German hypothesis says that Willie would be a piece of one of those documents schredded by the dying stasi (the east german secret agency). Due to the increasing pressure, there would have been a defect in the schredding process that led to Willie’s fate. If this hypothesis turns out to be correct, Willie could now probably be lying in an office aimed at reconstructing the old documents somewhere in Berlin.

2. The Silicon hypothesis
Other clues seem to indicate a different scenario named the “the silicon hypothesis”. According to this, Willie would be a defected piece of silicon on insulator somewhere in Crolles (near Grenoble, France). Due to the financial crisis, the project for which Willie was produced would now be suspended and Willie would be stocked in a cellar “for future use”.
