1) Thank you very for the information on LeoXChange.

Sorry, Peter78, but your conclusion is a riddle to me.
The correct quote is "When we as a company with our member base of currently almost 200,000 entrepreneurs and registered merchants all work together"
I do not see Dan suggesting that there are almost 200.000 registered merchants, but rather stating that there are almost 200,000 entrepreneurs. The merchants - number not stated - come in addition to that. I have no access to the actual number of LEO members, but that will likely indeed be around 200,000. According to the LEO Marketplace website, there are over 32,000 merchants. If these figures are correct, this would mean that the combined total of LEO member and merchants would be around 230,000.
Sorry, but as it is written now, everyone will think that there are 200 000 merchants!
Otherwise, there must be an additional world like some/less etc in "200,000 entrepreneurs and some(!) registered merchants".
@Peter78,
as you see, I added the correct quote once more. This is handy, as it states the figures as they are public now.
Now to your conclusion: When I would assert (A) in the garden there are 5 dogs and cats. You suggest that everyone would think that A is stating that there are 5 cats. I do not see how this follows from that statement. Normally one would conclude that there is a total of 5 animals, viz. dogs and cats. In the interview, it does indeed look like that the total of both LEO members and LEO merchants would sum up to 200,000. In my comment, I have pointed at the probably currently adequate numbers.
Please understand, that I present the answers as they were given in the interview.
