"Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm and Carl Lundström were all found guilty and sentenced to serve one year in prison and pay a fine of 30 million SEK". I wouldn't call it walk freely.
- marvin 6y agoYeah, Sweden doesn’t allow for zeroing debts due to legal judgements in personal bankruptcy, IIRC. This means that they were effectively sentenced to lifelong debt slavery. This is another dark part of the Scandinavian model that most aren’t aware of. Same system in Norway.
- himlion 6y agoI know a friend of one of those 4 mentioned and he is doing absolutely fine (money-wise at least)
- marvin 6y agoDo you know any details? I had the distinct impression that these debts would never be discharged. Are the authorities just not following up on using the legal framework to seize any of their earnings towards the debt?
