He provided ISP services, he wasn't exactly a co-founder. The TPB AFK documentary is quite good about the trial. Crazy that they got harsher sentences than a lot of rapists in Sweden - like the guy who got only 14 months and then received ~$80k USD from the government: https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/skriftlig-fraga/skadestand-till-domd-sadistisk-valdtaktsman_h8113492/ https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/skri...

> In 2018, he was sentenced, together with his accomplice, to pay half a million kronor in damages to the two women he helped rape. But since he could not pay any damages, it was instead the taxpayers who were forced to pay it for him. This is what the plaintiff's lawyer for one of the two raped women tells Samnytt. So the first issue was that the government stepped in to give his victims money. I hope that the government is then going after him to make that whole I don’t know since this seems to be a press release from the government criticizing the judiciary. > The reason is that the Supreme Court has ruled that the convicted rapist may have been under 18 when he raped two women in Malmö in 2017 and was therefore sentenced to an excessively harsh sentence by first the Malmö District Court and later the Skåne and Blekinge Court of Appeal. > The damages correspond to a compensation of 60,000 kronor per month for the 14 months that JK believes the convicted rapist was forced to spend too long in prison. The decision to give money to a rapist in this way has rightly met with strong criticism from the public, who think it is wrong for a convicted rapist to receive so much money. While optically, politically, and emotionally it’s undesirable and reprehensible, from another perspective it’s admirable that the Swedish justice system seems to be upholding the law regardless of who it benefits. A legal system needs to protect criminal systems from the government mob just as much as it needs to protect society from criminals.

  It's worse though - that it turned out his documents were falsified and he lied about his age - https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/JxGBa4/felet-i-bevisningen-som-aklagaren-missade https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/JxGBa4/felet-i-bevisnin... So he had fraudulently received that money too.

    > A document examiner at the Swedish Migration Agency says in Uppdrag granskning that she has never seen a passport with that validity period before, which could indicate that it is a fake passport. Hmm... an unnamed source. > "I believe we made the assessment that the review that the border police did of the passport was the one we presented to the court", says prosecutor Kristina Amilon to Uppdrag granskning. vs a formal representative of the government. So maybe faked but doesn't sound like there's actually accepted evidence. If faked, of course that exposes him to further legal liability which should be used to prosecute him further since he defrauded the government (+ get back the money). This is why I stay away from tabloids - the reporting quality is extremely poor & intentionally sensationalized and often precisely to try to mislead you.
