  • Bank accounts belonging to the four men found guilty in the Pirate Bay trial will be frozen as early as Wednesday, according to Sweden’s official debt collection agency.
  • Peter Sunde responded by putting the payment orders through a paper shredder.

  • • “I’ve already shredded them. I don’t have the money so it’s not going to affect my personal finances,” he told the TT news agency.
    • Since the fine is to be paid by the four men together, and the other three men convicted in the case -- Sunde, Fredrik Neij, and Gottfrid Svartholm Warg -- lack assets of any sizeable value, Lundström will end up footing the entire bill.
    • He’s received papers from Kronofogden but we haven’t had a chance to review the matter. But the ruling stands until it’s remitted again due to the judge’s conflict of interests,” said Lundström’s attorney Per E. Samulesson to TT.
    • “We’re now investigating as much as we can what the conflict of interest looks like and we’re assuming that the court of appeal will send the case back to the district court. And then the order to carry out the punishment will be terminated,” said Samulesson.
