Hans Pandeya, the CEO of Global Gaming Factory (GGF), the company planning to buy The Pirate Bay, has been reported to the Swedish enforcement service (Kronofogden) for mounting unpaid debts.

- Pirate Bay buyer lines up record deal (5 Aug 09)
- Pirate Bay purchase 'on schedule': buyer (30 Jul 09)
Johan Sellström has also confirmed that he is considering suing Pandeya for the money he claims he is owed as the enforcement service procedure can take time, he told the newspaper.
Sellström, who was one of the founders of the IT consultancy Icon Medialab, was recently cited by Pandeya as evidence of the financial strength of GGF.
The former GGF technical director claims that he has outstanding claims against the company totaling 1.6 million kronor.
Hans Pandeya is also reported to have outstanding tax debts of around 780,000 kronor, the newspaper reports.
The service has made attempts to inform Hans Pandeya over the claims against him but has not been able to confirm receipt.
Trading in the shares of Global Gaming Factory X AB have been immediately suspended, the Aktietorget exchange stated in a press release on Friday afternoon.
GGF announced in June that it planned to purchase the popular downloading website The Pirate Bay for 30 million kronor.
Pandeya announced in the beginning of August that the purchase was set to be rubber-stamped by shareholders by August 27th at the latest.

- 05/2 16:37 Stockholm garbage collectors – an overpaid relic of a bygone age?There is a school of economic thought that opposes the CBA because it creates an insider-outsider workforce, raising wages for those with an over-protected job and levels of unemployment for those without. It is just one side of the argument and there are strong ones available to counter it, but a clearer example of the validity of this thesis is surely hard to find. READ »

"Debt collector hunts Pirate Buy buyer"
You really need to use the spell and grammer checker. 'Buy' and 'Bay' are not the same.
