New question marks have been raised over Global Gaming Factory X (GGF), the company that plans to purchase Swedish file-sharing site The Pirate Bay, after the resignation of its chairman.

- Music body cautions Pirate Bay suitor (7 Aug 09)
Bergman's resignation is the latest in a series of setbacks to befall GGF after the previous departures of board member Johan Sällström and adviser Wayne Rosso.
According to Peter Gönczi, the CEO of market exchange Aktietorget, where GGF stock is listed, the resignation of the chairman is an additional obstacle for the resumption of trading in the company's shares.
GGF will remain on the exchange's observation list and trading will not be resumed on Monday, despite previous comments to the contrary by CEO Hans Pandeya.
"Aside from the money there are obviously a series of other questions that need to be straightened out," Gönczi told SvD.
The Local reported on Friday that trading in GGF stock had been suspended after reports that Pandeya was being pursued by the Swedish enforcement service for mounting unpaid debts.
Johan Sellström confirmed that he considering suing Pandeya for money he alleges he is owed.
Furthermore Pandeya is also reported to have outstanding tax debts of around 780,000 kronor ($111,155).

"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 »
