In the spring of 1997, five people bought the investment company Trustor. On paper, everything appeared to be in order, but three months later the scam was exposed. To this day, one of Sweden's biggest financial crimes remains shrouded in mystery. No one really knows what went down, who did what, or how the lives of those involved were affected by the conflicts that continued long after the crime was committed. The mastermind behind the coup, Joachim Posener, disappeared without a trace and has managed to stay hidden from both Interpol and the Swedish police for thirty years. Now, documentary film director Karin af Klintberg has found him.

Sofia B @costadelcrime 3d Absolute rubbish and full of inaccuracies. The main storyline seems to be that Mr. Posener has been "in hiding" for 30 years, and now that the statute of limitations has run out, he's ready to come forward. However, it is a well-known fact that the statute of limitations for the alleged crimes in Trustor had already run out in June 2007. So Mr. Posener has been "hiding" after that for no reason for 20 years, which is not explained. The other main character is Mr. Thomas Jisander, who, according to Swedish media, has changed his name to Thomas Johansson, which also is not explained. Mr. Jisander / Johansson appears to be drunk through out the documentary. Sufficient to say that in 2018 Jisander / Johansson was arrested in France, extradited to Sweden, and then in 2019 convicted of rape and some fresh financial crimes and sent to prison for years.
