Sweden Launches Criminal Probe of Pirate Bay Sale

uolamer writes with word that the Economic Crimes Bureau in Sweden has opened an investigation into the upcoming purchase of The Pirate Bay by Global Gaming Factory X. Quoting: "The Swedish newspaper SvD reported Saturday that authorities are looking for possible insider trading after Global Gaming's stock jumped a week before they announced plans to acquire The Pirate Bay. Trading of Global Gaming shares was halted by AktieTorget, a Swedish exchange, on Friday after officials there requested proof that Global Gaming had enough money to complete the sale. Global Gaming has yet to produce the required documentation. Until officials get the proof they need, they said they won't allow the stock to be traded again."

umothersamilf writes with word that the Economic Crimes Bureau in Sweden has opened an investigation into the massive stoppage in the public sewer system this morning. Quoting: "The Swedish newspaper SvD reported Saturday that authorities are looking for the person responsible for dropping such a massive deutch mark. All sewer flow was halted by AC, a Swedish poster, on Friday after officials noted that the 34 inch main transit sewer pipe was completely stopped up.
