Yesterday Peter Hogan, owner of the Khmer440 forum, revealed that Gottfrid had been working for Arocore, an IT company involved in creating online casino software.The now defunct Arocore was owned by a UK businessman named Kit Hargreaves. Three years ago Hargreaves told another expat who asked to remain anonymous that Gottfrid landed in Phnom Penh and asked him for work.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“Gottfrid turned up, asked Kit for work, told him his name and said ‘if you want to know who I am, Google me’,” </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But according to Hogan the business relationship between Gottfrid and Hargreaves went downhill when the former’s drug use started affecting his performance and the business.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“[Gottfrid] was said to have been absent from his work project for weeks at a time and on one occasion was reportedly discovered sobbing crouched in the foetal position under the company boardroom table as a meeting was taking place,” Hogan claimed yesterday.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But while Gottfrid certainly experienced significant difficulties in recent years, it is worth noting that Hogan’s article yesterday made no mention of the personal disputes he’d had with Gottfrid in recent years.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the beginning, Gottfrid was a user on Hogan’s Khmer440 forums, posting under the name Agrippa and entertaining other members with his friendly personality and tales of his lock-picking hobby. Later he progressed up the ranks to moderator and beyond to become more and more involved in the technical side of Khmer440.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">At one point Gottfrid secured hosting for the site on the servers of PRQ in Sweden but then something went sour. A dispute between him and Hogan led to accusations of domain hijacking. Although the site quickly returned to health,</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> So what now for Gottfrid? Details are scarce but yesterday local police said that although there is no extradition treaty between Cambodia and Sweden, they are looking into their laws to see how the case can be handled.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, according to someone [we'll call him Tommy] who got into trouble in Cambodia “for being a complete idiot”, authorities out there do pretty much as they please and getting people out of the country is easily achieved,</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> extradition treaty or not.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“I was arrested in Phnom Penh as a result of drugs misuse. The misuse of drugs lead me to assault a fellow expat after a falling out between us,” </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“I was detained in a Sangkat (commune) jail for 4 days whilst awaiting transfer to the deportation jail which is housed opposite Pochentong Airport, located 7 km west of Phnom Penh. I was detained there for approximately 4 weeks whilst my return home was arranged and paid for by a nominated person in my resident country, liased with via my embassy.”</span></b><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Conditions in the deportation jail aren’t excellent, but are apparently much better than those experienced in a “proper” Cambodian jail.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“You sleep on the floor. You may have a wicker type mat in the cell, though that’s not guaranteed. There are between 1 and 5 people per cell,” Tommy explained.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“During the time in the detention block you’re fed rations enough for three small meals a day, all food delivered in the morning. A diet of instant noodles (once you buy yourself something to boil your water with) and bread. You’re entitled to extras such as cigarettes at the discretion of the warden.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“During my time there you were subject to 24 hour lock up as fraternizing on the landings which was previously allowed had led to drugs being exchanged. The only time out of your cell is to meet with embassy staff which may happen once a fortnight or so (sometimes more regularly depending on the number of detainees from one country).”</span></b><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">According to Tommy, time held in detention varies greatly.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“One guy was out in 9 days yet an English expat had been housed there for more than 8 months as he had no way to pay for his return,” we were told.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Although it seems fairly clear that Gottfrid would have preferred to stay in Cambodia, under his current conditions coming home to Sweden must seem like an attractive proposition.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Source: <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/sweden-ordered-pirate-bay-founders-arrest-cambodia-mulls-options-120902/" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none;">Torrentfreak</a></span></b></div></div></div>
