Re: The Pirate Bay co-founder arrested in Nong Khai
Wow, Hans Fredrik Lennart Neij AKA TiAM was the last of ThePirateBay founders to get arrested, and now he got busted at the border crossing from Laos to Thailand. Just days after Gottfri got sentenced 42 months..
So, why was he going from Laos to Thailand? Surely he knew he would get arrested this time.
Expired visa? Expired passport?

Re: The Pirate Bay co-founder TiAMO arrested in Laos/Thailan
So, he has crossed the border 27 times illegally without getting caught, and he only got caught this time because they "recognised" him from Interpol's list of wanted fugitives.
He was easy to spot, as he was wearing the same shirt as he was wearing in his wanted picture.
Doesn't this suggest that it's quite easy to get around SEasia even if you're a fugitive, and that they clearly don't run your name through the database when you enter?
The last fugitive co-founder of The Pirate Bay file-sharing website has been arrested in Nong Khai province attempting to cross the border from Laos.
Hans Fredrik Lennart Neij, 36, was arrested at the immigration checkpoint on the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge about 12.30pm on Monday while attempting to enter Thailand with his Lao wife for shopping, Pol Maj Gen Chatchai Iamsaeng, commander of the Immigration Division 4, told the press Tuesday.
mmigration police at the checkpoint recognised Neij from a notice posted in their booth as the man wanted by Interpol and Swedish authorities for jumping bail after a 2009 conviction for running the BitTorrent-based fire-sharing website.
Neij, along with fellow Swedes Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Carl Lundstrom, and Peter Sunde, were found guilty by a Swedish court of aiding copyright infringement. After all appeals were exhausted, they were sentenced to prison and ordered to pay fines of about $7 million.
All the defendants have or are currently serving their jail sentences, except for Neij, who was sentenced to 10 months in prison, but jumped bail and fled to Laos, where is reportedly lives with his wife and three children.
Pol Maj Gen Chatchai said the Swede had crossed the border to Thailand 27 times but he was arrested on Monday when officers recognised him from a wanted photo. He also was wearing the same shirt he was photographed in.
Swedish authorities, Thai entertainment companies and American filmmakers had asked Thai immigration police to look for the Swede as The Pirate Bay has become the world's most-popular site fire-sharing site. Much of the content linked there movies, television shows, music, software, books and other copyrighted items posted on the Internet illegally.
Neij was brought to the Immigration Bureau in Bangkok pending his deportation to.....

Re: The Pirate Bay co-founder TiAMO arrested in Laos/Thailan
he did not cross illegally 27 times but legally.So, he has crossed the border 27 times illegally without getting caught
easy to do as he had to get a new Laos visa every 30 days so thats only 2 years an 3 months
