600 MILLION

In the summer of 1997, five men walked into a Swedish investment company and walked out with a fortune, without a mask, without a weapon, and without ever needing to raise a single kronor of their own money.
They used the company's own cash to buy the company.
600 Million is the definitive account of the Trustor affair, one of the largest corporate frauds in Swedish history, and the twenty-seven-year disappearance of the man Swedish media branded its architect: Joachim Posener.
When journalist Gunnar Lindstedt broke the story that October, the scheme unraveled fast. A British lord was cleared. An associate was convicted, then acquitted. A financier went to prison. And Posener vanished, triggering an international Interpol warrant that would shadow him across Spain, Brazil, and beyond for the next decade.
He was never caught. He was never tried. In 2007, the clock simply ran out.
For nineteen years afterward, Posener said almost nothing. Then, in 2026, he agreed to something he had refused his entire life: to sit down, face the camera, and answer for it.
Built from Swedish court records, and prosecutorial filings, 600 Million reconstructs every stage of the fraud, the takeover, the money trail, the trials, the manhunt, and finally, the confession, and asks the question Sweden has never been able to answer in a courtroom: Was he guilty?
Perfect for readers of financial true crime, corporate fraud exposés, and anyone who watched the documentary and needs to know what actually happened
He evaded Interpol for a decade. He evaded a courtroom for twenty-seven years. He can't evade this book. Read the full story behind the Trustor scandal.
