Several artists have reported and sued the man, according to SVT who has been in contact with 16 people who claim that they have not received their money, including the poet Bob Hansson who states that he is missing between 70,000 and 100,000 kronor that he should have received after a tour in 2022. Bob Hansson had hired the man as a booking agent. When Bob Hansson contacted the man and asked for his money, he was met with objections.

”What are you talking about, you will get the money, email again more clearly”, sometimes he was also angry, Bob Hansson tells SVT.

The Musicians' Union warns its members against working with the man and has also sued him.

I think it's a comprehensive scam that's going on here, says the union's chairman Karin Inde.

The manager himself tells SVT that he denies the allegations.
