Yeah, Sweden doesn’t allow for zeroing debts due to legal judgements in personal bankruptcy, IIRC.

This means that they were effectively sentenced to lifelong debt slavery. This is another dark part of the Scandinavian model that most aren’t aware of. Same system in Norway.

I know a friend of one of those 4 mentioned and he is doing absolutely fine (money-wise at least)
Do you know any details? I had the distinct impression that these debts would never be discharged.

Are the authorities just not following up on using the legal framework to seize any of their earnings towards the debt?
