Olof K Gustafsson has run the company “Escobar Inc”, which refers to the notorious cartel leader Pablo Escobar from Colombia. Among other things, he has marketed himself through YouTube and influencers, and tried to sell products through Escobar’s name. Now a Spanish federal court has approved extraditing the 31-year-old to the United States. Aug. 14. 2024

He is accused of over 100 crimes after running the company “Escobar Inc”.

Olof K Gustafsson was arrested in Marbella last December and is accused of fraud, money laundering and organized crime. Among other things, it will be about false sales of luxury mobile phones and physical cryptocurrency that have not been delivered.

olof k Gustafsson is probably the stangest person who has become famous in sweden.

since he was 17 year old he was given a relatively large space in the media but then he disappeared from the limelight for for several years.

and when he came back at the end of 2020  then he was a changed person with a completely different attitude

   he had gone from being  like a nerd who was doing comic books to now   all ofa sudden he had a  cocky attitude and claimed he was  working with  Pablo escobar’s brother.

an at the end of 2023 he was also arrested in  spain on suspicion of several  different serious crimes  after an investigation by FBI

and  he now risks  according to his own satement ,2050 years in prison.

so how  could a nerdy 17 year old  who ran four companies

and  who had big ambitions all of a sudden  shift to start working  on various  scams, becom friends with roberto escobar  start arguing with several successful people and have the FBI  after  him

when  olof K Gustafsson’s name began to spread in 2010 ,the publicity he received was largely only  positive 

he presented himself as a driven and ambitious 17 years old who aimed to becom a dollar billlionair 

he said that as a 17 year old he ran four different companies  and that he had already started his first company as a 13 year old .

so much of the publicity he received was about just that

and if you  paid  a little attention ,you could alreade see here that  olof had an ability to twisting things to make his accomplishments appear to be a bigger or better achievement than they actuallly were .

because the fact was that at this  time he hadn’t really accomplished anything of note .

his  various businesses that he ran through his father’s company didn’t factor in many kronor on the contrary for olof’s father himself has said that they were making a loss 

and olof’s father’s  cmpany  had a turnover of just over on mllion kronor a year and olof”s fathet himself had business it was most likely a very  large percentage of the turnover of income from olof’s father  business.

 and in interviews olof did not want to tell how much his series of newspaper companies had sold but instead  he bragged about how many page views one of websites had since the start

he also lied about his grades…..

he said in interviews that he had MVG(very well approved) in in all subjects  but in a criminal case  that we will get into soon 

olof ‘s father  stated that he assumed that olof was frustrated that the high school grades  were not  enough to enter law school or commerce at school

something that olof  as a 17 year old said was his  plan.

and not long after this something started to happen with olof  and his  company.

his Tradera was flooded with customers who had  bought comics from him but  didn’ t get something 

“didn’t  get a book i emailed several times and got no  reply”

 “don’t buy from him , paid, didn’t get an album  didn’t hear  a word “

and after  a while olof went on a series forum  and wrote 

” unfortunately i have no control over the series shelf since may 14 thus nor responsiblity   ,so i advise everyone against shopping from the series shelf and the Tradera series shelf.

and the explanation for this was that things had really soured between olof and his father

because  olof reported his father for abuse at this time  

and whether Olof’s father had never been convicted of assaulting Olof

it is possible to read that a neighbor testified that she heard that  the father yell at olof . there were strong words that were uttered

for example useless, get out of here, go to hell.

olof himself said that his father things like your life will be worthless if you don’t stay  with me , black skull , idiot and jew’s pig.

olof also said  that from 2006 he was constantly subjeted to to various forms of abuse  from his father , sometimes less serious and sometimes rougher 

olof says that he was not allowed to have access to his computer  or mobile after  certain hours and that he was not allowed to bring friends home he is said  to have been beaten once when he had brought a friend home

and both olof  and his father says that it was precisely olof’s buisness that was a major  reason for  their quarrel.

olof’s father was acquitted  for this ,but the the disctrict court wrote  that

” the court has got the impression that the conditions at georg and olof’s home during the years 2006 to  2011  has been difficult.

and after this olof took his pick and pack  and moved to the USA  where  his mother  lived   and it is also  now that  olof derails properly

even though  much  has disappeared over time and websites have been deleted to hide the tracks

there are  clear evidence of  olof now starting to try commit fraud and fake his  his image

you can find  little things like one of his  homepages at this time

 had a photoshopped image where olof cut his head in on james bond

or that he has lied about when he was close to starting  a company witha person who had connection to the  former republican presidential candidate mitt romney 

and whether olof actually managed to blow people at this time or not is hard to know but  after a year  he starts a new  company where he will lend money

and what we know about his lending  business is that he was sued because  of it and  what you can read  in the  lawsuit is that olof and his partners blew people

often elderly  as regards loans with s home as security.

 

in one place in the lawsuit, it can be read that olof and his partners defrauded an 82 year old  mentally ill  Aunt  millie.

they are also accused of falsifying the loan application and changing the terms so that the people would not be able to repay

and in this way Olof and his partners gain control over their homes

it seems that the whole buisness idea is to deliberately trick people into bad  loans and sometimes also  change the terms of  the loans so they know that the customers will not be able to payback

and just to explain how bad loans that olof  issued  there is  an example included in the lawsuit where it concerns a loan of $180,000  with an interest rate of  12 % per year

for 28 months ,the borrower only pays  interest of $ 1,800 a month and then after 28 months a lump sum of $ 18.000  must be  repaid 

this means that in these 28 months you will to have paid $50, 000  just in interest  and then to pay back more than the entire loan amount at once.

and this deal that I took as an example should also, according to the lawsuit, have been carried out with a false signature

after olof’s loan business ,the dyotu og olof begins as is much mbetter known.

and after olof’s loan business, the story of olof, who is considerably more well-known, begins

because he then starts working with robert escobar and starts escobar inc 

a company  which according  to him will work with managin the estate of the drug lord pablo escobar.

and olof has managed to do a bit of everything possible with escobar inc and basically everything is new types of scams.

he sold several different products such as flame throwers, different mobiles , books and he also launched his own esobar cryptocurrencies

but  if you bought a product from Escobar Inc and were not a big tick influencer then the chance was very  small that you would get any product

olof  seemedto only send the products to celebrities who in turn made reviews of the products and olof thus got free advertising.

and a fun thing about just  escobar mobiles like olof sold is that marques browniee a tech YouTuber with almost 20 million subscribers had his escobar mobile seized by the FBI

“i went  up to the front desk and sure enough there’s three people with badges there and they walk  right up to me and they all,like flash their badges, just  like  the movies, like  FBI agent and this IRS agent and like marquez good to see you we got some Questions for you about the escobar phone “

olof doesn’t just use Escobar inc to cheat people on products he also uses it to try to sue various people and companies that used escobar’s name 

the most famous is the lawsuit against  netflix due to the series narcos

olof demanded in the lawsuit a billion dollar  from netflix ,precisely the magical sum that olof several years earlier had as a dream limit

escibar inc and Netflix ,however ,chose to settle outsidee of a trial (according to olof ) and  how many  money  Netflix ultimately paid escobar inc is not  public.

olof sued Klara after  Klarna chose to withhold olof’s money from telephone sales as they  suspected early on that it was all a fraud  

even though olof’s story about Klarna’s decision to freeze the payment is that it was because they used scantily clad girls in in the marketing for example

Klarna themselves came out with a comment in Dagens Industri 

“but in general, it is the case that if a trader does not send an item  as agreed ,it should not affect a consumer who paid with Klarna ,that security is a central part of our offer”

incidentally, this was a lawsuit that Klarna eventually won and olof who again used his father’s company affideer AB to sell the mobiles went bankrupt after this as they had to pay damages of SEK 400,000.

so that’s about what olof managed to  accomplish business wise

 

but there is another story about olof

a story much more well documented

and that is not as easy for olof to sweep under the  carpet

namely the story of when at the end of  in 2020 ,he chose to become relevant again in sweden and  unlike his business,it was definitely something that he suceeded in

 

he appeared in various interviews and in various YouTube channels

these interviews got extremely many views  olof was undeniably an interesting character and  at this time also,not everyone knew he was a fraud

so to hear him talk about how he helped donald trump win the presidential election …….

….or how he had come in contact with pablo escobar’s brother was incredibly interesting.

the whole story that olof built about himself was interesting and it was also difficult to know what was true and not .

Anis Don Demina who was the first to take him on YouTube himself said this in his video .

“this guy w’re going to meet today  one hell of a special person one hell of a character and based on what i’ve heard about him before and what he’s told to me it soundds like everything he says  isn’t true ,everything  sounds like lies upon lies upon lies,in general he  sounds like a  stereotypical mythoman

but at the same time there are ferraris there are  rolls-royce things i’ve seen with my own eyes, pictures, videos, and itäs very hard to take in what ‘s true what’s not i can’t either  determine if he is a scammer or not or  what is shade and not what  is scam and  honestly i  have no idea.”

and an interesting detail in the video with anis is that olof  ends that video with a shoutout to joakim lundell

”  …and so third shoutout the last one is to jockiBoi  because you sweden’s craziest and because you are friends  with this lira”

-olof kGustafsson

but many thought that olof’a stories sounded too good to be true and that  was also ecactly what became his fall , because  it made people start doing reashearch to try to find out if it was really  true or not .

and pretty quickly you could find evidence  that olof seemed to be lying or exaggerating a lot of his story

 

after the interviews  he did with Anis Don Demina and  dialogic people reacted  to him answering the same questions differently

comments like :

“Anis   interviewed him someone who listened to both and hears that he says different things to the same  questions .”

“an enterprising entrepreneur’s mythomaniac, the guy is too smart for his own good and lives in his castle in the air for real”

“you notice very quickly that he is very sick myhomaniac and narcissist ,he does not dare stay at the question that is asked and answer it so he rolls on like a steam train in order not to be caught,sick guy,really hope he will get  help”

” empty barrels rattle mostly i was taught as youngster”

and it was perhaps  precisely because he began to be questioned and exposed as  a mythomaniac that a few months later olof went from a relatively calm attitude with anis and dialogic .

to now appear on Real Lokal ‘s channel with a completely different attitude because he started in that video to throw shit at everything and everyone

                               included  jan emanuel and joakim  lundell who he gave a shout out to a few months  earlier.

and that olof now started behaving like  a crap saying starting  things  for example he said that the only way to get laid in sweden was to get the girls  drunk ……

and this  was not directly in his favor ,the more people  he gave in in to and the more  sick stuff  he said the more people looked for proof on his lies and there was plenty to find.

it would  almost  be easier to make a list of things that olof  hasn’t lied about .

but to give some examples of olof’s mythomania he said when he was  both with anis and Dialogiskt that he became  a millionaire as 16- year old on his series of newspaper companies,  this was however quite easy to disprove by checking  his father’s  company’s books.

furthermore, olof has always beenzero -rated in sweden  he also said that, as you know  that klarna froze the payment because of  their  marketing, when actually because they suspeceted  fraud.

he gave local $10,000 which happened to be fake but which he claims was real………

he also shared a picture on instagram where he  bragged  that he had been invited to donal trump’s inauguration when  he became  president.

he did it by uploading pictures  of  his invitation card the problem for  olof was that every cards have individual numbers and the very ones that Olof had happened to have posted on Ebay before.

and there was much much more …..

bascally everything he said was either a  calm or gross exaggeration  and because he lied, said sick things and jumped on a lot  of people .

olof became very unpopular in  sweden

not least after he ,real lokal and el lobbo

made a video where they had a conversation with a women who accused jocke and jonna for sexual harassment

something that later turned out to be fake and the women in the conversation claimed to be tricked into lying about jocke and jonna

but olof in any case managed to become very relevant here , he was was  for a while sweden’s most googled person

and even SVT  chose to make a documentary about him.

but his relevance didn’t last very  long , people didn’t  appreaciate that he lied and behaved badly  

so  he went from getting well over half a million views per video he was in in the end didn’t even get over  100, 000 views in the end he was just known for being a mythomaniac and a fraud

and  the last time olof had any kind of relevance while he was still at large was when he  started arguing with joakim lundell’s brother chrippa in marbella

an argument that ruined olof’s image  even more because  he tried to present himself as a bit of a gangster but after the  argument with chrippa

olof sent a message where he says he has reported  chrippa to the police for that he hit El lobbo not  something a real gangster would have probably done

after this olof’s hype died completely his own social media didn’t even  manange to get over 10 ,000 followers

but then olof would become relevant again …..

but this  time  people were happy that he became relevant .

on  december 4, 2023 spanish police together with american authorities carried out   a raid on olof and his wife’s home in marbella.

and through olof’s wife,svetlana found out that he risked over 2000 years in prison

this  news hit like a bomb every newspaper wrote articles about it and you could read that that the reason for  arrest was that he was suspected of serious money laundering,smuggling ,fraud and document falsification

the smuggling was about him being suspected of participating  in a criminal organization that illegally trades in works of arts,among other things three picasso paintings are said to have been found in the tailgate of olof k Gustafsson’s car in france 2020 

and the  frauds for which he is suspected  are the hundreds of people who olof blew the whistle when he sold is escobar products.

 and after this arrest in spain olof managed to get in in touch with svenska dagbladet and he  thensaid that the  USA wants me and has requested my arrest through interpool they suspects me of 35  counts of international money laundering and 41  counts of money  laundering  the extraordinary thing is that the potential sentence is 2050 years in prison .

olof  also says that the US only wants to get to him because  he knows  where pablo escobar’s  old fortune is.

” they just wants to put me there because  i know where  more than 320 different bank accounts belong to pablo escobar’s fortne, i don’t want to be extradited to the US, sit there and rot and be forced to give up these details 

i’m pretty sure  sweden  won’t torture me for these numbers to pablo’s old bank accounts ,nobody wants to  give me 2050  years  because i might have committed fraud  or something like that . this  is politically charged, it’s about me sitting on this information .”

but olof had a few last aces up his sleeve to try  to avoid being extradited from spain to US. 

the first thing he tried was to report himself through swedish lawyer sebastian scheiman for serious fraud in sweden . but despite olof’s  confession  this investigation was closed

but  even though olof’s first plan to avoid the US failed , he tried a knew trick namely to sue the swedish  state and in this lavsuit it says a lot of sick stories  some are probably  just  from olof’s imagination .

it says,among other things that olof requests that he be handed over to sweden immediately because if he is not  , he risks ending up  in a so -called supermax prison without any possibility of parole

 and that  this would mean inhumane and degrading treatment and punishment and olof and his  lawyer believe that , in   addition to this ,there  is a risk that olof will be killed if he is extradited to United states meaning  that he is at a risk of dying

you can also   read  about a meeting that  olof  believes should have owned  aropund after olof  wanted to make a whistleblower claim after roberto had given him information about pablo’s old bank accounts

so  ,he wanted to report this to the  authorities and thus get to keep 30% of the money  himself and  at this meeting olof then  meant  that american authorities wanted olof  to become an  informant for the authorities and help them spy  on roberto escobar 

you can read  that after olof gustafsson gave an account of his life and some information about the escobar business  empire ,among other things,that there was 320 bank accounts and that 77 million dollars was the smallest and that he had company documents in his possession regarding companies in which roberto escobar and his sister figured demaded authorities that  he would be  an confidential informant to them .

you can also see the USA’s request for why they want Olof extradited that   it will be at the beginning of jul 2019 that olof together with others  started doing fraud and money laundering  connecting with purported consumer products they sold  by  escobar inc.

they write that the products that escobar inc will blow people with 

escobar flamethrower,escobar fold , escobar fold 2, escobar gold 11 pro and escobar cash

USA  also  show how they believe the money from the scam has been moved around to different bank accounts there are  several different from several different countries mentioned in the document

and there,and there are quite large sums that olof  moves around sometimes it is $ 10,000sometimes it is $ 20,000 sometimes it’s $42,000 and sometimes it’s even $307,000

i total it seems like 115 transfers which olof is supposed to have done between different banks .

you can also see approximately for how much in total olof is supposed to have sold products for.

the flamethrower ,they apparently have sold  236 pieces of which  is approximately $ 60,000 and for olof’s phone scams  escobar inc is supposed to have received 2955 orders to total value over 1,1 million dollars

so olof has definitely made some money on these scams, but  this lawsuit did not work for olof for the Stockholm district court rejected the request without even taking the lawsuit up for consideration

and  after sweden  neglected to take olof home even though spain gave sweden the chance…..

the spanish court has now decided that olof should  be extradited to the United States

but even this did not stop Olof from continuing to fight

because right when Spain approved the USA’s request for extradition, he applied for asylum in Spain and therefore he cannot be extradited to the USA right now

his lawyer told expressen that the extradition is paused pending  a decision on asylum issues 

but that Olof would succeed in getting asylum in Spain is not particularly likely

spain  has already approved the US’s request for estradition and they consider the US to be a fairly safe country

and olof has probably only managed to by himself  some time through the asylum application

and olof’s spanish  laywer said in a podcast that svenska dagbladet has ade that he thinks their  chances of actually succeeding in getting asylum is 3 %

olof also reportedly explained to the journalist who made this podcast that  it was after olof managed to find out  who  was behind an assassination  attempt on robert escobar that he found out about the money.

the story of how olof got access to these  documents is  just like so mich else  in his life almost improbable and impossible to verify 

olof says he managed to find out who was  behind an assassination attempt  on roberto escobar  in Medellín after that their relationship deepened and then roberto is said to have chose to give olof the great  trust and preserve the secret documents of the escobar  family

but in the lawsuit olof said that it was the lawsuit against netflix that  gave him accesss to the money

the lawsuit against netflix became however counterproductive as it made it more difficult for escobar inc to do business during the ongoing process

 on a vistit to  colombia in 2016  roberto escobar  offered to solve the problem  by telling olof K  Gustafsson about  the dtails regarding a swiss bank account with a balance of 77 million dollars 

this gave olof K  Gustafsson access to the money

so right now it seems in any case  that olof is staying in spain on borrowed time

his wife svetalana sometimes posts pictures on instagram where you can tell that she and their child have video calls with olof .

and  otherwise  you can see that olof wife and child  seem to be on the move constantly

while he is locked up and also risks being locked up for life  and  enver again get to meet them out in the freedom .

but despite this Olof does not seem to have regretted it
