- The Swedish IRS can claim whatever they want. They don't have access to the bank accounts on these islands, so how should they know if some of them are affilated to that company. - It is completely irrelevant if the TPB is making money or not. And I bet it does a hell lot, or otherwise they wouldn't been so keen to go to jail.

No offense, but sometimes people are willing to stand up and fight for what they believe in. Just because what they believe in is something that you disagree with doesn't make them any less willing to possibly sacrifice themselves for their cause.

I don't believe that the Middle East should be ruled over by Muslim 'overlords' that use the religion as a form of governance, but that doesn't mean that there are no suicide bombers out there willing to further that cause.

The Swedish IRS aren't making any claim. They just can't find any proof that the TPB has anything to do with the accused. And without proof, they don't.

What? That makes no sense what so ever. How does TPB's hypothetical revenue increase the chance that the accused own TPB?
