Not at that time. That came after the us government pushed the swedish government to do something and they in turn “strongly hinted” to the swedish judiciary system that they better do something.
And finally the sentencing judge socialised professionally with pro-copyright lobbyists.
I believe it was because he failed to return to Sweden to serve his Pirate Bay sentence and instead remained in Cambodia where he was living at the time. There was an international warrant out for his arrest and when he was deported back to Sweden he was judged at risk of flight or further “criminal activities”. He was removed from solitary after a few months, so I’m not sure if he was put back there for his later, longer sentence of hacking.
EDIT: He was later held in solitary confinement in Denmark for at least 10 months while awaiting trial for hacking.
Unfortunately, Swedish courts disagreed

It is quite interesting that American corporations harass everyone, not just us Americans.
I got together with the other Americans, and we’re cool of you all want to do something about them.
🎶 We’re all living in Amerika, America it’s wonder bra ;P

That’s like actually the next line though.
“Amerika, coco-cola, wonderbra”
Its the actual joke that they have all the same products.
Sometime waawwrrrrr
Yeah I wrote it that way on purpose, it’s a locale thing, that’s how we sing it here and it felt right for fun storytelling ;P
Nice bravado but he ultimately wasted years of his life in solitary confinement.
EDIT:
Maybe not years. Certainly months.Actually it was over a year when you add the reported stints together.Why was he in solitary?
