Appearance in the Swedish news

On Friday the 12th of September there was an article in Sweden about the Swedish nationalist party leader Jimmie Åkesson being a notorious gambler. I noticed that although the journalists claimed they had bank card records, nothing in their reveal proved that. Instead everything in their reveal proved to me that the bank card reference only was a diversion and that a gambling company was the source.

I contacted Sweden's largest daily news paper who initially didn't believe me but after speaking to another IT-security expert accepted my claims and wrote an article about it.

Translation of my parts
"According to IT-security expert Siavosh Zarrasvand, who has experience working for both gaming companies and banks, the latter lack the ability to track which employee have accessed what information.
- Their systems aren't built for that and it is harder to tie a specific person to a specific lookup the way banks can do it. I have even been contacted by gaming companies who needed custom keyloggers to monitor the activity of some of their employees.
Both Siavosh Zarrasvand and Kalle Zetterlund point to the fact that revelations regarding the nationalist party leaders gaming habits cannot be known through bank transfer slips but must have come from the gaming companies."
