Is on-again-off-again Pirate Bay deal off? Again?
p2pnet news view P2P:- It’s taking a while — a looooong while — to get confirmation of The Pirate Bay non-sale.
Almost since Day One p2pnet has been reporting the supposed acquisition of TPB by Sweden’s Global Gaming Factory (GGF) wasn’t going to happen.
However, it continued to be cited ad nauseam elsewhere as a virtual done deal with GGF boss Hans Pandeya’s proclamations that all was well quoted over and above the many signs that, in fact, it had begun to crumble almost from the moment P2P entrepreneur Wayne Rosso walked away from it.
Pandeya chose BitTorrent news site TorrentFreak as one of his primary means of communication and now, “To get the latest information about the upcoming deadline,” TorrentFreak says it’s been trying to contact Pandeya but, “thus far we haven`t received any response and his phone has been switched off.”
It goes on, “In addition to these dark signs, sources close to Resevella the company selling The Pirate Bay could not confirm that the promised money had been transferred or that an arrangement had been made to deliver `the goods`.”
What a surprise. 
“Based on these observations we think it`s safe to conclude that The Pirate Bay will not be sold to GGF, something that`s not really that much of a surprise considering all the financial troubles the company and its CEO have, not to mention the fact that GGF was recently thrown off the Swedish Stock exchange,” the story adds.
