The article discusses TV 4’s new miniseries “Golden Boys,” in which Adam Lundgren portrays the elusive Joachim Posener, the mastermind behind the 1997 Trustor scandal that saw an investment firm robbed of hundreds of millions of kronor. Inspired by journalist Gunnar Lindstedt’s book “Svindlande affärer,” director Ivica Zubak blends “The Jönsson League,” “Ocean’s Eleven,” and “The Wolf of Wall Street” to create a fast‑paced, party‑laden narrative that avoids glorifying the crime while highlighting the extravagant, absurd lifestyle of the perpetrators. Lundgren, drawn to the story after a radio documentary, says he wants viewers to feel both fascination and self‑disgust for empathising with the characters, noting Posener’s relentless drive for success, his brief public exposure, and his continued low profile. The piece also outlines key facts of the Trustor affair: Lord Moyne’s dubious share purchase, Posener’s unauthorized transfer of 620 million kronor, convictions and acquittals of accomplices, and the later Allra scandal, underscoring the lingering mix of disgust and intrigue the case still evokes.
