Johan Schlüter is (was!) a Danish lawyer whose firm contracted with the Antipiratgruppen (an entertainment industry group now called RettighedsAlliancen, whose members include the MPAA) to run legal campaigns against file-sharing services and their users.Schlüter's entertainment industry credentials were impeccable -- he had once served as director general of IFPI, the international umbrella group for the record industry, whose members include the RIAA. In 2015, an audit revealed that Schlüter and his colleagues at the firm had stolen some $15.83 million from their clients.A Danish court has handed down sentences in the fraud: Schlüter has been sentenced to four years, Susanne Fryland has been sentenced to five and a half years, and Lars Halgreen, a peripheral accomplice, has been conditionally sentenced to nine months.
