I am an Icelander , but have been living in other countries for long time , so I have little to do with what has happened there. I did read the Lewis Article , and I see your comments about Mr. Alfsson.
Some stuff that Mr. Lewis forgot to mention , but of course that would have made the story much less juicy if he would have done that.
FACT #1 Stefan left the boat in year 2002 and started to work for multi nation company group. He was takeing care of production in China and in charge of planning of sales and production for USA and EU market .
FACT #2 Stefan spent 4 years learning Business Administration in the Iceland university
FACT # 3 Stefan special skills are mathimatic , very skillful in that , much more than normal people have.

But like I say , the story would not been ask fun if this would have been mentioned , right ?
