PokerListingsVery sad to hear that he was shot. Very sad indeed esp. with his young son present. – RIP
This is really bad news!
Andreas was a pioneer and a brilliant entrepreneur in our industry. He will be missed. My prayers are with his family and friends. God bless the child.
Guys, it’s ok to put working links to places with current info on something… and also to put a quote that lets folks know what it’s all about….
This is really quite shocking. Apparently he was shot to death in his bed when visiting his hometown in Sweden…

Hi there
Firstly let me say how sorry I am to hear this news, I am truly saddened by this…
I used to run PartnerLogic and I had many, many dealings with Andreas. I would have counted him as one of my ‘friends’ in the industry. I spoke to him about babies shortly after his son was born and so on.
I don’t want to get on a high horse, but instead of speculate about the circumstances of his death, can we commemorate his life? He was a true pioneer of this industry, a great man and one of the good guys who always had time for everyone to share his wisdom and his great sense of humour
I believe that the industry has lost a real pro this week
