STOCKHOLM - A Swedish man, desolate after his wife filed for divorce, converted the family‘s shares and mutual funds into cash and burned the money — 700,000 crowns ($81,300) in banknotes, a newspaper reported on Thursday. „Bitterness is not uncommon in connection with divorces but it is almost unique that one of the spouses puts fire to all their wealth,“ Bengt Svensson, public prosecutor in the town of Jonkoping in southern Sweden, told the daily Aftonbladet.
