The conduct of Fast's directors has been the subject of much comment in Norway, with one director resigning and another making public statements about other directors and major shareholders. Fast's board member Robert Keith said in a newspaper interview, "I ought to have seen the problems in Fast earlier. And I ought to have understood that Hans Gude Gudesen is a crazy liar. Also, I ought have shot Oystein Stray Spetalen the first time I met him. That would have helped a lot of people, says the controversial Brit to the paper Finansavisen." Spetalen and Hans Gude Gudesen are both major shareholders in Fast. Furthermore, directors Keith and Fussel are allegedly being pursued by the Norwegian tax authorities for US$50M in unpaid taxes the government says it is owed by them. In the event of non payment liability may fall on the company.
