Tony ”Strider” Krvaric

In the 1980's, Tony ”Strider” Krvaric insisted on signing his Fairlight releases with the words ”kill a commie for your mommie”. That was a hint on where life would take him. In 1992, the infamous gaming pirate left Fairlight and emigrated to the USA. After becoming an American citizen, he entered politics and made a fast career in the Republican party. Today, Tony Krvaric is the chairman of the San Diego Republicans.

”After personally having experienced the disastrous effects of socialism in Sweden and Europe, he was determined to stand up for the traditional, conservative values that made America so successful,” is how the party web page summarizes his political standpoint.

In 2008, the news site The Raw Story revealed Krvaric's background in Fairlight under the headline ”San Diego GOP chairman founded international piracy ring”. Four years earlier, several members of the group he founded were arrested by the FBI during Operation Fastlink.

Today Tony Krvaric is unwilling to speak openly about his background, and he does not wish to be associated with it. The Fairlight anniversary celebration will be the first time in many years that he meets other members of the group, according to Pontus Berg.
