Shortly after, information on how to donate money appeared on her website in Swedish and English. Some time between late August and early October 2012, more than a year before its expiration date, her website went offline without notice. Her profile in the Swedish organisation register allabolag.se was removed about the same time. The website returned after a few months, this time without the information on how to donate money.
