Danish chef couple Flemming Hansen and Mette Helbæk, founders of the acclaimed Swedish eco-resort Stedsans, have fled to Guatemala, leaving behind 158 barrels of human waste and multiple dead animals. Their actions resulted in Stedsans' bankruptcy and significant debt to both Danish and Swedish tax authorities.
