His 2001 documentary Buy Bye Beauty about the Swedish interference in Latvian sex industry, which included himself engaging in sexual intercourse with several prostitutes in Riga, was condemned by Latvian authorities for its contents and allegations about the proliferation of the country's sex industry following its independence. In his Unethical Pål Hollender, Hollender used a trust fund, denoting stock positions in dubious markets - such as guns, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and pornography - to commemorate holders as he handed out funds from this stock, as it yielded positive return on investment in 2008.
