Bridge Group is registered in the wealth paradise Belize in Mellanamerika. Former Trelleborgs-vd: n Kjell Nilsson have borne the role as counsellors to bridge Group. He has garanterat that the company does not break against the teams that forbid pyramidspel, states Sydsvenska the daily.
But Peter Alling, legal adviser on Lotteriinspektionen has looked on bridge Groups sets-up and denotes bridge Group as a pyramidspelsbolag. Which resulted in that Lotterinspektionen reported to the police bridge Group in order to the members only can serve money on medlemsvärvning.

Since we have most members in USA so can an USA stock exchange to be appropriate. But the comes we to decide in a latter stage.
Has you some plan B for the new issue about the becomes for struligt for bridge Group?
- yes, we have a row foreign investerare that is interested of makeacommitmentto. But the is poorer for ourselves pursues then sheep we in a big owner. The is a clear advantage for us at a future börsintroduktionom about we already before a big number owners.
Mindark has today 23 employees, of which ten works with development. The company beonthepointof to recruit additional five utvecklare and three persons to the market department. Monthly releases Mindark updating of Entropia.
