Have you read Remond's article yet? btw, I was the person who did the research that turned up the Berliner Freivekher connection. The GetShorty morons on the RB JGMHA thread couldn't research their way outta a paper bag.

How much do you know about Investrend? If you're not well informed, check 'em out. They're real bottom feeders.

The very same companies (or sometimes their sponsors) actively seeked a listing to peddle their shares to overseas investors to have the opportunity to sell stock with the exchange act not applicable.

Take Nanopierce which was listed at the Hamburg "High-Risk market" long before Berlin started to list foreign companies, that was in 2000 and before.

What ever their spin it is much like "our stock is down and we blame it on others". Since the "evil canadian" does appearently no longer exist there was evidently the need to create another scapegoat.

Remember, the Berlin exchange does not list foreign companies because they have funny names or a good looking CEOse, but rather because a "sponsor" applies for the listing. Guess what the sponsor is usually a private entity having an interest in the company listed and the trading facilities extended to resell the securities.
It could well be that a company director is not even aware of the listing (if the sponsor forgot to inform him) - but that doesn't matter, in the end.

Needless to say the pt public shareholder foots the bill for the millions in shares given to promoters etc. too often in sham option plans.
The regulators attacked the wrong enemy, again and decided not to interfere with the various ways to sell unregistered securities.
