Senior members of the Teachers' Group often have an interesting
part-time occupation. They become directors of companies, or of money-making
'charities', all over the world. Wherever Tvind sets up shop, the same names
seem to occur - Tvind has created dozens of companies, in Europe, the United
States, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and especially in 'offshore' tax
havens such as the Channel Islands and the Caymans. This is something Tvind does
not disclose to new recruits.
These companies are often connected with land, property, farming, import-export,
the clothing trade or furniture, but Tvind appears to have moved into computers
and timber (including tropical hard wood) as well.
Here are the names of some concerns we know about, past and present. Some of
these may no longer function - Tvind likes to create shell companies and
regularly changes their names. We are not certain exactly what they all do, or
did.....please tell us if you know.
