Polygon say you only retain 33.33% of the company while you say you only sold 15.5% ?

So is the breakdown something like :

33.33% = Fred Wester
30% = Spiltan investment bank
21.17% = Other paradox people
10.5% = Other IPO people
5 % = Tencent

?

I assume the 21% remainder is other paradox employees, but are there other people involved ?

Correct, just over 10% is with Rite Investment
 
Not a bad idea, not sure how it would work though

Through an online brokerage firm. Someone purchases a stock and you emails a print-screen confirmation of the stocks purchased to a specific PI email and includes their forum name. Then an admin manually sends you CD-key for a forum icon that allows a special avatar and forum access.

10 shares at 33 SEK each = $40.00 (Forum icon and avatar)
20 shares at 33 SEK each = $80.00 (Forum icon, avatar, and beta access)
30 shares at 33 SEK each = $120.00 (Forum icon, avatar, beta access, development forum access for input and direct communication with developers to improve game/new game)


In 3 months there will probably be enough share sales profit to start development on a new game up until it reaches late beta stage.
