We show that for any finitely presented group G, there is a simply connected closed 4-manifold containing an infinite family of topologically isotopic but smoothly inequivalent 2-links whose 2-link group is G. We also show that, if G satisfies the necessary topological conditions, these 2-links have nullhomotopic components.
