Alt5 Sigma’s Scandal: Trump-Linked Firm Under Fire for SEC Filing Fiasco!

by

Oh dear, Alt5 Sigma is back in the spotlight-and not for a good reason. The company is under fire after some rather questionable timelines in its SEC filings. The big issue? Their accountant just suddenly resigned-and it raises all sorts of eyebrow-raising questions about how and when they decided to tell the SEC about it. 🧐

  • Conflicting dates in Alt5 Sigma’s filings have made people wonder whether their auditor’s resignation was, well… a bit of a surprise (or a very poorly-timed secret?).
  • Management changes also appear to have some discrepancies that don’t add up-because who doesn’t love a little confusion in corporate governance? 🤷‍♀️
  • The company’s cozy relationship with Trump-linked World Liberty Financial is still casting a shadow over its operations, market reactions, and the general atmosphere of “everything’s fine, we swear.” 🙄

Now, let’s break it down: On Black Friday, Alt5 Sigma sent a note to the SEC saying it had just discovered on Nov. 21 that their independent accountant, William Hudgens, had resigned “effective immediately.” 🚨

But wait! Forbes actually uncovered something rather juicy on Dec. 1: Hudgens had told the company months before-specifically before June 30-that he was done with public company audits and wouldn’t do any work past the second quarter. His resignation wasn’t exactly a surprise… so why all the drama?

And here’s the kicker-Alt5 Sigma still hasn’t filed its third-quarter report. In a Nov. 12 filing, they blamed the delay on the “timeliness and responsiveness” of their accountant. But when asked who was reviewing their finances, Alt5 Sigma’s spokesperson clammed up like a clam at a seafood restaurant. 😬

Legal experts are raising eyebrows, saying that if there are inaccuracies in filings, Alt5 Sigma could be violating anti-fraud laws. Because nothing says “trustworthy company” like blatant delays and mismatched dates, right? 🙄

But Wait-There’s More! Executive Shuffle Drama 😱

Just when you thought things couldn’t get weirder, Alt5 Sigma also had some management drama. On Oct. 16, they announced that CEO Peter Tassiopoulos was suspended. But hold on-internal emails show he was already on “temporary leave” as of Sept. 4. Six weeks of hush-hush and a very late announcement? What a plot twist. 🕵️‍♀️

In case you’re wondering, Alt5 Sigma didn’t stop there. They also said goodbye to acting CEO and CFO Jonathan Hugh, ended COO Ron Pitters’ consulting gig, and waved farewell to director David Danziger. Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds like a lot of turnover for a company that just happens to have an accountant who ‘forgot’ to tell them about his resignation. 🙃

Trump Ties: The Cherry on Top 🍒

Remember how I mentioned Alt5 Sigma’s cozy ties with Trump-linked World Liberty Financial? Well, that relationship is, apparently, keeping things interesting. In August, Alt5 Sigma agreed to raise $1.5 billion to build up a treasure trove of WLFI tokens. No big deal, just a casual billionaire deal. 💰

Half of the deal was paid in WLFI, valued at $0.20 per token, and the other half was raised via stock offerings. But here’s where things get juicy: WLFI got its hooks into Alt5 Sigma’s boardroom. Zach Witkoff became chair, and, of course, Eric Trump and Zak Folkman were given director and observer roles. Talk about a family affair! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

But wait-Alt5 Sigma’s share price has taken a dive, dropping about 80% since the deal was announced. So much for that treasure chest of WLFI tokens-now worth a whole $1.1 billion on paper. Whoops. 🫣

Alt5 Sigma has yet to comment on any of these discrepancies, and regulators haven’t said anything either. So, will these filing fiascos cause even more problems? Stay tuned-this soap opera is far from over. 🍿
