Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov.
We called the auditor.
He resigned in August.
That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks.

Trump has never had any kind of "strategy" for anything. The man is a puppet.
Trump not Biden Agreed to a May Ist exit from Afghanistan, and had no exit strategy.
Trump not Biden Refused to brief Biden's incoming team.
Trump not Biden Shut down every airbase in Afghanistan except one, crippling the US's ability to extract its assets safely.

Another of Trump's barbie doll lawyers removed from office. This time Alina Habba ruled unjustly appointed to New Jersey Prosecutor's office. It was Lindsey Halligan last week, now Habba. There are rules to these things that were put in place to check the office of the executive.

On this day 34 years ago, Ukrainians stood united and cast their votes in a historic referendum.
An overwhelming 90% voted for independence, breaking free from the Soviet Union and paving the way for a sovereign Ukraine.

Trump Spreads Fear. Daily. Why Does Fear Work So Well with a Right Wing Audience?
Five days later, and we still don’t know why the Afghan National shot two National Guard members in DC last Wednesday. But that hasn’t stopped the Trump administration from collective punishment - from banning all immigration from Afghanistan and other 3rd world countries. It’s a policy driven by fear.
