Alt5 Sigma told regulators it learned in November its accountant had resigned, but the accountant says he stepped down three months earlier — a fresh discrepancy that marks the second apparently conflicting filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in recent weeks for the Trump-linked crypto firm.
Alt5 Sigma told the SEC on Black Friday its independent accountant, Hudgens CPA, PLLC, notified the company on Nov. 21 it was resigning “effective immediately” due to the retirement of its sole partner.
William Hudgens, the firm’s partner, told Forbes he informed Alt5 Sigma before June 30 he would step down after its second-quarter report, which was filed on Aug. 12, not because he was retiring but rather because his firm was getting out of the business of auditing public companies.
