This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
ALT 5 Sigma Canada Inc., a subsidiary of ALT5 Sigma Corporation, was convicted in May 2025 by a Rwandan Intermediate Court of illicit enrichment and money laundering. The court ordered $3.5 million in asset confiscation and imprisonment of former subsidiary principal Andre Beauchesne. ALT5 Sigma disclosed the judgment only in August 2025, weeks after completing a $1.5 billion registered offering, raising questions about whether material information was withheld from investors. The company's board appointed an independent committee to investigate potential misstatements in financial filings. CEO Peter Tassiopoulos was suspended in October 2025. The company's auditor, Hudgens, resigned in November 2025. Multiple securities law firms launched investor fraud investigations.
ALT5 Sigma Corporation faces multiple securities fraud investigations following a cascade of governance failures in late 2025. The company's auditor, William Hudgens, resigned effective November 21, 2025, but ALT5 delayed disclosure to investors until a November 28 Form 8-K filing despite receiving notice months earlier. The CEO and CFO were terminated, and the Audit Committee Chair resigned effective November 25, 2025. ALT5's failure to timely file its Q3 report triggered a Nasdaq Non-Compliance Notice on December 2, 2025. Hagens Berman and Kirby McInerney LLP launched investigations into potential securities fraud, alleging the company misled investors about the stability of its financial reporting and internal controls, particularly around its August 2025 $1.5 billion registered offering. A subsidiary also faces a criminal judgment for illicit enrichment and money laundering.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
