https://www.tipranks.com/news/trumps-1-5b-crypto-partner-rocked-by-sec-allegations-as-alt5-sigma-shares-plunge"Trump’s new crypto venture is already facing turbulence. Reports surfaced this week that Alt5 Sigma, a Nasdaq-listed company that committed $1.5 billion to Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI), is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The claims focus on alleged inflated earnings and questionable insider share sales. However, Alt5 Sigma quickly denied the allegations, calling the reports inaccurate.

According to The Information, the SEC is said to be looking into Alt5 Sigma’s president, Jon Isaac, over accusations that profits were inflated and shares were sold during a surge in price. This kind of activity can raise red flags, since it suggests insider trading or stock manipulation.
But the key point is that the SEC itself has not confirmed any investigation. There has been no official filing, lawsuit, or enforcement action announced. For now, the claims remain based on media reports rather than public records from regulators.
