A US-listed crypto venture tied to the Trump family is facing renewed scrutiny after it emerged that its newly appointed auditor is currently barred from issuing audit opinions, according to a report by the Financial Times.

Alt5 Sigma, a Nasdaq-listed fintech, recently adopted a crypto treasury strategy centred on tokens issued by World Liberty Financial, which is linked to the family of US President Donald Trump, according to the report. It named Victor Mokuolu CPA PLLC as its auditor earlier this month, the FT said, adding it reviewed filings showing the firm’s license to practise in Texas expired in August and has yet to be renewed, rendering it unable to carry out audit work under state regulations.

The finding adds pressure on Alt5 Sigma at a sensitive moment for the company, which is already facing a potential delisting after failing to file its quarterly financial results on time, the FT said.
