Time to stop warnings. Time to follow facts.
Speaking for myself, I'm done trying to caution folks regarding SIGO the company. Instead, I will continue doing DD on SIGO and posting relevant facts.
Also, perhaps the mullets here will take the info from one of their own?

Hope you know that it is illegal to receive information from a company that is not made available publicly. Its called "insider information".
I would never presume to seek that kind of info. Besides, I gave up trying to contact the company last year when they stopped responding to my e-mails.

What is the Expert Market?
OTC Markets Group currently operates the Expert Market as a distinct market tier for a small number of companies. However, on September 28th (edit: 2021) this market tier will expand to include a broader range of securities. Following the upcoming changes to Rule 15c2-11, companies that do not make current information publicly available under the rule will shift to the Expert Market.
Quotes in the Expert Market will be “Unsolicited Only.” This means broker-dealers may use the Expert Market to meet their Best Execution responsibilities under FINRA Rules and publish unsolicited quotes representing Limit Orders from retail and institutional investors who are not affiliates or insiders of the company.
Who can access the Expert Market?
Quotations in Expert Market securities are restricted from public viewing. Only broker-dealers and professional or sophisticated investors are permitted to view quotations in Expert Market securities.
Despite the restrictions on who can view quotations, the Expert Market does not impose restrictions on who can trade securities. Rule 15c2-11 governs a broker’s ability to submit, publish or distribute quotations (i.e. bids and offers) in OTC securities. The Rule does not apply to the underlying transactions or the ability of an investor to buy or sell a security.
Contact your broker for information concerning restrictions or qualifications for accessing Expert Market securities.
Why is the Expert Market Important?
The Expert Market offers a regulated trading venue where broker-dealers can satisfy their best-execution obligations. It offers insight into activity that would otherwise be hidden in the opaque Grey Market.
How is Expert Market different from the Grey Market?
The Grey Market is an opaque market where broker-dealers are not willing or able to publicly quote OTC securities given the lack of investor interest, company information or regulatory compliance.
Unlike the Grey Market – where this is no public quote at all – the Expert Market provides additional price transparency, as it allows for unsolicited quoting.
How are Companies affected by these Changes?
The answer to this depends on the market on which your securities trade. In order to be quoted by broker-dealers on the Pink Market, a company must provide current public disclosure on an ongoing basis. This may include disclosure provided via the SEC’s EDGAR filing system, through a non-U.S. stock exchange or regulator, or to OTC Markets Group directly via our OTCIQ platform. Companies that do not take the necessary steps to make current disclosure available pursuant to the Pink Current or Pink Limited Guidelines may migrate to the Expert Market. Visit the Information for Pink Companies section of our website for further details.
What are the Key Dates for the Implementation of Rule 15c2-11?
We have asked companies to provide the required disclosure to OTC Markets by June 30th. This request was to ensure that our Issuer Compliance Team had sufficient time to confirm the availability of current information and update market status for a company’s securities prior to the rule’s compliance date on September 28th. We continue to process disclosure requests received after June 30th, however we may not be able to process all such applications prior to September 28th.
Under new Rule 15c2-11, Securities that do not meet the Rule’s current public disclosure requirements will be removed from Pink as of the September deadline.
For more information on this rule and the steps your company need to take to comply, please reach out to sales@otcmarkets.com.

Warning! This security is eligible for Unsolicited Quotes Only
This stock is not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations. All quotes in this stock reflect unsolicited customer orders. Unsolicited-Only stocks have a higher risk of wider spreads, increased volatility, and price dislocations. Investors may have difficulty selling this stock. An initial review by a broker-dealer under SEC Rule15c2-11 is required for brokers to publish competing quotes and provide continuous market making.
Warning! This security is traded on the Expert Market
The Expert MarketSM serves broker-dealer pricing and investor best execution needs. Quotations in Expert Market securities are restricted from public viewing. OTC Markets Group may designate securities for quoting on the Expert Market when it is not able to confirm that the company is making current information publicly available under SEC Rule 15c2-11, or when the security is otherwise restricted from public quoting. See additional information about the Expert Market here.
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/SIGO/overview
Because of the restrictions imposed on securities quoted on the Expert Market, most investors will not be able to publicly sell their shares. Additionally, they will not have access to bid and ask prices or other information, including trading volume. As such, Expert Market shares are illiquid.

SIGO is crazy isn't it. Based on my research I have come to the following conclusions:
Joseph Wade Mezey originally acquired the shell from David J Cutler making it the 5th shell sold by Cutler to Wade or one of Wade's associates (NHMD, VTXB, SGBY, OPMZ are the others). Joseph Wade Mezey's control of the SIGO shell was never disclosed in any SEC filings.
Joseph Wade Mezey placed his wife, Anastasia Shishova, as the CEO of SIGO after the acquisition but it has never disclosed to the public by SIGO about their relationship
Joseph Wade Mezey assisted in setting up Battle Mountain Genetics Inc paying Cheyenne Moseley of Legal Zoom to register the entity in California (same service provider he used to set up Novus Group LLC in Wyoming) then placed two of his former employees and long time business associates (TJ Magallanes and Valerie Baugher) as the executives for the new entity
Joseph Wade Mezey secretly controlled Novus Group LLC (with his buddy Matt Billington) but lied to the SEC about his control becoming the owner of 4,000,000 free trading shares of SIGO for the cost of $11,000
Joseph Wade Mezey merged his Novus Group LLC company into his OPMZ shell but after he had already pocketed about $700,000 (after taxes) and his buddy Matt Billington had pocketed $174,441 (after taxes) from their SIGO share sales. As part of the Novus Group LLC/OPMZ merger, OPMZ agreed to pay Joseph Wade Mezey and Matt Billington $150,000/month in "consulting fees" from any money made by Novus Group LLC in the future. It should be noted that the new SIGO executives (TJ Magallanes and Valerie Baugher) were formerly both employees of OPMZ through OPMZ's one time wholly owned subsidiary Von Baron Farms.
Novus Group LLC made approximately $1,300,000 more from its SIGO share sales after the OPMZ acquisition. Consulting fees paid out to Mezey and his buddy Matt Billington from that $1.3m would have come out to over $800,000. But $305,700 of the money made from those share sales was used by Novus Group LLC/OPMZ/Wade to lend to SIGO to help fund the SIGO business operations. To date SIGO hasn't disclosed in any SEC filings who the lender is - once again hiding Joseph Wade Mezey's involvement. It also sounds sort of illegal to me for money made from SIGO shares sales to be funneled back to SIGO to pay for the SIGO business operations without that plan being disclosed as part of the registration statement used to make those shares free trading.
Joseph Wade Mezey owns the lease to the greenhouse space that was subleased to SIGO but his name was never disclosed to the SEC by SIGO.
That $305,700 SIGO borrowed from Novus Group LLC/OPMZ/Wade was turned into 305,700 Series B shares ($1/share) which were going to pay out a $200/lb dividend (from cannabis sales) each quarter to be split among all the Series B preferred share holders. Obviously the only Series B preferred share holder would have been Novus Group LLC/Joseph Wade Mezey. SIGO never disclosed the name of the lender/Series B preferred share owner in any SEC filings once again hiding a Joseph Wade Mezey affiliation to SIGO.
That $200/lb dividend would have resulted in $150,000/month going into the pockets of Joseph Wade Mezey and Matt Billington as consulting fees (per the agreement between Novus Group LLC/Joseph Wade Mezey and OPMZ/Joseph Wade Mezey) with the rest staying with OPMZ.
SIGO mentioned a plan to sell Series B preferred shares to the public at $1,000/share in an 8K through what I'm pretty sure would have been an illegal share offering since they weren't registered. That would have been 1000 times more than Novus Group LLC/Wade got their shares for giving the purchaser(s) such a tiny percentage of the split that it would have been ridiculous.
It is interesting that they cancelled those Series B shares. Obviously there will be no lawsuit by the lender since Joseph Wade Mezey controls everything on both sides. I wonder if Joseph Wade Mezey cancelled them because he realized that his little gig is close to being up. Even though he tried hard to hide his involvement in everything, people that know how to do research were still able to figure it out. Not like it was hard. Joseph Wade Mezey likes to use the same addresses, same business associates, and same service providers repeatedly. He even makes the mistake of putting his own name on documents which can be found if people know where to look.
Joseph Wade Mezey/Novus Group LLC still secretly owns $305,700 in debt in SIGO. I'm sure that will eventually somehow result in SIGO revenues going into the pockets of Joseph Wade Mezey per the consulting agreement Wade has with Novus Group LLC/OPMZ.
My guess is that Joseph Wade Mezey is also the biggest investor to date in the 20,000,000 share offering at $.10/share and that most (if not all) of the 640,000+ shares dumped into the market to date through that offering went through the hands of Joseph Wade Mezey.... all while Joseph Wade Mezey has continued to hide his multiple affiliations to SIGO from the SEC.
This is the type of stuff that leads to much more than just SEC litigation. This is the type of stuff that could lead to a Criminal Indictment.
It will be very interesting to see where things go from here. Joseph Wade Mezey has been walking a fine line for years with his many many tickers and companies (some of the worst being GYST, STHC, EMBR, CGLD, NHMD, and OPMZ). And let's not forget his debt settlement scam he did Laura L Hess and Jeffrey Campos that got him disbarred in 2010.
