Jay Pignatello was also CEO, president and also secretary for Hop-On at other times, and was also CEO of USACIG (another company Hop-On CEO Peter Michaels Secretly Controlled as president)

Looks like Jay Pignatello got a little crooked at Cannabiz.

Hop-On acquired USACIG (which Hop-On CEO and Jay Pignatello already controlled) with preferred shares, but failed to disclose that that company was already controlled by the same bad actors. Hop-On also touted "deals" with USACIG before that, without disclosing that Peter and Jay already controlled that entity.

I read the SEC complaint. The SEC has Pignatello's brokerage account records. I wonder if the investigation will bring new questions about his association with Hop-On's CEO Peter Michaels?

Seems like Peter Michaels' former lawyers, secretaries, and associates are dropping like flies. They are either being indicted or charged with securities violations by the SEC.
I know that Richard Weed was just convicted and is facing SEC charges. Their former attorney Joseph Piterra has also been indicted.
