Surfkast? Is that you? I thought I recognize your all CAPS same old rant!
We can all read your past posts about what happened with this company 5-10 years ago but do you have any information from this decade?
I'm asking if anyone had CURRENT information about the stock ticker $SIGO. The good, the bad and the ugly. But please from at least 2020 and newer.
JOSEPHN WADE MEZEY REACTIVATED THIS SHELL SCAM BY

Joseph Wade’s Wife, Anastasia Shishova, Controlled Sunset Island Group.
SIGO withheld the relationship between its controlling officer at the time of the reverse-merger with Battle Mountain Genetics and Novus Group, LLC’s true owners, which included her husband, Joseph Wade.
Anastasia Shishova has been involved with two other penny stocks, including Buscar (OTC: CGLD) and Capall Stables (a shell with Joseph Wade as CEO), since 2012 . In May of 2016, a filing with Colorado’s Secretary of State indicates that she became the registered agent of SIGO. The first S-1 indicated that she was the sole executive officer:
On October 17, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement whereby the Company acquired 100% of Battle Mountain Genetics, Inc, in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of Sunset Island Group common stock. Immediately prior to the reverse merger, there were 30,894 common shares outstanding and no shares of Preferred shares outstanding and Anastasia Shishova was the sole officer/director. After the reverse merger, the Company had 50,031,771 Common shares outstanding…
There was no disclosure whatsoever that Shishova is Wade’s wife, but another company’s SEC filing suggests that is the case. This is from an 8-K for Buscar Holdings (OTC: CGLD) announcing its new CEO and sole Director, Anastasia Shishova:
The day to day operations of the stable are managed by our trainer with Joseph Wade (Mr. Wade is the husband of our CEO) as the licensed person for the stable. Ms. Shishova is currently in the process of becoming the licensed individual.
This is a material relationship not disclosed by SIGO with respect to the controlling shareholder of Novus Group, LLC, which was registering 99.9% of the float (4mm shares) for sale, being married to the company’s sole officer and director at the time of its acquisition of Battle Mountain Genetics and the exchange of shares.

Some great DD
Totally agree!
I've read that from their Quarterly filing but most of their statement are conflicting.
Like this one.
"...license transfers necessary to close the Asset Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, based on the remote likelihood of the Company closing this acquisition...,"
"As of the date of this filing, the conditions precedent to the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement remain in the process of implementation, so that the Asset Purchase Agreement closing has not yet occurred pursuant to its terms. Legal counsel for MCOA is currently in the process of working with VBF, Salinas Diversified Ventures, and the relevant state and local governments to effect the change of control and license transfers necessary to close the Asset Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, based on the remote likelihood of the Company closing this acquisition, the Company recognized a loss of $2,020,982 related to the preliminary fair value of the business that was recognized as an other current asset during the year ended December 31, 2021 when the Company assumed the convertible promissory notes from SIGO with St. George."
"It's also been over a year since MCOA was to purchase ALL outstanding shares as an asset purchase but haven't seen any information on that since.
Does anyone know if that plan is dead or alive?'
Read p.22 of MCOA's latest quarterly report. It hasn't been hidden from you.
These people are all shady.
Please let me know if anyone does find official information regarding the status of Sunset Island Group ($SIGO) stock and today's action. Maybe I'll become the moderator of this board just so the header can be updated with actual information about the company. Rather than looking like a headline from the National Enquirer or some Momma joke.
But this latest annual report was enough to get them upgraded from Expert Market to OTC Pink Limited today. Wild swings in the price today on low volume! (High for SIGO) Fun to watch - see where it lands once the dust settles.
It's also been over a year since MCOA was to purchase ALL outstanding shares as an asset purchase but haven't seen any information on that since.
Does anyone know if that plan is dead or alive?
They just took a second shot at the 10/31/21 Annual Report:
10/19/2022 Annual Report - Annual Report 10/31/2021
08/18/2022 Annual Report - Oct 31,2021 10/31/2021
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/SIGO/disclosure
Same old crap here. Still looking pretty dead to me.
$SIGO raising from the dead in time for Halloween?
right so I dont understand why they are not yet listed as Pink Limited per otcmarkets guidelines, buy I am trying to find out, right now they are listed as dark and defunct.
This news was posted on other boards, just not here. I think it was because Surfkast had such a choke-hold on this board. Unless he could turn into some revenge porn plot line featuring Mezey, he wasn't interested having it posted. God forbid actual news from this year gets posted here when you could rehash 2017 some more.
Anyway - not to say that SIGO is/has been a poster child for corporate governance, but it would be nice to focus on the here & now. And see what this agreement could mean to SIGO shareholders.
Discuss...
How did nobody post this back in December? This is huge news!
Bye, Bye losers! You were warned a long time ago!
All the losers have long departed. They were warned.
How does it feel to have lost your investment?
THIS IS AN INSIDER SCAM......
Ok. But could you add some of the current information about $SIGO on the header of this board along with your history of Lori? Not asking you to gloss anything over - but we do have current & verified information that would be helpful to shareholders.
Just saying...

yeah we need to clean that up. They are doing real business and are legally up to snuff. I mean just the permits alone I am sure they had to jump through hoops to get and maintain. Lets clean this up or at least go neutral. Lets get this thing moving, gotta really give these people a lot of credit, especially with covid, they made it through and are thriving. We just need some kind of press release to kick things off
Surfkast Any chance you're going to update the header of the $SIGO page to reflect the recent updated annual report & status to Pink Limited Information? Maybe a redirect to OTCMarket so people can do their own research. Or are you going to stick with the text about Mezey Mother?
Do your DD and decide.
wow literally as soon as I posted there was a flurry of buying and selling up to 20 cents. I wonder if I am right. I bought a ton around the 5 cent level back almost a year ago and people have been complaining a long time here but I always said, they have a friggin business which is NOT EASY to run necessarily and have succeeded. Lets see
I cant recall when to be honest, but yes it was never suspended. I did check in with Schwab and after pushing them to no end, I could not determine when, if ever, they would allow trading for SIGO, I simply dont understand these black boxes. This is ironic b/c Schwab always allowed buying, while Fidelity has restricted for ages, and now apparent reversal (Fidelity expected, Schwab not exptected) - Fidelity is allowing buy orders as of this morning when I tried. Anyway I can make funds free in Fidelity, the question is how much to spend, but I am pretty sure we will get a spike at one point if they put out news, which I think is actually possible now that they are "current" which has held them back from putting out news for years now.
When did trading stop? Brokerages may not have accepted orders, but this was never suspended.
Wow the company was able to file Annual reports for 2019 and 2020 on 9/21 (2 days ago) in order to become Pink Limited status, which I assume will mean trading will resume, maybe as early as tomorrow.
I do see the preferred shares which I never really knew about but going back on most recent filing before now they were indeed listed there - Series A Preferred.
Look at their instagram, it is as busy as could be, lets face it, if we were to go back on old posts here, I am sure you'll find accusation after accusation that they would never be able to get licenses and grow, but man, they have achieved that, there is absolutely no question about that.
Anyway, my take at this point is that the float is still a meager 5.4 million shares which is very reasonable. We may be able to get a nice spike if they can finally now put out news. The preferred shareholder along with note holders have NOT converted any of their shares. What this tells me is that they are patient, and eerily so, and I will force myself to do likewise. I now actually see the potential here of a rising stock price. If the stock can clear for trading, which I think it will, then I am a buyer down at say 7 cents, as soon as I have funds to buy.
Still Pink no information. Another Wade scam to be soon gone forever?
Still nothing after all these years!
I got completely out before 13th.
End Sep is all they got to get filings.
e
Still nothing. Tell Wade's Mother Lori Livacich to get off her fat ass.
Surprised to hear you actually owned SIGO shares at one time.
Was that BEFORE you knew this was going to be another JWM scam or after?
Just curious.
Front loaders and those in early made coin. I was finally able to dump my shares.
Yep, glad I listened to you
Was a scam back then too.
I remember when this was over $3.00 in January of 2018
Post a toilet paper link. It is worth more.
They are no longer an SEC reporting company. Wade's Mother filed a form 15 in the 16th.
As such they will need to follow the new guidelines for the OTC.

Correct, they've done a decent job of updating there for a company totally out of compliance, thats why I know they are viable, but they need to keep the financial part of the house in order, thats my only concern.
Lots of information on Instagram. #VBFBRANDS
I was able to get some off at 18 and 23. I think they will get thru the SEC related stuff someway, they may be negotiating with them, I'll need to look into it further
It's going down soon; they've got 3 months...
Glad I sold 85% mine when bid was .13

Nah, if they havent done anything by now with all the info fed to them by you and others, years and years already, then fagetaboutit, they're very likely clear, BUT they need to come current with filings, that is a concern as the SEC is shutting down companies. I know they are putting their profits back into the business, which is a good thing, but they need to get the house in order as well, sooner than later.
This is a Joseph Wade Mezey scam. I believe the SEC and the FEDS are building a multi year case.
Tons of verified complaints.
