Based on the financials posted on OTC Markets, INCT was using the alternative reporting method for 'a while' (using attorney letters to vouch for the financials); but Brenda Hamilton only came on board in 2024, with an attorney letter from her dated April 2024.
It looks like the "food" business that INCT was in didn't pay off, and INCT became a shell (but I haven't dug into it deeply to see what happened when). INCT doesn't look like it was ever revoked.
Under the mantra of 'business is business,' Hamilton sold her securities expertise to INCT and the My Pillow guy to effect the reverse merger.
Based on the April 2024 Attorney letter by Hamilton, the date range of "July to August" -- it if is meant to represent the start of Hamilton's involvement -- is inaccurate. She was involved with INCT in or before April 2024, for however much time it took for her to do the review that her Attorney Letter report.
The announcement says the new post-INCT company will change its ticker symbol and plans to up-list. I will agree that you are "just guessing" about things happening "super quick" with "strings [being] pulled with FINRA." Just guessing myself, I'd say the paperwork has been worked on and submitted long before this announcement was made.
