The terrible twins are back in the news
GMR’s headline……MedMen’s Ex-CFO Is Backed Up In Court By Others…
GMR report…..Damning testimony continues in the MedMen (OTC: MMNFF) trial with former Chief Financial Officer James Parker. Law360 reported that additional MedMen former employees seemed to support the allegations made by Parker with regards to illegally moving cannabis across state lines and using toxic language. Parker claims he resigned over fears of committing illegal acts and the hostile work environment. MedMen argues that Parker left on his own and broke his employment contract. Parker is asking for millions in pay and stock that he feels is owed to him.
Crossing The Line
The most serious charges revolve around the accusations that MedMen moved cannabis from California to a cultivation facility in Nevada. Crossing state lines is illegal even if a state has legalized cannabis. According to Law360, Barry Fischetto, the company’s former chief operating officer said that he told Andrew Modlin, MedMen’s co-founder, and former president, that he “wasn’t going to jail for him” when asked about potentially moving cannabis plants to Nevada, and that Modlin was not happy about his answer.
Toxic Language
The report also stated that Fischetto “told the jury he was certain MenMen’s co-founder and former CEO Adam Bierman called Parker a “pussy” when Parker raised concerns about the company potentially breaking the law by accepting credit card payments at its cannabis dispensaries.”
“I was standing right next to him,” Fischetto said. He also said he heard Modlin use the word “retard” at least “a thousand times.”
