By Teri Buhl: Sol Global Investments and its chairman Andy DeFrancesco were recently named as defendants in a class action lawsuit  brought by shareholders in Canadian cannabis company Aphria. The lawsuit accuses DeFrancesco of self-dealing and hiding his true ownership of stock and assets that gave him a controlling interest in South American cannabis farms (called LatAM assets) that he benefited from when they were sold to Aphria at an extreme mark up price.
