Trulieve files libel suit against Grizzly Research
Lawsuit filed
Trulieve filed a libel suit against Grizzly Research over a report that alleged the company overvalued its crops, rigged the political system to obtain its medical marijuana license, and failed to disclose ties to a federal corruption probe. Trulieve said the claims were false and misleading; the article notes that a complaint presents one side of a story.
Company response
Denial — Trulieve
Any notion that Trulieve rigged the political system is "absolutely false and we consider these statements libelous," it said in a statement.
Clarification — Trulieve
The company issued a four-page statement on its website that provides a point-by-point refutation of the Grizzly report, which provides the basis of the investor lawsuit claims.
Source excerpt
Any notion that Trulieve rigged the political system is "absolutely false and we consider these statements libelous," it said in a statement.
Trulieve filed a libel suit in Gadsden County Friday against Grizzly Research, a short-sell company that posted a scathing report about the state's largest purveyor of medical marijuana.
The Dec. 17 report alleged the company over-inflated the value of its crops, rigged the political system to get its medical marijuana license somehow, and failed to disclose ties to an ongoing federal corruption probe that involves the spouse of the company's CEO.
