Prosecutors in Minnesota have accused two former Vireo employees, a chief medical officer and a security officer, of smuggling three kilograms of THC oils in an armored vehicle to an affiliated dispensary in New York. According to a judge's order, the employees allegedly justified the December 2015 incident as a way to "rescue New York" from missing a key state-mandated deadline. The employees allegedly staged a cover-up. The plot was revealed by a Vireo whistle-blower.
