Can'tTrust (TRST-T) CEO Peter Aceto appeared in a promotional video filmed outside an unlicensed cannabis grow room at the company's Pelham, ON., facility in early 2019, according to a former employee who was present when the video was shot. The video, which was published by Canntrust's Youtube account on Feb. 27, shows Mr. Aceto chatting with a plant manager outside a room full of cannabis plants. The plants can be seen through what appears to be a plastic wall with metal hinges -- on one occasion, the production manager gestures toward the plants in the grow room to emphasize a point.
Five former employees who spoke to the Post identified the room in the video as RG8 or Range 8, noting that its plastic walls were a distinguishing feature. Three of those employees worked in the room as grow technicians between October, 2018, and April, 2019, the six-month period during which Canntrust has acknowledged it was cultivating unlicensed cannabis. Two of the employees saw the video being filmed in early 2019. There are questions as to whether Canntrust could lose its cultivation licence altogether. |
