California Attorney General v. [unnamed]

An unnamed suspect, an unlicensed retailer of cannabis, is facing felony charges for allegedly evading $7.1 million in taxes. The suspect allegedly operated numerous unlicensed cannabis dispensaries in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties between April 2019 and November 2022. During this period, the suspect appears to have failed to file sales tax returns and report approximately $80 million in sales, thereby evading approximately $7.1 million in sales tax to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). The charges include failure to file a sales tax return, engaging in business without a permit, money laundering, and white collar enhancements.
