THC Expo Turf War

Co-produced by Todd McCormick and Brian Roberts, last June’s THC Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center was a watershed event for cannabis commerce. Now the partners are openly fighting, the 2nd Annual THC Expo scheduled for April has been cancelled and Roberts is already promoting an event called THC Expose.

On Jan. 7, THCexpo tweeted: THE 2010 THC EXPO HAS BEEN CANCELED.”

THC Expo 2010Today, CelebStoner received the following tweet presumably from Roberts: THC EXPO IS NOT CLOSED DOWN. WE ARE ON AND WE ARE BIGGER THAN EVER. WE HAVE MORE COMPANIES THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR. THCEXPOSE IS STILL GOING ON IN APRIL AS PLANNED. JUST A LITTLE HIGH JACKING OF MY SITE BY TODD.

We emailed McCormick to find out what’s going on. He sent a personal reply, then edited that and sent the following letter to his website registrants:

Hello HEMPIRE Members!

I am writing you today to inform the community that I had to dissolve my partnership with Brian Roberts because as our bookkeeper I discovered that he had not paid people that worked for us six months ago. He misallocated our funds and paid for his personal properties without my consent.

Okay then. Via Shroomery News Service
