A Bait-and-Switch Maneuver?
Rather than making amends, Haris and Carter allegedly attempted a pivot—proposing that Nectar hire them as managers of a new cannabis company called Canna Collective LOI, with each earning a $150,000 salary. But Nectar smelled smoke.
According to the lawsuit, Canna Collective LOI was only incorporated on July 10, 2023, months after the scheme had already unraveled. Nectar says the firm has no operational cannabis experience and suspects it was a hastily created front to buy time or leverage.
Nectar refused the offer—and after two years of unfruitful attempts to recover the funds, they’ve taken the matter to court.
Phantom Companies and Legal Haze
The suit also names Four Twenty Acquisitions LLC, allegedly run by Haris and Carter, as a defendant. Though presented in the deal as a licensed broker, Nectar now asserts the company didn’t legally exist when the contract was signed.
“This wasn’t just a breach. This was a blueprint for deception,” a source close to the case said.
So far, Haris has not responded to comment requests, and Carter could not be reached.
JJN Holdings is being represented by Bryna Dahlin and Juan Andrés Mata of Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff LLP. Legal representation for the defendants has not been made public at this time.
