The company which specializes in cannabis products, was originally valued at $50 million, giving each minority investor a $5 million cut provided they deliver their end of the bargain. After months of deliberation, it was finally revealed that Brass Knuckles was actually worth well over $170 million, and Dre and Xzibit have allegedly done nothing to redistribute the pot.
The trio's attorney Larry Ecoff says his clients were essentially cast aside once Dre and Xzibit caught wind of the market increase, his catchline: "this case is all about greed and weed." Brass Knuckles is the same product line that was accused of lining their THC Concentrate Vape Cartridges with a known pesticide.
