Summary
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong sued MAKECTBETTER LLC, its principal and an affiliate in Hartford Superior Court, announcing it on 28 July 2025. The complaint, filed 3 July, alleges a cannabis license-for-sale scheme that drew payments from as many as 70 businesses.
According to the AG, the defendants told retailers they were part of a fictional state pilot program that could issue exclusive licenses and cannabis supply, backed by documents forged to look like Department of Consumer Protection papers signed by an official in the AG's office. The complaint cites fees of roughly $25,000 to $30,500 per retailer and names three retailers. The AG sought a $2.5 million prejudgment remedy to freeze assets. These are allegations in a civil complaint.
