Didn't think I'd seen Corvain mentioned on HN. He's actually a great guy and a hell of an entrepreneur. Without trying to take any credit for his release my team was involved in the process of raising awareness of his incarceration for the last year and got deeply involved in bringing his cannabis brand to the California market. We've been early-celebrating all week about his pending release.
I'll also add that his crime was trafficking 37 tons. He wasn't the seller or buyer.
- tobmlt 6y agoCongrats! If only all inmates unjustly incarcerated could receive fair re-trials / pardons / relief / release depending on circumstances. There are so damn many people in need of justice in this way.
- crescentfresh 6y ago> bringing his cannabis brand to the California market Could you explain? I'm not following and when I search his story news articles said he opened a clothing store. What was his actual business and was it connected to cannabis?
- cannaceo 6y agoCorvain was imprisoned for trafficking and had no legitimate cannabis business at that time. Corvain's wife started 40tons with the help of a lot of industry folks in 2020. The effort was to bring cannabis revenue/profit back to support Corvain's two teenage daughters while he's incarcerated. That's the cannabis brand I'm referring to. https://40tons.co/about/ https://40tons.co/about/
- lultimouomo 6y ago> I'll also add that his crime was trafficking 37 tons. He wasn't the seller or buyer. Good for him that he was pardoned, but I find it sad that it's those 37tons that make the pardon unsurprising. I don't think he would ever be pardoned for trafficking 37 pounds.
