Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office announced Tuesday that entrepreneur Rami Alzandani would pay over $400,000 in fines for illegally selling marijuana at 11 stores.
The state of New York's Office of Cannabis Management has now issued more than 250 licenses for entrepreneurs to open storefronts to sell cannabis in all of its forms, including edibles, flowers and vapes.
Azandani must pay $103,000 in restitution to the state Department of Tax and Finance and must also forfeit an additional $300,000 in illegal proceeds, the district attorney's office said.
