Tommy Chong and Paris Chong Being Sued

Tommy Chong, his son, Paris Chong, and their business associate, Jon Paul-Cowen are being sued by Evergreen Licensing, LLC.  Evergreen alleges that "cut them out of the profits generated from a marketing plan the plaintiffs established to sell marijuana products and accessories."

Evergreen spent $1 mill on the project.  They allege that Chong and Cowen conspired to "take it all away, even hacking into Evergreen’s Gmail account in order to misappropriate social media sites that plaintiffs created for the project.They cut plaintiffs entirely out of the picture, the project and the revenue and profits the project was going to generate and is generating.”

Jon Paul-Cowen has been the President of Chongson, Inc since 2013.  He's responsible for licensing the Tommy Chong brand.  Oddly, his linkedin profile doesn't show any related experience.

"Hello to all my friends and family! The time has finally come for Evergreen Licensing to start its social media presence to the world and would love and appreciate the support to share and like my company profile. For those that are not familiar with the company and what I have been doing, Ill take a moment to explain. I'm very ecstatic and proud to announce that Evergreen has acquired the rights to use Tommy Chongs name for the purpose of branding cannabis related products primarily in California. We plan to announce the major rollout shortly which will showcase all of our products. It has taken many years to get to this point and will take many more to create an everlasting brand that will live long past our grand children. Thank you again to all my friends and family that have supported me in my seemingly endless endeavors. And most of all thank you to the Chong family for believing and entrusting the Evergreen team to carry out this EPIC feat."

I wish a/k/a Tommy Chong, Josh Gilbert, was still alive.  He had a similar experience with Tommy.  In addition, Josh told us stories regarding agreements they had with other companies that they allegedly reneged on.  And when we owned our previous Cheech and Chong site, Paris and Shelby Chong wanted Paris' friend to hack the site.
