A spokesperson said Fried hasn’t had any involvement in the company’s day-to-day operations, though she has helped finance a shareholder lawsuit related to the terms of Harvest’s 2018 acquisition of San Felasco. And Harvest is now being acquired by Trulieve Inc., Florida’s largest marijuana company, in a $2.1 billion, all-stock deal. If the deal goes through, Fried would become a Trulieve shareholder.
