Billionaire William “Beau” Wrigley Jr, heir to the Wrigley chewing gum fortune, is in a court battle over a failed deal with vertically-integrated marijuana company Parallel to buy six Chicago cannabis companies.
Wrigley is already facing lawsuits over another failed deal – Parallel’s initial public offering via an announced billion-dollar merger with Ceres Acquisition Corp (OTCQX:CERAF). At the time, Wrigley was the CEO of the cannabis company Parallel.
