Meanwhile, companies U.S. officials claim are controlled by Sharp also traded shares in a Canadian company called Emerald Health Therapeutics, once directed and controlled by Dr. Avtar Dhillon, who also faces criminal charges related to the scheme. The company is not named in any SEC documents, as the B.C. Securities Commission regulates it. Its subsidiary (and controlling entity) was co-founded by Dhillon's nephew Maheep Dhillon and his cousin Yadvinder Kallu, who was sentenced to nine years in a New York federal prison in 1999 after being caught running drugs and cash in Los Angeles. The directors initially sought a consulting agreement on behalf of the subsidiary to conduct cannabis research on a Richmond property, according to documents filed in B.C. Supreme Court. That same property, owned by Kallu family members, would be raided by RCMP and Delta police in October 2020. Police found 11,152 cannabis plants, plus illicit equipment, surveillance cameras, workers and a currency counting machine. In total, police say the operation was worth $18 million annually and was linked back to organized crime, specifically the Hells Angels and the UN Gang. Delta Police have yet to lay charges from the investigation and multiple property raids dubbed "Operation Rolling Thunder" and "Project Big Smoke." The U.S. Department of Justice has not been able to locate and serve Sharp. Meanwhile, Dhillon remains under house arrest in Long Beach, California.
