Julio Jones, Roddy White Sued by Cannabis Company; Accused of Fraud, Money Laundering

Tennessee Titans star Julio Jones and former NFL wide receiver Roddy White are among the defendants being sued by a cannabis company over alleged fraud and money laundering, according to Ben Arthur of the Tennessean.

Genetixs is contending that Jones, White and others named in the suit have sold around $3 million per month in cannabis since March and kept the profits for themselves.

"Jones and White, who were teammates with the Falcons from 2011 to 2015, are accused of colluding with John Van Beek and his son, Shaun Van Beek, to run a black-market cannabis operation through the Genetixs facility," Arthur wrote.
