A Miramichi father and son testified Friday at Daniel Bard’s fraud trial that they gave Bard more than $170,000 to invest when they were trying to start a medical marijuana business, but they never saw the money again.
After being delayed three days, the trial resumed in Moncton with testimony from the two men.
Bard, 60, is on trial on 19 charges, including fraud, theft and money laundering. Some of his alleged crimes date back to when he worked with 3+ Corp., a municipally funded development agency, and also had a side business called VM Venture Management.
Etienne Haché told the court his family owned a numbered company, also known as Acadian Marijuana Producers, or AMP, in 2018 with the goal of producing medical marijuana. Haché said he was president of AMP and responsible for leading operations.
