The founder and executive chairman of MSO Curaleaf Holdings Inc. Boris Jordan has responded to Twitter speculation that he and a key shareholder of the company have questionable ties to Russian companies and oligarchs, and the company could be subject to sanctions, clarified that he and Andrei Blokh are both American citizens, reports Benzinga.

“Curaleaf is an American success story founded by me! Pls stop spreading misinformation. I was born in the US and live and work in the US! Our shareholder Andrei Blokh is also a US citizen,” Jordan reportedly tweeted, adding the Curaleaf stock ticker hashtag. Shares of Curaleaf were trading down on Friday.

Elaborating to Benzinga, Jordan said, “US citizens, whether they hold other passports or not, are not subject to and cannot be subject to US economic sanctions. Curaleaf, as an American company, is also not subject to and cannot be subject to U.S. economic sanctions.”


The spokesperson added, “Our second largest shareholder is Andrei Blokh, a successful retired CPG entrepreneur who is not active in the company. Mr. Blokh is a US citizen, who also holds a Russian passport. The substantial majority of our shares are owned by the retail investor community and institutional investors.”
