The San Francisco-area rapper who founded Cookies is being accused of using strong-arm and bullying tactics to run the popular cannabis brand, and forcing other companies to pay him and top executives millions of dollars in kickbacks to do business.Those who refuse to pay up, according to a pair of lawsuits filed in Los Angeles County court, face threats of physical violence or "slanderous blasts on social media," as well as the inability to do business with Cookies, which has sprung up more than 30 stores across the U.S.
