According to Messier’s claim, he is one of the greatest hockey players in history, former NY Rangers captain, 6X Stanley Cup winner, and among “the most famous celebrities in New York."
"His investment & endorsement would therefore give Destiny and Moroz instant credibility…”

Messier: “Moroz …represented that the investment was a sure thing—Messier could not lose money on it. Messier ultimately agreed to invest … but only on the condition that Moroz do more than tell him it was a sure thing."

Messier says that Moroz told him that Destiny Bioscience was a “sure thing” but it, in fact was far from it. Messier lost his full investment, and he wants it back.

Destiny is now in an incredible $42 Million of debt, so I’m not sure how they would compensate Mark Messier for his claims, but he’s willing to try build his case.

I’m no legal expert, but this seems like a dead-end lawsuit to me. Messier made a large investment, and it failed miserably. Nobody to blame but yourself here, Mark. It’s kind of crazy, too, because marijuana stock has been skyrocketing all around the world over the past year after it has been legalized in many different places.

I guess Mark Messier just invested in the wrong company. He’s a high-profile guy, I’m sure he can find a way to make some of that money back.
