A Delta Junction couple accused of taking more than $700,000 from investors for a fake marijuana “Bud and Breakfast” business now faces federal charges.
Brian and Candy Corty were indicted by a federal grand jury in April on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
The couple purchased the Midway Lodge along the Richardson Highway near Delta Junction in 2018 and told investors they were opening it as a “Bud and Breakfast” that they described as a “marijuana theme park,” according to the indictment. They told investors the lodge would include glass ceilings for guests to watch the northern lights from bed, and it would also serve as a place to grow and sell marijuana, the indictment said.
“The defendants and their co-conspirators made these representations even though they knew Ice Fog had no meaningful current or prospective revenue stream and little to no prospect to obtain a license from the Alaska Marijuana Control Office,” the indictment said.As the Cortys began receiving investments, they used the money for personal expenses and lied to investors by telling them the funds were used to purchase products for the business or renovate the lodge, according to the affidavit.
