Several months before Athena Assets, LLC sold 160 Ayer Road to MR3, Athena Assets received all of the unpaid back rent on Suite 4—the suite where your wife’s recreational cannabis shop was supposed to go.

One big check, Matthew, which, reportedly was “sixty-six thousand, no sixty-two thousand . . . it was in the sixties,” written out for all that unpaid rent.

Of course, I picture a check with your name and your wife’s name at the top, stacked over your address in town, but with so many zeros in the amount of that back rent and with a general awareness of your finances, I have a hard time picturing “Pay to the order of Athena Assets, LLC” some five-digit amount “in the sixties” with your wife’s signature or yours at the foot.

So, I ask, “You got a check from Christine and Matthew Nordhaus for that kind of money?”

Here’s the response I got:

“No, the check came from some law firm in Boston.”

That firm is Lawson & Weitzen.

Your wife’s all-things-cannabis lawyer is Blake Mensing of The Mensing Group—not Lawson & Weitzen.

Makes me wonder: “Who does Lawson & Weitzen represent?”

But more curiously, Matthew, I’d like to know why someone other than your wife would pay (at least) $60,000.00 in back her rent for her.

TTYS,
