It's odd how they seem to make examples out of random people. The conference he was visiting was MJBizCon which is a pretty huge event. I follow a bunch of Canadian cannabis industry people on twitter and many of them were at it, including Calgary-based cannabis companies. It's weird that none of them got flagged.
I would assume that the reason is what was already suggested...the guy invested in American cannabis businesses which are only legal at a state level but still remain federally illegal.
