The founder appears to be a model-turned-employee for Jason Pirizzolo's medical marijuana organization.
"Records show that Greenberg also used an office credit card to pay $10,000 in late 2017 to Eric Foglesong, a longtime local political consultant...who pleaded guilty last year to grand theft.
Auditors described them as “unknown payments... for ‘community relations consulting.’”

"Foglesong was also one of the only donors last year to Jestine Iannotti, a woman who filed to run as an independent candidate in a Seminole and Volusia-based Senate district."

Office employees later told auditors that they weren’t sure what Ertel’s company was being paid for because 'he never did anything for us.'"
"Auditors also said they couldn’t determine what state Rep. Anthony Sabatini worked on ... when Greenberg paid him $7,500"
But
"Emails show ... Sabatini emailed Greenberg to provide a list of situations when tax collectors were forbidden from issuing new driver’s licenses."


"Emails show ... Sabatini emailed Greenberg to provide a list of situations when tax collectors were forbidden from issuing new driver’s licenses."
Also, this piece - also reported by gumshoe @reporterannie - revealed Greenberg often bcc'd his office correspondence to lobbyist Christ Dorworth - who offered VIP access to a Trump event:
“They will feed us all booze and give us a ride as well as an escort to our luxury boxes.”
