I have a different theory about how it would happen.
CRON is at around $21-22 USD per share.
They would give VRUS a lot of value.
Garnock took CRON to Nasdaq, now he is heavily invested in VRUS.
It would be a mutually beneficial merge/acquisition.
CRON deals with MJ and VRUS has distribution in Europe and Middle East which would be very beneficial to CRON from a distribution perspective. CBD is widely accepted world wide now and many European nations already buy MJ from Canada.
