First there was TasCann which was founded by Troy, Nevil and 2 others. It existed very briefly (on paper) before being bought out by AusCann.
It never brought in any money, otherwise Troy wouldn't have had to create the Go Fund Me acct for Nevil's Hep C treatment, so I assume that Nevil was broke at that time if he couldn't afford treatment.
Nevil's involvement with TasCann/AusCann only lasted for about 3 mos. before he was no longer listed on their site.
I emailed AusCann's Dr. Elaine Darby at the time (Dr. Mel Washers daughter) to inquire and got this response:

Dear xxxx,
Thank you for your email.
This web page appears to have been overlooked! The website managers are now
looking into this.
AusCann's licence to produce medicinal cannabis on Norfolk Island is under
review by the Commonwealth. This unfortunately has put AusCann's proposed
Norfolk Island plans on hold. Given the project is on hold and there is
uncertainty on when the project may resume Troy and Nevil are not currently
providing consulting services to AusCann.
Hopefully we will have an outcome to the licence review shortly.
Kind regards

Nevil was never again listed as consultant or part of the company on the website.
So fast forward to 2018 and the Green Rush news report and Dr. Darby is telling a different story (abt 17:30 in) than the one reported to Hempy. Dr. Darby says that Nevil was given the 14 million shares in exchange for his expertise and seed collection (which they never got because it no longer existed per DS) and that he was #3 shareholder in AusCann and his shares were valued at 30 million (in 2018).
........... hmm, well if he was too broke in 2014 to afford the Hep C treatment but had a potential $30 million for 3 mos. work (which he never performed) by 2018 then maybe he was smarter or, more likely, just grifted another one of his many partners maybe?
The go fund me page was done out of differing circumstances...im not sure nevil or his family were aware of it wen it went live which is why it was pulled so quickly..but at the time the Australian government were saying the treatment to the specific illness were costing thousands of thousands of dollars per round...nevil actually found out large figures were going to the government taxes and addmin and importation fees and the treatment its self was worth very little...along with a friend they worked out a way of getting separate substances into the country...were they could make the treatment themselves costing very very little per round...this way nevil was able to treat himself for a short time..till every thing else cought up with him.
regarding the genetics...if the companies had finalised the paperwork nevils genetics would have been used exclusively under their banner in the legal world...but I dont think there was a simple transaction for plants and seeds....also some of the genetics were put together re collected from old lines...eg ortegas lines, the old 97 nevils haze and the super5 coming from nl5 ibl x skunk...as well as others.
