NEW: US federal prosecutors have charged 2 men, a used car salesman and a pharmacist who dubbed himself “the Mask Man,” in separate schemes to inflate the prices of personal protective equipment used to guard against COVID-19.
Prosecutors say Schirripa kept the nearly 4,000 opioid pills in his possession, which were found in a safe in his home during a law enforcement search last month.
“As alleged, Richard Schirripa exploited an unprecedented crisis to engage in profiteering,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said in a statement.In a separate case, Ronald Romano, a used car salesman from New Jersey, is accused of purchasing large quantities of personal protective equipment in February with the intent to resell it at up to 500% mark-ups to the city of New York and the Florida Division of Emergency Management during the heart of the crisis in mid-March.
The feds should also look into stores like CVS selling individual masks for $2 each, and the gas stations charging $5 each. This is some bullshit predatory capitalism.
Members of Congress sold stock via insider trading and just got let off the hook. Maybe they should have become politicians.
But a hospital can charge $40 for a box of Kleenex and call it a mucus recovery system. The real crooks in healthcare, the American Hospital.
If only they could do the same for landlords smdh
So it’s ok when the government inflates the price with higher tax but when the small guy does it’s a crime
