Meanwhile Congress members sold stock before the crash with insider knowledge of exact timing and got rich off the pandemic crisis.

Haha so he lost all of his “investment” and now he’s in trouble with the authorities. Hope he goes to prison.

I payed 25 euro for one on eBay rip off eBay and Amazon should be responsible for not monitoring and stopping this abuse.

[brucecarter]

it's only legal for corporations to do this, not private citizens

[t_money_third]

He must have been planning to open his own hospital You guys crushed his dreams

[stormes]

This happened few days back not today. How about the medical bills??? Hospitals are charging thousands of $ with or without coronavirus and no action

[SolarFlare]

So.. this is ridiculous.. and I don't feel bad for the guy at all.. but one thing I'd like to know.. did the guy who had all this stuff obtain it legally? If so.. then isn't the government pretty much stealing from him?

[hippomom]

What is wrong with people??? EVIL HEARTS MAKE EVIL ACTIONS, I GUESS.

[ionly]

How is this legal???? So it's illegal to hoard goods He seems like a good business man

[brucetarzan]

How much you think the government is making off this dude he paid taxes for all of that and now they're gonna turn around and sell it again.... They say they're giving it to New York blah blah when really they mean they're taxing New York and New Jersey for all this equipment for double the tax amount.

[je]

What about the gouging prices in the stores? Did anyone notice that?

[dullahan]

This guy prepared even before the officials did. Just food for thought.

[utcougar]

It’s a great idea and more important for frontline healthcare workers but is it legal to confiscate someone’s personal belongings if they paid for it? Sure his intent was to sell so they weren’t so personal and it’s morally wrong but whoever this douche hoarder is can also make an argument for himself. That means they can take anything and at any time from anyone.

[VIi]

I bet that person has a strong moral compass..

[KAdventures]

I’m glad these supplies will help save lives and not to make a quick buck.

[MrArtVein]

Didn't another news service announce the military airlifting NYC the same number of supplies from China earlier this week? 🤔🤔🤔
