Good Effin' Grief! Throw away the Key

Brooklyn man arrested for hoarding masks, coughing on FBI agents

<snip>
A Brooklyn man claiming to be infected with the coronavirus coughed on FBI agents who were investigating him for hoarding medical supplies, the US Attorney’s Office said Monday.

Baruch Feldheim, 43, is facing charges of assault and making false statements to the feds on Sunday outside his Borough Park home where he allegedly peddled and stored massive amounts of N95 respirator masks, federal officials said.

Feldheim is also accused of price-gouging. On March 18, he’s suspected of selling a New Jersey doctor about 1,000 of the masks for $12,000, a markup of roughly 700 percent, authorities said.

The accused fraudster also directed another doctor to an Irvington, NJ, auto repair shop to pick up another order. There, the doctor reported to investigators that Feldheim was allegedly hoarding enough medical supplies “to outfit an entire hospital.”

The materials included hand sanitizers, Clorox wipes, chemical cleaning agents and surgical supplies.

By last Monday, Feldheim was operating from his Brooklyn home, offering to push surgical gowns to a nurse, the feds said.

don't you see what the MAGAts will say?

"Feldhiem - that's one of them there Jews making a killin' - I knew they was behind this, always looking for a way to screw "us" over."

Pathetic - but you KNOW someone out there is spreading the "proof" that the supplies are "going out the back door."

Hasidic. I lived near large numbers of them in NY, and a lot of them think the laws don't apply to them.

Separately, the NYPD and New York City Police Foundation Announce the Purchase of 150,000 units each of masks, gloves and packets of hand sanitizer.

These resources cost $500,000 and are expected to ship in the coming days.
