The Justice Department cracking down on people trying to make a profit of protective medical supplies during this pandemic. Investigative reporter brooks jarosz uncovered thousands of masks sitting in a warehouse that were sold to the highest bidder. Reporter a website that sells a variety of government surplus is facing a fierce battle over a pallet of in 95 respirator masks and they are all expired but still he did not stop them for being sold at a huge markup. On the front lines these are valuable resources and online there is money to be made. Pallets of and 95 respirators like this one auctioned off for thousands of dollars. In one auction there were two bidders from new jersey fighting back and forth trying to get this pallet of n95 masks. Mark lindquist was an air force veteran who wanted to help during the coronavirus pandemic and looked to buy masks to donate to the va hospital in phoenix. Everybodys first focus should be lets make sure that our people do not die. Spent which brought him here to this website that resells government surplus like a military 4 x 4 or this tanker truck and even a helicopter from the Pennsylvania State police or this 950,000 plane. But what he found was marked up surgical masks. I had to watch those three pallets of masks sit there and it tells me that the leaders are not trying hard enough quite honestly. Bidding started at florida at 11,500, . 67 a mask, and days of bidding wrapping up a d california and new jersey, sometimes minute by minute and the winning bid was new jersey at 26,900 for nearly 7700 respirators which is roughly 350 a mask. Someone in your hospital this past week. To make matters worse it was Government Agencies bidding against one another for what was originally Government Property and these masks were expired by many years but still better than no mask at all. I think it is ridiculous because all the hospitals right now are running low on supplies and we need them for patients and employees and staff. Go planet called it an isolated incident and blamed the private seller even though the Company Acted as the auctioneer but we found is the coronavirus outbreak grew so did sales and palace of respirators going for 6000 on january 28 and then 21,000 on march 10, jumping to that 26,900 on march 17. It is sad will hold materials and try to wait for somebody to buy it at a higher rate. Exactly one year ago a pallet of these n95 masks went for 250 dollars or just . 25 apiece. We are talking about people that are hoarding these goods and materials on an industrial scale for the purpose of manipulating the markets and ultimately driving windfall profits. Attorney general william barr explained President Trump signed an executive order to address hoarding and price gouging on scarce medical supplies. If you are sitting on a warehouse with masks, surgical masks, you will be hearing a knock on your door. Go planet says it is not under investigation in a spokesperson said the Company Took Action to remove n95 masks and medical supplies returning them to the federal government so they could get into the hands of health workers. We need to get these things moving and i as an american citizen and asking for our leaders to do things now. Get a plan. The plan says that go planet will be to identify any highpriority medical supplies and return them so they can get areas of need that we found ventilators like this, still for sale and the company insists it is taking additional steps to respond to the pandemic. Right now have people making masks and First Responders reusing them and auctions of respirators and surgical gloves have disappeared from that website and they have also removed all of the evidence we found of those n95 masks.
