TULSA, Okla. -
A Tulsa businessman blames several international companies for losing about $2 million of taxpayer money intended for PPE.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health sued Casey Bradford in January over the botched orders of N-95 masks during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In new court filings, Casey Bradford and his company, PPE Supplies, LLC, alleged it has been almost a year of waiting for third parties to pay them back.
Now, PPE Supplies, LLC, is suing those businesses in federal court.
According to court documents from the civil lawsuit, in March 2020, the State Health Department paid $2.1 million to PPE Supplies, LLC, in Tulsa.
