Fraudsters are always among the first to emerge after a disaster, manmade or natural...all looking to make a quick buck.

Covid19 has been a huge money maker. Think of all those Chinese made fake N95 masks that flooded the market early on.

Fraud is bad wherever it occurs. Glad this company got busted.

I know it's a cliche, but some people just have no shame.

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer, currently a candidate for mayor, has been crowing about this settlement.

Maybe he’s hoping that we’ve forgotten his part in the municipal utility fiasco where the settlement wasn’t bragging material.

A mere monetary fine is not enough. There should be jail time for that.

I wonder how much of a "flood" there would have been if Americans hadn't been importing and selling them?

Your comment is akin to complaining about "foreigners" buying up all the land WITHOUT mentioning that it is Americans who are selling it to them or complaining about "foreign street drugs" without mentioning that it is Americans who are importing, selling, and purchasing them.
