Republican fundraiser looks to cash in on coronavirus
Source: Politico
A longtime Republican fundraiser sent an email to his clients on Thursday abruptly announcing that he would no longer be working for them.
The fundraiser, Mike Gula, didnt specify his new line of work in the email. But in an interview, he said hed started a new company selling medical equipment thats been in short supply during the coronavirus pandemic.
The company, Blue Flame Medical LLC, was formed Monday in Delaware, according to state records. Its website says it sells coronavirus testing kits, N95 respirator masks, a wide selection of personal protective equipment and other hard to find medical supplies to beat the outbreak.
Asked how hed managed to procure such equipment when there are shortages in hospitals across the country, Gula said, I have relationships with a lot of people.

Don't you think we should all call and ask where they got the supplies?

(9,655 posts)That's what Real Americans do. Take care of each other. I don't understand the mindset of people who aren't like that. If I had even a minut amount of Jeff Bezos' money, I would be using it to purchase and donate every piece of equipment I could, to every hospital possible.

I would not put up any money upfront to these guys.
And check the merch before paying.
One recent shipment (not by them) was reported as moldy.
