I don’t think it would be unusual to not name names in this particular article since the hoarders are going to be innocent until proven guilty. Best not to name them at this time until you know for sure of what their intentions were. This will take an investigation. Get the stuff for now and investigate as you can.
DOJ has a website that may help you find out who was doing the hoarding.

Something is strange (to me).
My county has 10 cases (pop. 83K) of COVID confirmed.
At the onset of the “pandemic”, every store had a run on paper goods just like the rest of the nation.
The paper companies said that they weren’t going to shut-down, that they would preserve business as usual.
Since that initial “run”, the local shelves here have NEVER been re-stocked. Deliveries by distributors continued for meat, produce, frozen food and other normal groceries.
No paper.
Those who bought up as much paper as they could at the start (hoarders) aren’t still hoarding around here, are they? Don’t they perceive themselves as “comfy”?
So, why aren’t the chains (Meijer, Kroger, IGA) re-supplying us?
Can they not get paper products from their middle-men/distributors?
Why not?
Something just isn’t right...paper companies are still running at normal levels, buying “runs” are over (?) but shelves in this area are still bare.
