Baruch Feldheim, 43, is facing charges of assault and making false statements to the feds on Sunday outside his Borough Park home where he allegedly peddled and stored massive amounts of N95 respirator masks, federal officials said.
Feldheim is also accused of price-gouging. On March 18, he’s suspected of selling a New Jersey doctor about 1,000 of the masks for $12,000, a markup of roughly 700 percent, authorities said.

The arrest comes after President Trump claimed that some medical supplies were being swiped from New York City hospitals, which Mayor Bill de Blasio dismissed as insulting.

Title should be: Brooklyn man arrested for hoarding masks, coughing on FBI agents
Sure would be sad if he died of internal bleeding. If you fall down frequently enough, that is a real risk. Clumsy price gouging little fella...
So how did he get them? Who on the inside helped him acquire the masks?
Trump proven right again........
Officer it fell off the back of a truck, I swear
Ah... New York City..,”Greatest city in the world...” /s
The President knows stuff, DeBlasio. Go up against him and you lose.
Was about this hoarder?
He’s not the only thieving crook doing the greedy deed. ScumRats—
“So how did he get them?”
****************************
Yes, inquiring minds REALLY want to know. He sure isn’t a “I can get it for you wholesale” type of guy.
I want AG Barr should be at the chinese virus task force briefing tomorrow to explain these indictments in detail and embarass the shit out of Cuomo and his idiot sidekick De Blasio.
As if NY didn’t suck already— these connivers need some serious punishment hopefully from the Federal level and not NY style let the criminals walk.
It's go time.
Good Democrat....
The perp is smart enough to acquire (legally or illegally) tens of thousands of masks. He might get sued for price gouging. And then the FBI shows up and he decides to plead guilty to a life sentence by deliberately ... coughing on them? Because he thought that would make them run away and he wouldn’t get sued?
I’ll wait for the bodycam before passing judgement.
The DB says Feldheim faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
By last Monday, Feldheim was operating from his Brooklyn home, offering to push surgical gowns to a nurse, the feds said.
Two days later, the suspected hoarder received a gigantic shipment to his home of about eight pallets of face masks.
FBI agents then staked out his his house, first noticing empty boxes of N95 masks outside.
On March 23, Feldheim allegedly offered to sell a nurse surgical gowns and directed the health care practitioner to his home in Brooklyn.
Two days later, Customs and Border Patrol records show that a truck from Canada delivered eight pallets of face masks to Solo Supplies.
Hasidic man hoards equipment that could help treat the very same Hasidic neighborhood he lives in and was hit hard by disease so he can run a little scam. I hope the jerk gets excommunicated and shunned (in addition to whatever criminal penalties await him).
Yes. Curious if you think that fact would change my comment.
