fieldbears: theshadypenguin: “It was not my intent to clean a shelf that was not going to be refilled. That’s not who I am.” But that’s exactly who he is. He regrets it now because of the repercussions but this man really was trying to capitalize on people’s health concerns. He really tried to, and did, make it harder for people to get essential hygiene products during a national emergency. This man put people in danger to make a quick buck. This was evil. They really shouldn’t have brought his wife and kids into it but him? Fuck him. Saying he donated the hoard is a complete misrepresentation. First of all, what Matt Colvin had done and was doing was illegal. The KY AG opened an investigation for illegal price gouging. Matt wouldn’t answer the AG”s calls, so the AG located the storage unit where he had been keeping it all. It was at this point that the AG ‘facilitated the donation’. It is very clear that Matt Colvin was not intending to cooperate with the AG until he had no other choice (and likely faced arrest). Everyone: Price gouging limited supplies during a state of emergency is illegal. That includes individuals and businesses. If someone is charging 10x the normal cost of hand sanitizer, soap, toilet paper, anything that’s currently hard to find: you can report that to your state attorney general’s offices.
