NY spent $69M on ventilators that never arrived
As per a report by Buzzfeed News, NY state paid more than $69 million for 1,450 ventilators that they never received. This comes after the state enlisted the help of a California man who responded to one of President Trump’s tweets. An engineer named Oren-Pines tweeted, ’We can supply ICU Ventilators, invasive and noninvasive. Have someone call me URGENT’. Officials say they recouped some money.
This really just makes Cuomo look like the incompetent Governor he is... How do you spend nearly $70M on ventilators from a person you found ON TWITTER... It's almost like NY Health didn't research at all. What a mess
Once again the corrupt socialist-commies party wastes millions due to laziness. Thypcal blue state ripping off another blue state. Silly cycle.
Including the Tweet in the heading seems in infer Trump caused the issue. Bad journalism.
Hope the guy gets indicted for fraud and serves time in jail and the length of time he serves depends on how much money was recovered, that will give him the incentive to return the remainder of the money he’s probably stashed in an off shore account. Another criminal grifter known to Trump.
Why do they make the stories so complicated with needless information. Just say that "stupid person in New York got scammed out of $69 milion for ventilators responding to a tweet"
As usual the trumpers here in the comments jump to conclusion, “The guy was recommended to us by the White House coronavirus task force because they were doing business with him, as well,” the official said. “I think everyone was genuinely trying to help each other out and get supplies.” There’s a little orange on your noses y’all...
69 million? Come on guys lol
Now that's smarts right there. The way to run a business for sure. Throw some more tax dollars their way as a reward while we're at it.
That's what happens when you shop with Wish.
Funny, Cuomo, and New York have never taken anything said by Trump or his people at face value. And yet, all of the sudden they're dropping $70 million On Trumps word without checking it out???
No actually named source VS. named verified source. And then there's BuzzFeed lol
When an entire state gets african Prince scammed.
I missed the part where that’s my problem.
Mr urgent is a good man. most would have sat on the information.
Anything connected to this swampy trump administration is shady. Trump's investments in chloroquine and his subsequent pushing of this drug, awarding contracts to make PPE to friends, e.t.c. smh. America needs a revolution. A bunch of criminals running this administration
How does one scam a state government out of millions so easy. How is it they are "scrambling" to get their money back. Sounds stinky to me.
Since when is buzzfeed a credible source?
Trump only trades with his buddies so all money will benefit those closest to him.
69... noice
Random guy replied to Trump tweet. Bad orange man guilty of something again "we know it. "
