A lot of people like him have offered help to various governments in getting product from China due to their connections.

This doesn't sound like a dude sitting on a warehouse of $2 masks scalping them to the government for $7. It sounds like a guy trying to leverage his connections to help out the state (whether the "help" was needed or a "good deal" is a different matter).

My company was serving as an intermediary to vet the numerous 3M distributors and to protect Florida taxpayers, while establishing escrow protections that allowed the State to conduct proper due diligence before finalizing its purchase of masks. Our system did exactly what it was intended to do. No money was spent and every penny of taxpayers money remained safe.

This doesn’t sound at all like the nefarious act the Miami Herald wants it to be. So people are supposed to be up-in-arms because he acted as a purchasing agent on behalf of the state?

It sounds to like 3M distributors tried to charge Florida $7 for masks, not Daymond John.
