In May 2020 — during the height of the PPE shortage brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic — Guaravjit Singh tricked 10 New York City victims into buying about 1.5 million non-existent medical gowns for $7.1 million.
After the victims sent him a deposit, he started making excuses in order to justify why he wasn’t sending the desperately-needed equipment.
While he was lying to his customers, Singh used the money on personal expenses.
He pleaded guilty to wire fraud in September 2021, and now faces a 46-month prison sentence.
