This was just another one of the 'pop-up' companies that suddenly appeared all around Washington, mostly formed by ex-lobbyists or retired military officers who wanted to cash-in by acting as middle-men, charging 3 and 4 times the cost of something that all they do is place an order, which is drop-shipped to the buyer and then cashes the check for doing basically nothing. They do this because they have connections which they can leverage with people Jared and his crew of interns and sycophants.

Trump Administration Cancels $50 Million Mask Contract With Company That Doesn’t Make Masks
BREATH-TAKING
Jamie Ross Reporter
Updated May. 13, 2020

The federal government has canceled a $55 million contract for face masks that was signed last month with a small Virginia firm with no history in the mask business, The Washington Post reports.

The little-known defense company, Panthera, was reportedly contracted to provide 10 million N95 masks for the U.S. government’s coronavirus response—but failed to deliver, according to a FEMA spokeswoman.

One of the company’s executives, James Punelli, told the Post in mid-April that that the masks would be provided before May 1 “for certain, in full and with a very high-quality product.”

However, the company first requested a 10-day extension to May 11, then an additional four-day extension to May 15. FEMA denied the second request and moved to cancel the contract Tuesday, a day after the deadline.
