*deep sigh* a Brooklyn man is currently in deep trouble with the FBI after he claimed to be infected with the Coronavirus, proceeding to cough on an FBI agent. According to the U.S Attorney's Office authorities confront 43 year old Baruch Feldheim on Monday due to reports of him price gouging medical supplies, as he held them in his room and were peddling them to medical workers. It was when he was confronted that he claimed he had the virus and proceeded to cough on the agents:
"When the agents were within four to five feet of him, Feldheim allegedly coughed in their direction without covering his mouth, The agents then told him that they were looking for certain PPE materials and that they had information that Feldheim was in possession of large quantities of such materials. At that point, Feldheim told the FBI agents that that he had the coronavirus."
After this Feldheim was charged with making false statement to authorities and assault and could face one to five years in prison.
