Thanks to Bajan Citizen for producing relevant links to the latest story making the rounds about Mark Maloney being scammed out of US10 million dollars purported to be a payment for 1 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine on behalf of Barbados and two other governments.

The blogmaster has two questions:

  1. On what basis was Maloney’s company Radical Investments Ltd selected to broker this transaction.
  2. Is the government out of pocket because of the errant transaction.
  3. How does being out of pocket USD6.7 million affect Maloney’s financial state to continue to do business.

Mark Maloney Says $12M COVID Vaccine Deal Was A Scam
https://www.law360.com/commercialcontracts/articles/1422923/barbados-co-says-12m-covid-vaccine-deal-was-a-scam

The case is Radical Investments Ltd. v. Good Vibrations Entertainment LLC et al., case number 9:21-cv-81761, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida

Radical Investments Ltd. is a St Lucia registered company owned by Mark Maloney. 

He appears to have been swindled out of $6.7 millon USD from the governments of St Lucia, the Bahamas and Barbados who contributed money to buy COVID vaccines for their citizens.

“In April 2021, the Governments of Saint Lucia, The Bahamas and Barbados initiated a bulk purchase of AstraZeneca vaccines, as the minimum purchase from authorized suppliers was one million (1,000,000) vaccines.”
http://www.govt.lc/news/saint-lucia-s-efforts-to-secure-high-demand-covid-19-vaccines.

St Lucia contributed $7.3 million EC
https://www.caribbeannewsglobal.com/approval-of-direct-purchase-for-astrazeneca-radical-investments-ltd/

Mark Maloney is deputy chair of the private sector group put together last March to fundraise and acquire more vaccines.
https://barbadostoday.bb/2021/03/03/high-powered-group-ready-to-assist-with-vaccine-financing/

It is not clear what due dilligence Mr Maloney did before entering into this commercial arrangement with Good Vibrations Entertainment LLC. If you were looking to purchase pharmaceuticals would you do business with a company whith a name that connotes mechanical sexual services, and with an address at 21218 St Andrews Blvd Suite 318 that is a mailbox in a UPS store where 175 other fly by night companies also have their “headquarters”???

  3. There are certain contempt of court laws about commenting and publishing information about pending court cases as it can be deemed to be prejudicing or obstructing administration of justice and fair hearings, identifying witnesses and allegations about a defendants history can also be protected etc, which also apply to social media


  4. I’m pretty sure the GOB also owes Mark Maloney’s companies for work done and not paid, no different to multiple other companies.

    Now it would appear as though one of his companies owes the GOB.

    We’d like to know the balance on the account the GOB has with Mark Maloney’s various companies.

  6. so it is LOAN MONEY from the treasury borrowed in the people’s name the scammer was given to play pretend broker with and got scammed, when the government should have reached out directly to the vaccine manufacturers…

    keep pushing criminals to the front, it generates good stories to share…yall will then be watched even closer. EVERYWHERE..

    time for the electorate to take out la basura…

    hope the other islands learned their lesson, stay away from corrupt governments and their crooked minority partners….they are not legit and there is always a scam tied to them…


  7. There is a legal distinction between “Mark Maloney Scammed” and “Mark Maloney Allegedly Scammed” as the Court’s duty is to make it’s decision based on evidential considerations. Also, public allegations against a petitioner’s prior history is outside remit of Court case and could jeopardise his claim. A Court of Law has more balance and restrictions than a Court of Public Opinion.


  8. Well ! Well it looks like govt of Barbados used Maloney as a front man to purchase million of dollars of Astra Zenna vaccine from an nonexistent Bogus company
    But OSA had warned that Mia like cheap tricks and falls for deals head over heels
    The story is an embarrassment to the govt
    Barbados Today highlights the story naming the PM as knowing of the purchase by indicating that documents relating to the purchase was sent to the PM
    This story makes The waste to energy saga look like a Sunday walk in the park
    Boy uh tell yuh
    Truth like milk does not sour
    Freundel Stuart was right and so was Owen Arthur
    The front man Maloney the whipping boy of Mottley mouthings would have to take most of the bruising
    While the poor people of Barbados continue to suffer because of a govt who hoggish style of wanting to be in the spotlight first might cause the treasury millions


  9. Angela Cox…where is the barbadostoday article..can you post it?


  10. No, no! The Cahill stakes were much, much higher financially and environmentally.

    This is chicken feed by comparison.

  11. Vaccine hoax
    MALONEY- OWNED FIRM FILES LAWSUIT TO RECOVER MILLIONS
    By Kareem Smith
    An apparent deal surrounding the “purchase” of COVID-19 vaccines allegedly for the Barbados Government is at the crux of legal action recently filed in United States law courts involving millions of dollars and a well known Barbadian businessman.
    However, Minister of Health and Wellness Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Bostic has denied any dealings with, or knowledge of, the multi-million dollar operation intending to secure vaccines for use in Barbados. The legal papers name local, prominent businessman Mark Maloney as the one behind the intended purchase.
    Last Friday, Radical Investments Limited (RIL), a company formed in St Lucia with principal place of business in Barbados and whose principal is named as Maloney, filed a lawsuit claiming to have been “deceptively” lured into an “elaborate” US$10.2 million scam for one million “non-existent” doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine through Floridian company Good Vibrations.
    US court documents obtained by Barbados TODAY indicate that Radical Investments was “authorized” by Barbados’ Ministry of Health and Wellness to procure vaccines on its behalf, “for the purpose of vaccinating nearly 300,000 citizens of the island of Barbados”.
    The documents also claim that half a dozen defendants were involved in the massive scam that included the provision of false statements to the Prime Minister of Barbados.
    When contacted on Tuesday morning, however, Minister Bostic said: “I don’t know anything about this one” in response to numerous questions on the matter. Calls and messages to Minister in the Ministry of Finance Ryan Straughn went unanswered and efforts to reach Maloney were unsuccessful.
    Court documents from the West Palm Beach Division of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida however allege that a Trinidadian woman residing in the U.S by the name of Cheryl Chamley, convinced Maloney that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Good Vibrations, Alex Lee Moore “had the ability to secure COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by AstraZeneca which Moore would be able to source and deliver to RIL for the purpose of vaccinating the nearly 300,000 citizens of the island of Barbados”.
    The price for the vaccines was set at US$10.2 million. A commission of $2 million was to be paid to Good Vibrations upon delivery of the vaccines to RIL in Barbados.
    Moore then supplied documents purporting to be invoices from AstraZeneca, which was a necessary condition for the funds to be released and provided various reasons explaining why seemingly routine matters of due diligence, like the provision of account information for AstraZeneca, could not be fulfilled.
    “Moore ultimately produced two letters which purported to confirm that Moore and Good Vibrations had the capacity to enter into the transaction for the sale of AstraZeneca vaccines,” the correspondence added.
    One of the letters was allegedly from a DS Law Group and executed by a Charles Z Stein and cited contracts for the right to sell AstraZeneca, irrevocable purchase orders, and letters of attestation, as evidence that Good Vibrations had been involved in the medical supply and distribution business and had negotiated contracts to sell AstraZeneca products, the court document disclosed.
    Around April 27, the Barbadian company released US$10.2 million based on assurances received from Stein and court documents indicating that another company, Prestige Pegasus LLC was a “necessary intermediary” to facilitate the transaction.
    In direct contradiction to the agreement, Stein paid US$2 million to Prestige; US$4.2 to Good Vibrations and Moore as well as US$485,000 to a foreign freight company, RDS Cargo Group DWC LLC totalling US $6,685,000.
    According to the court file, on April 27, 2021, RIL’s attorney demanded wire transfer confirmation of the agreed US$10.2 million transaction to Prestige, which Stein was unable to provide, claiming that he did not print the confirmation page and was automatically logged out of the account after the transfer was completed.
    By late May, the vaccines still had not been provided and Moore allegedly informed Maloney that a company called Serum Pharma Ltd. could provide a confirmation letter to the Prime Minister of Barbados stating that AstraZeneca had been overwhelmed by orders, but would make the Barbados vaccines a top priority.
    “However, despite voluminous and repeated calls with the Ministry of Health in Barbados, between Moore, Coley and Serum Pharma, it became clear that neither Moore, nor Good Vibrations, Coley or Prestige had the legal capacity to enter into a contract to supply AstraZeneca vaccines, despite their insistence for months that they in fact would be able to deliver them,” the complaint added. Coley is said to be the principal of Prestige Brands.
    Serum Pharma, after reviewing correspondence between Moore and the Prime Minister later claimed they had “zero affiliation” with Moore or the purchase and sale agreement sent to Barbados’ Prime Minister and instead asked to contract directly with RIL.
    After failing to strike a deal with Serum, RIL then reached out to the British High Commission inquiring whether or not AstraZeneca had actually allocated 1,000,000 doses of vaccines to Barbados and whether or not Serum Pharma was legitimate. It was then that the British, after reportedly speaking directly with AstraZeneca, confirmed that not even Serum Pharma had a relationship with the vaccine manufacturer.
    “After this final setback, RIL made the decision to cease its quest to obtain vaccines and sought a return of the funds from Stein,” the court document added.
    “As of the date of filing of this Complaint, RIL has been returned approximately $5.4 million of its initial deposit, leaving approximately $6.7 million in arrears. RIL has been unable to obtain the funds transferred out of the IOLTA account by Stein. To be more specific, RIL has not returned funds distributed to Defendents Moore, Good Vibrations and Prestige/Coley. In addition, RIL has not been returned funds in the amount of $485,000.00 which were disbursed to RDS, a foreign shipping company.”
    Good Vibrations, Moore, Prestige, Coley, Stein, DS Law Group and RDS have all been named defendants in the RIL’s complaint and Maloney’s company is represented by Miamibased Attorney Gerardo Vazquez, Esq. of Vazquez and Associates.
    The unfolding suit has raised suspicion on the local political front.
    On Tuesday, President of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), Verla De Peiza declared that recent developments were causing alarm among “right-thinking” Barbadians.
    “We are calling on the Government of the day, in the interest of transparency, to explain, verify or deny… the breaking news coming out of the United States of America regarding a lawsuit by an agency company, fronted by businessman Mark Maloney on behalf of the Government of Barbados and involving millions of dollars lost in an alleged vaccine scam,” DePeiza declared.
    “If these stories are correct, then we need to have an explanation in the shortest possible time by the Government of Barbados,” the DLP president concluded.

    This nonsense is not funny. That is my taxpayer’s money these people wasting with there incompetence.

    Half that money could have bought ivermectin and hydroxychlorquine pills from India for the entire population and ended the pandemic.


  13. @Critical Analyzer September 22, 2021 7:17 AM “Half that money could have bought ivermectin and hydroxychlorquine pills from India for the entire population and ended the pandemic”

    If your statement is true, how come there are still 301,956 Indians sick with Covid19, and how come India had 1421 new cases yesterday?


  14. In Barbados we have a saying “one smart de’d at two smart door.”


  15. Thanks Angela..

    Someone just brought something else to my attention…that is when ya tread lightly on legal grounds, but the court will review all the evidence and decide…it’s not a court in Barbados or we would really need to worry…..

    “However, Minister of Health and Wellness Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Bostic has denied any dealings with, or knowledge of, the multi-million dollar operation intending to secure vaccines for use in Barbados.”

    and this also falls under treading lightly..

    “Maloney, filed a lawsuit claiming to have been “deceptively” lured into an “elaborate” US$10.2 million scam for one million “non-existent” doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine through Floridian company Good Vibrations.”

    it’s very important to remember these words..

    “It was then that the British, after reportedly speaking directly with AstraZeneca, confirmed that not even Serum Pharma had a relationship with the vaccine manufacturer.”

    commonsense DICTATES that as a government you go DIRECTLY TO THE MANUFACTURER…sans middle men, women and scam companies.


  16. This is the same govt which said it had no money to put in the suffering bajans hand which would have helped to stimulate the economy
    The huge amount of money related to this purchase begs the questions
    What did the govt know and when did the govt know about the purchase
    In my mind no private individual would not go about buying vaccine which could be of high risk to people’s health without govt knowing all.about the purchase
    Nothing here surprises me because OSA on several occasions exposed the ugly side of Mia Character descriptive of unethical
    This purchase which Mia would most undoubtedly try to resist the fall out is in no doubt the icing on a very big cake which is being headed for the USA court
    Danville Innis must be lol


  17. Has it been established that the money advanced was from the public purse?

    And even if it was, wouldn’t Baloney be on the hook for it?

    We are not a party to the lawsuit. I think that suggests something.

    So long as the virus is in the water we will never get rid of COVID.

    Here’s what the cases look like in India!!

    … and in Barbados!!

    https://imgur.com/assz8Fy

    Obviously India is doing something right!!


  21. here is the simple deduction..

    St. Lucia obviously put out the money, they said they did so following protocols…

    so would Bahamas….

    fly by night crooks do not put out money unless they can RESELL and benefit…this operation has no RESALE VALUE…

    maloney has no track record of helping the people of Barbados, only one of elaborate scams and TAKING….the bizzy “gimme” mentality…….

    = big loss of loan money….hope they get it back, if something else does not pop out during the proceedings…..to catspraddle them…


  22. Maloney chose the wrong team.

    Spock dead already, might have been COVID but who knows.


  23. Again for emphasis:

    fly by night crooks do not put out money unless they can RESELL and benefit…this operation has no RESALE VALUE…

    this was purely a SKIMMING from the top agenda….that blew back…..🤣🤣😂😂 and we can’t get Fowl Enuff ot give us the lowdown…he already disowned maloney, same one he told me off for on several occasions…lol..


  24. India has 15-16 % of its population fully vaccinated.


  25. @Barbados Today “After failing to strike a deal with Serum, RIL then reached out to the British High Commission inquiring whether or not AstraZeneca had actually allocated 1,000,000 doses of vaccines to Barbados and whether or not Serum Pharma was legitimate. It was then that the British, after reportedly speaking directly with AstraZeneca, confirmed that not even Serum Pharma had a relationship with the vaccine manufacturer.”

    QUESTION ELEVEN: So why seek verification from the British High Commission after and not BEFORE?


  26. Some people daft den!.. Asking after instead of BEFORE is like putting on a condom after ejaculation has occurred. Makes no sense whatsoever. Whatever happen, disease, unintended pregnancy dun happen already.


  27. just did some math….had forgotten it was 1 million doses…was trying to see if it was an investment to sell vaccines across the region….with skimming as the focus…..you decide based on population size and the 1 million order for doses…

    “According to the 2018 population census Saint Lucia has a population of 179,667. The estimated population of 2018 is 181,889

    Barbados 2020 population is estimated at 287,375 people at mid year

    The current population of Bahamas is 397,043 based on projections of the latest United Nations data. The UN estimates the July 1, 2021 population at 396,913.”

    If they has spent it on hydroxy and ivermectin, the money would not have been wasted at the very least some of the parasites inside you would have been killed and people with rheumatoid arthritis would have gotten some relief.

    And this I add where there is smoke there is fire

    The documents also claim that half a dozen defendants were involved in the massive scam that included the provision of false statements to the Prime Minister of Barbados
    Xxx
    The fact that PM might have knew about the deal would suggest she gave permission for the purchase by way of Maloney firm
    Xxxxxx
    Which now begs a question of why any paper document would have to be sent to the PM if Maloney was the sole purchaser absent of govt involvement


  31. Don’t forget the name of the company…..Radical Investments Ltd…..a name like that would cause my antennas to shoot straight up in the air and i would run….unless ya meet another crook company named…Good Vibrations Entertainment LLC aka when thieves meet…then ya run even faster…..lol


  32. Wouldn’t trust one smart or two smart.
    One smart might be smart enough to set-up the scam with two-smart and all the smarts get paid.


  33. @ WURA
    You will soon hear about comparisons with other bogus deals. The conversation will then be about who teef more ; who more corrupt and then it will degenerate into a Bee / Dee thing.
    Now note on this same BU Donville Inniss was called every single thing. WE determined that he was the worst thing ever and WE marveled at his downfall.
    Now, don’t get me wrong, Donville got the justice the courts determined he deserved.
    But read the same article(above) carefully: we are hearing about “ false documents” and the Minister of Health denying knowledge.
    So everybody will say they were scammed and then the Bees and Dees will start to spin : Cahill, Greenland, HARP, Donville, Chinese houses etc and this will just be another nine day wonder …….poof……
    It’s just a show.

    Good night that’s all for tonight see you next time.
    I always say you are an asset to this blog. Once more you proved it.

  34. “you will soon hear about comparisons with other bogus deals. The conversation will then be about who teef more ; who more corrupt and then it will degenerate into a Bee / Dee thing.”

    hopefully we may soon get something out of Mia’s big red back holding evidence of DLP corruption and shady contracts with maloney..et al

    “But read the same article(above) carefully: we are hearing about “ false documents” and the Minister of Health denying knowledge.”

    this should be even more reason to make sure this does not go unpunished…as long as they know that the case in Florida will not drag out for 10 or twenty YEARS…if that’s what they are hoping for, when they know that in 3-5 days their yardfowls will have no memory of it…..one way or the other it will end soon..


  35. When contacted on Tuesday morning, however, Minister Bostic said: “I don’t know anything about this one” in response to numerous questions on the matter.

  36. Hope the opposition lead by Joseph Atherley launched an open investigation to get to the root of this scandal and in the process investigate if or how much of the taxpayers money was used to purchase the vaccine
    This govt has not been transparent or truthful ..this time their hands has been caught in the cookie jar
    And it is rightful that the people know the naked truth


  37. TURD WORLD, black or white, especially governments are easy DUPE targets.

  40. William Skinner,

    Really? Despite the proven tendency towards misinformation?

    Eleven children in Jamaica died after taking the vaccine? Hasn’t been verified. Very damaging!

    One must be careful that in one’s haste to be “an asset” to the blog by being the first to break a story, one does not do more harm than good.

    Besides which, this Baloney news would have broken a day later. What really have we gained here? We are not a for profit newspaper.

    In my book, assets are offset against liabilities in the balance sheet. What is the net here?

    One must be careful not to cherry pick items because it suits one’s agenda.

    Now…. documents would have to be sent to Mia as an interested party in this matter. In this matter of life or death, she would need to know the status of the purchase and the authenticity of the merchandise. OBVIOUSLY, she could not sit back and wait in ignorance when speed and authenticity would have been of the essence. But… Baloney is suing, therefore Baloney is on the hook for the money.

    That does not mean there is nothing smelly on the government’s end.

    The mere fact that Baloney was in the sandwich is bad enough, considering that he was deemed rotten prior to May 25, 2018.

    And for Bostic to claim he knows nothing makes it even worse!

    He is Minister of Health, for chissake!

    Is this the straw that breaks the camel’s back?

    I am ready to hit the streets!


  41. Wait, long time wunnuh seh dat Mia runnin’ every show.

    How do we know that Bostic borrowed Pinocchio’s nose?

    The jury is still out on that.


  42. Are decisions being made unbeknownst to ministers? Barbados Today, September 11, 2021: “A leaked memorandum purported to be a Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. (BTMI) Board of Directors paper has identified a Canadian-German to take up the position of Chief Executive Officer of the tourism agency, with an annual salary of $240,000 and a package of allowances. But Minister of Tourism Senator Lisa Cummins has insisted that Government has not approved anyone for the top post at the BTMI.”


  43. JEALOUSY cannot stop this train…..which has already took flight and left many at the station..

    “owns the Weston Fire Station and why?”

    that’s how they do it…scam after scam….find a way to rip off the treasury, then claim government owes them, that scam stretches back to dried up old COW….then a property or land or somethingof valuable belonging to taxpayers is tranferred to their names…

    it’s a tired old scam……blue horizon valued at 11 million dollars where the dude Bougeanvilla offered to pay the 11 million,,,,, gone to the same crooks for 5 million dollars and was just recently identified as a quarantine hotel…still sucking on taxpayers…every few months the same scams raises it’s head.


  44. Waiting for a statement from the PM of Barbados.

    Former St Lucia Prime Minister Allen Chastenet confirmed on Tuesday that his administration had hired Radical Investments, operated by prominent local developer Mark Maloney, to procure the AstraZeneca vaccine as part of a regional bulk-purchasing arrangement between the Barbados, St Lucia and Bahamas governments.

    https://barbadostoday.bb/2021/09/22/no-radical-ties/


  45. We used to have a blogger on here called Due Diligence, we used to discourse on the fact that DBLP governments WILFULLY REFUSE to perform due diligence on anything where a scam can be successful…

    yes, first, as a governemnt, YOU CONTACT…reach out… to the manufacturers of AstraZeneca, even if you are looking at other sources for procurement….then ya run the names of the fake 3rd and 4th parties who are supposed to source the drugs…WITH THE ASTRAZENECA manufacturers to confirm if they are a subsidiary, or don’t exist in their database like these don’t, just to be on the safe side……how hard is that….only if ya running a side scam ya won’t move like that..

    but it will all come out in the wash..


  46. @ Donna

    ‘Funny enough, I was thinking the same thing myself.’

    I knew he was waiting patiently for an opportunity to ‘slip that in.’

    How has the lady proven she’s an asset to BU, when all she has done was to ‘copy and paste’ a news report from another source, to the forum, while giving the impression Barbados was the only island scammed.

    But, that’s Mr. Skinner’s opinion, which must be respected.

    RE: “And for Bostic to claim he knows nothing makes it even worse!”

    Reminds me of Ryan Straughn saying ‘government’ made a decision to discontinue payment of pensions to retired former National Assistance Board employees, and Minister of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs, Cynthia Forde, under whose Ministry NAB falls, CLAIMED she was not aware.

    And, to make matters worse, despite those senior citizens voicing their concerns via the media and call-in-programs, Forde has not made any attempts to address the issue.


  47. If i was maloney and this shit started to POUR DOWN, ya could not reach me either…lol

    but who gave Chastanent the testimonial that maloney is reputable…..now he knows he cant trust certain people…even Bostic is denying knowing any Radical Investments…..

    people are weak from laughter…..all the thieves were congregating, drawn like magnets…

    am yet to hear them say they contacted vaccine manufacturerer directly…and if not why not, unless there is limit to how much can be purchased, but then more reason to COMBINE RESOURCES and purchase the vaccines as a CARICOM UNIT…instead of engaging fly by night scamsters…

    “That arrangement is now the subject of a suit filed recently in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida by Radical Investments against Good Vibrations Entertainment LLC, the purported supplier of the vaccines and a number of other businesses and individuals involved in the attempt to purchase the vaccines. The order for the jabs was never fulfilled leaving the plaintiff millions of dollars out-of-pocket.

    But Minister of Health and Wellness Lt. Col. Jeffrey Bostic on Tuesday flatly denied knowing any such company.

    “I am afraid I do not know anything about Radical Investments Ltd so I cannot comment on this one,” Minister Bostic told Barbados TODAY in a very brief WhatsApp statement.

    But Chastenet, whose United Workers Party (UWP) was ousted from power at the polls on July 26 this year, said his former government entered the arrangement because Barbados and The Bahamas were taking part and because Radical Investments was a reputable business.

    “We worked through Radical. It was on the basis of the reputation of Radical and the fact that three countries were involved, Barbados, The Bahamas and St Lucia,” the ex-PM disclosed.

    Asked if Radical was a St Lucia or Barbados company Chastenet replied: “I’m not sure. I just know Mr Maloney.”

    The former PM said he did not know if Maloney owned or operated the company.

    Pressed as to whether Radical had a track record he declared: “They would have had a track record, yes.”

    “It was very difficult. They had many different people approaching us and due diligence was done. None of us could do it. Similar deals were being put together with the African groups. So many different groups that had come together. It took us a long time before we settled on a person. So getting a company involved with reputable people, that was a key factor and the fact that other countries in the region were also involved,” Chastenet told Barbados TODAY.

    The former St Lucia leader said up to the time of leaving office, the delivery of the vaccines was still pending.

    “I know we waited a very long time. Every week was another situation, and we just kept holding. Sadly in our case, we actually paid some money,” he complained.


  48. #allhandsondeck

    The challenge seems to be, with so many hands, the left doesn’t know what the right is doing, and vice versa.
    There is a one way flow of information.

  49. That’s why certain jurisdications are warned when these minorities from Barbados and the Caribbean FUELED by corrupt governments giving them testimonials…and approach them with proposals that they can do this and that…no they can’t, CHASE THEM AWAY they will take the money and THEN TRY TO SOURCE or OUTSOURCE to get results….by hiring 3rd, 4th, and 5th parites.

    ..this scam produced =”6 service Summons Issued Fri 09/17 2:58 PM”..a huge crowd,

    12 million US was not enuff money to share around…🤣🤣


  50. And for those who ain’t too bright…if maloney had purchased the drugs from his own pocket, then he would just be another supplier of pharmaceuticals and not a government agent…..taking money from them and representing in the procurment of vaccines…
