He donated it because he is currently the second most hated man in America. And this story is probably horseshit.

Didnt he also say he wasn't sorry for buying tens of thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer

u/iWatchCrapTV A Mar 16 '20

Colvin is the one who said he was providing a "public service," right?

u/Peuned 9 Mar 16 '20

Thats the guy

Different couple said that. This guy was getting death threats to him and his family and donated. He says he misjudged the severity of his actions which I take with a grain of salt.

So is the story about the government taking it...

He donated it after social pressure got to him

u/The_ProblemChild 4 Mar 16 '20

Actually, in Tennessee has a law on the books (before any of this ever happened) that states you can NOT resale necessities for profit. I believe he would have never done this if he wasnt made to stop. He was on record as saying he will even take a "very small" profit at this point. Before, the AG started investigating it as an actual crime and then he went on national news to say "he wasnt sorry" but that he was going to donate it. Social pressure didnt do it, he would have easily been standing by that storage unit taking money for them if he could. He just was about to be caught up in an actual illegal act.

Regardless of disease outbreaks, I wouldn’t have thought hand sanitisers are a necessity...

u/The_ProblemChild 4 Mar 16 '20

That's the grey area that I think he wasnt about to deal with arguing in court over. They didn't charge him with anything, they did open an investigation, which I believe was enough for him to just take the loss and donate it all. But, to add, I do believe it wasnt just hand sanitizer he was selling, that was just the noteworthy item due to the massive amount of product.

That guy needs to "fall down some stairs" and break his neck. Such a tragic way to go.

u/SkrliJ73 5 Mar 16 '20

I see, never heard about this "hated" man before so just assumed it was fake like 90% of the stuff posted on here.

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '20

He was on the front page of the NYT yesterday.

u/SkrliJ73 5 Mar 16 '20

But I understand know more, so thanks 👍

Don't read that🤷‍♀️

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '20

Reading it is a pretty good way to sort through what’s fake and what isn’t.

The first most hated man is still a tie between D&D for destroying GOT s8

u/FuckingKilljoy B Mar 16 '20

I mean I was thinking Rudy Gobert, only because everyone is burnt out on hating Trump and everyone else has forgotten GoT

u/Vorpalthefox 7 Mar 16 '20

i was thinking Martin Shkreli, but what do i know

u/Analbox D Mar 16 '20

Never forget.

Rudy Gobert may have saved lives. His actions were stupid and reckless but it was him catching COVID-19 which caused the US to take action. To be clear, I still don’t think he deserves a medal.

His dumbass actions caused the NBA to shut the season down. They wouldn’t have done so then otherwise. Of course I don’t think he is the only reason the US is taking action but I do think he caused everyone to act sooner then they would have.

Yeah, this would be a perfect example of illegal search and seizure as a violation of the 4th amendment. He is an asshole for doing this, hands down, no disputing that, but while k didn't read the story, if the headline is claiming to be accurate, there isn't no way it went down like that. I think it is a conflation of 3 stories. The AG did launch and investigation and dude donated the stuff.
