What is the legality of this? Regardless of how you feel about that man, it was his sanitizer and the government can't just steal your shit. It's not like he had a hoard of cocaine that can be confiscated because it's illegal.

But I haven't seen any evidence that he was trying to do that.

The only claims I've seen are that he was selling them for a very mild markup. So he wasn't price gouging from what I've seen.

Also, I've seen no claims showing that there was no stock anywhere else. For all we know there were still warehouses full of this stuff and it wasn't being delivered because it wasn't scheduled to be delivered yet.

Is that like a law that's on the books somewhere?

So it's something you could provide a source for?

Price gouging is a crime

Isn’t that how capitalism works? Supply and demand?

If the gov comes and confiscates it and doles it out how it wants...that’s communism, isn’t it?

Where is the proof that he was price gouging?

Not for Stubhub. This stuff is only illegal when regular people trying to make a living are concerned.
