PPE Scam Exposed: Fraudsters Paid Handsomely | Leicester News

During the pandemic’s peak, a trio—Jogesh and Meenakashi Bhandari, and Craig Morris—staged a massive fraud, falsely promising millions of nitrile gloves while pocketing illicit cash. They lavished themselves with a $126K Porsche, Rolex watches, jewelry, and a luxury kitchen renovation—all while others scrambled for real supplies.
