COVID-19 pandemic

A report is published documenting the ways people have been taking advantage of the pandemic to enrich themselves. Documented issues include selling false medical equipment or drugs, selling medical equipment or drugs at up to 10x the price, buying all available supplies so they will only be found on the black market, operating hospitals like expensive private hotels, charging twenty times the normal prices for ambulance services, charging a hundred times the regular cost for cremation services or supplies, selling false reports and records, and selling children orphaned by the pandemic.
