    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosalindadams/after-one-tweet-to-president-trump-this-man-got-69-million

    Don't know how reliable the specific of this story are. But if it's to be believed:

    • Trump tweets for GM to "START MAKING VENTILLATORS NOW"

    • Some mobile engineer from Silicon Valley replies directly to him that he can deliver thousands

    • Apparently get's recommended to NY state by the white house as a supplier

    • NY state doesn't do any diligence on him apparently and meanwhile suspends rules for payment on delivery of goods

    • Dude prices ventilators at $47K each - gets paid $65M

    • Hasn't delivered any - NY state trying to claw money back
