Prosecutors said the hospital paid him millions for N95 masks that were never delivered.
– A man in southwest suburban Burr Ridge was sentenced to nearly five years in prison for swindling a hospital out of millions of dollars paid to acquire personal protective equipment in the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prosecutors said in March 2020, Haggerty and two business partners formed a company to sell personal protective equipment. The company agreed to sell 500,000 N95 respirator masks to a hospital in Iowa for nearly $2.5 million. Prosecutors said Haggerty spent part of the money for his personal benefit, including buying three luxury cars, paying nearly $189,000 to credit card companies, withdrawing more than $147,000 in cash and paying $20,000 to a personal friend.
