A Winnetka, Illinois, medical supply company owner was convicted Friday of price-gouging N-95 masks at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Krikor Topouzian, 62, was the owner of Concord Health Supply in Skokie, Illinois. In his capacity as company president, he accumulated around 79,160 N-95 masks between March and April 2020 at around $5.08 a pop.

Despite this and despite warnings from friends, customers and law enforcement that his prices were too high, Topouzian sold the masks at prices as high as $19.95 per single mask, a markup of 185% to 367% per mask.
