12. Co-Conspirator-2 (“CC-2”) has interests in various
business entities, including a company that manufactures heating
products (“CC-2 Company-1”) with locations in New Jersey and
Ireland. Based on my participation in this investigation,
including my review of email correspondence obtained pursuant to
judicially authorized warrants, I am aware that CC-2 was a friend
and business associate of RONALD ROMANO, the defendant, and claimed
to have sources of supply of certain PPE, including N95 and N99
respirators .

b. ROMANO and CC-2 discussed, in substance and in
part, that they could get rich quick by closing a sale of
respirators. On March 9, 2020, ROMANO sent a text message to CC-2,
stating in part, “I’m working on a few deals that if I get any of
them you might be buying a Ferrari.”

g. Based on my investigation, CC-2 Company-2, which,
as described below, ROMANO represented to be a “hedge fund,”
appears to be a fictitious entity . Also, based on my review of
records obtained during the course of the investigation and my
conversations with 3M’s representatives, I am aware that 3M never
agreed to manufacture respirators for CC-2 Company-2 and none of
CC2 Company-1, CC-2 Company-2, or CC-2 was authorized to distribute
3M products or solicit purchase orders from prospective customers

h. In the days that followed, ROMANO (with the
assistance of CC-2) created a document on CC-2 Company-1’s
letterhead stating that Vendor-1 was authorized to sell 3M products
on CC-2 Company-1’s behalf (the “Fictitious Authorization
Letter”). On or about March 15, 2020, ROMANO emailed CC-2 a draft
of the Fictitious Authorization Letter. The body of the email
stated, “Make changes if needed.” The draft document that ROMANO
had prepared stated:
[CC-2 Company-1] through [CC-2 Company-2] has secured
the rights to manufacture 400 million Units (Masks) with
3M factories in the US. 3M will produce the N95 NIOSH
particulate respirator Models 1860 and 8210 FOB 3M
factories.

This letter represents that [Vendor-1] is an authorized
agent to represent our products around the world, to
take and accept orders, deposits, and payment through
their business operations headquartered in Manalapan NJ
USA. on behalf of 3M.
