An anonymous supplier, who put the masks on contacts to China available, is still queued on the half of his money, a “low seven-digit amount.” He is disappointed by the BMG , and says: “With the BMG, or even of the government, I’m going to make my life no more business.” Another, also unnamed, schimpt entrepreneurs: “This is worse than to trade with Amazon.”
