ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man and his three sons are facing federal charges that they illegally sold a bleachlike chemical mixture as a miracle cure for the new coronavirus and other diseases, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

The substance marketed as Miracle Mineral Solution was sold nationwide through an entity called the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing in Bradenton, Florida, according to a criminal complaint. A Miami federal judge in April ordered the self-styled church to stop selling the substance, but it was ignored.

Charged in the criminal complaint are Mark Grenon, 62, and his sons, Jonathan Grenon, 34, Jordan Grenon, 26, and Joseph Grenon, 32. They are charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to violate the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and criminal contempt. ............(more)

And very Trumpian.

2. The Grenon Gang was muscling in on the Trump Crew's Hydroxychloroquine territory.

5. That's probably why the authorities got mad about it. These guys are republicans.

You can tell just by the headline.

6. What gets me is that people fall for these scams repeatedly. They should be brought up on ...

charges too of endangering the public or attempted murder or something like that...people are consuming this crap that they've put together, which possibly could fatally harm them.
