Winnetka businessman charged in federal court with price gouging in sale of protective masks during pandemic: Krikor Topouzian, 60, owner of a Skokie-based medical supply company is alleged to have accumulated in March and April a stockpile of nearly 80,000 respirator masks, including N95 masks, for roughly just over $5 per mask. He allegedly sold nearly 40,000 of the masks to customers for as much as $19.95 per mask — and kept selling them at inflated prices despite repeated law enforcement warnings that it was illegal.
