Summary

A criminal complaint (AO 91) filed April 24, 2020 as Document 1 in United States v. Rodney Lewis Stevenson II, Case No. 20-mj-70483, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, charging wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343 and 2 on or about the date(s) of February 27, 2020 to April 15, 2020. It is signed via telephone by U.S. Postal Inspector Christopher T. Morris before U.S. Magistrate Judge Alex G. Tse. The attachment alleges Stevenson controlled EM General and its website, emgeneral.com, which offered N95 respirator masks and N99 filters that it did not possess, using fake executive identities and emails blaming shipping delays. The affidavit states the Inspection Service learned of more than 90 consumer complaints in the FTC Consumer Sentinel database, and that the majority of the complainants alleged they paid for N95 masks but never received them.
