A Maine company facing criminal charges over failed delivery of medical supplies during the pandemic is now facing a lawsuit, as well.
The lawsuit filed in Florida by Lezer Corp. says Noble Partners LLC, doing business as Noble Medical Supply, failed to deliver a million antiseptic wipes and didn’t return a $108,000 deposit, the Portland Press Herald reported.
An attorney for Lezer Corp, a medical supply company, contends Noble is in default because the company never responded to the lawsuit.
Noble is led by Sean C. Grady, who was facing charges of securities fraud, theft by deception and selling securities without a license when his company started taking orders for N95 masks and other items in critically short supply in the early days of the pandemic.
Jeffrey Bennett, a lawyer for Noble, said Noble and Grady hadn’t received proper notice of the lawsuit.
Lezer Corp. lost its claim to a deposit by double-crossing Noble and dealing directly with Noble’s supplier, he said.
