A Colorado man is facing federal charges in the state of Washington after allegedly selling hundreds of counterfeit COVID-19 vaccine cards to people across the country, according to court documents filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.
Robert Van Camp is charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the government of the United States for “knowingly and intentionally impairing the functions of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ” in both the administration and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine as well as the administration and enforcement of the government’s federal employee vaccination mandate, according to an affidavit in the case.
Arresting documents show Van Camp would sell the fake COVID-19 vaccine cards for as little as $17 to upwards of $750, depending on the number of cards requested by potential buyers, which Van Camp claimed were in the upper hundreds. “We’re talking about people who can’t go to work, can’t go to school, and their losing their job,” Van Camp allegedly told one of the undercover agents. “Like, I’m not making cards cause I’m bored, I’m making cards cause I’m in the middle of a f-----g war.”
A search through Van Camps’ trash at his Parker home by federal agents on Oct. 14, 2021 revealed handwritten documents containing a list of names from buyers and a list of payment amounts, as well as torn up COVID-19 vaccine cards.
