Importers got rich on COVID masks; the shipment’s still on the dock

The two-deck yacht was cruising Sydney Harbour, the party on board in full swing, and among those enjoying themselves was import businessman Jack Reuben.

It was late 2021 and Reuben had plenty of reasons to celebrate. Corona beer flowed. Sushi was sliced up. People were breakdancing on the deck – an event video blasted electronica tune Party Rock Anthem and showed Reuben, in a black T-shirt emblazoned MAJOR, dancing along.
