AUI Professors Abderrahman Hassi and Giovanna Storti won the 3d prize of the 2021 TCJ Compact Case Competition for their case entitled Hoarding Essential Products during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The case discusses the issue of two brothers who amassed and hoarded stockpiles of essential products to make an immense profit when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. However, by an ironic twist of fate, their unorthodox acts were revealed in the media and the consequences came in threes: the public vilified the hoarders, the online marketplaces kicked them out, and the authorities opened an investigation about alleged price-gouging practices.
