omg

Santos refused to accept his 2020 defeat, and, like Trump, falsely claimed that the vote totals had been somehow manipulated. He began raising money and hiring additional staff for a recount, insisting that half the Democratic ballots should have been discarded, and refused to leave the orientation session for new members of Congress even after Suozzi's victory was certified

Hypocrite libs thought it was cool when Aubrey Plaza did credit card fraud!!!!

Santos also returned more in campaign donations than he took in the last quarter. Funny how that works out.

three weeks pass...

not to be outdone by all the Donald Trump news

CNN Exclusive: Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos, the Republican whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

When pressed for comment, Santos said it was a "different George Santos"

Santos is my Congressperson. I voted for one of the more progressive candidates because Zimmerman seemed like a total DNC hack.

Sorry :(

Otoh, I don't think Santos will finish his term.

Not that this required any sort of political prognostication. Dude is dumb and sloppy.

One of the things that was shocking when I read The Master of the Senate was how little money would buy a congressional race and I don't know who bought this one but someone did.

have to give a little respect to the man who knows how to diversify his revenue streams
(false unemployment claims, telling donors his company is a PAC/nonprofit and then buying luxury items)

The man does love his side hustles. I still hope there's more to come on his whole stealing puppies from Amish farmers and selling them as rescue dogs through his fake pet charity racket, would be a shame if that ends up just a footnote in the Santos saga: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/02/10/george-santos-amish-puppies/

e stealing puppies from Amish farmers and selling them as rescue dogs through his fake pet charity racket

This is still just so bonkers, it's like a C-story from "Seinfeld" or "Arrested Development" or something.

seems like straight up sociopathy can get you pretty far in american politics

I heard Santos has a degree in Sociopathy from Stanford.

So this is the clearest story I've read yet on all the shenanigans and...it's still complicated as hell.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 11 May 2023 06:32 (one year ago) link

I had to do actual work for 20 years before I got a completely bullshit job in an entirely made-up industry.

It's not fair.

Why does someone like Santos just get handed shit, entire businesses whose "work" is amorphous vague buzzwords like "proactively leveraging synergies" or whatever?

What does any of it even MEAN? Like, do you go to work each day and sit at a desk and explore the investment potential of synergistic opportunities while proactively leveraging economies of scale in an agile environment from 8:00 to 4:30?

coolgnoscenti (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 11 May 2023 08:24 (one year ago) link

I'm completely serious. Like, literally, what is the shape of an actual work day of someone who "works" in this imaginary space? Is it meetings and phone calls? Do you have to read things? Send emails?

I readily admit that my own job is probably bullshit but the Santosverse seems to be a whole new level of bullshit where you just incorporate and money somehow just rolls in.

If it's that easy, why isn't everyone doing it? Like, why bother growing food or making shoes or writing vampire books or walking other people's dogs or painting houses or... anything, really?

If all you need to do is come up with a fancy-sounding name and get someone to file paperwork, then millions of dollars arrive...

Maybe I should try that. It sounds easier than working.

Yeag Boring MD I kind of thought I had decent grift going because I can sit at a desk for a while each day, and then subsequently feed my children and pay my exorbitant mortgage.

But these Santos-esque dudes have taken it to a new level where they don't appear to need to do the first part. And not only do they get enough money to live on, they have enough left over to buy a seat in the U.S. freaking Congress?

Like, where is the line to get in on that shit because it sounds super chill: money, power, no work, and lots of cashmere sweaters. Sign me up plz

this is why the people who do this are sociopaths, you have to be a person who really thinks "consequences are for other people" and believes it to tolerate what would otherwise be the ego-fracturing pressure of living a con 24/7

J Edgar Noothgrush (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Thursday, 11 May 2023 13:29 (one year ago) link

I want to know about all the attempted grifts that failed. Was he using other name combinations and just emailing people with

"Hello Sir,

I am George Devolder, and I have an excellent investment opportunity. We have a nonprofit in Buenos Aires that connects underprivileged capybara owners in Uruguay with tiktokers in Florida."

mh, Thursday, 11 May 2023 13:49 (one year ago) link

He was apparently wining and dining clients at the same Queens restaurant that had all the suspicious campaign expenditures of exactly $199.99/

I feel like there are revelations to come about who's at the other end of his deals. Not necessarily anything mindblowing, more likely hilarious. Second-rate gangsters of assorted stripes.

This is a good read.

NEW: I spent months talking w/ George Santos for a potential documentary on him (my team eventually ditched the project when it was clear he wanted lots of $).

In our conversations Santos offered striking remarks on his scandals & a notable “Jewish” impression (audio below)…🧵

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/11/george-santos-brazil-case-theft/

RIO DE JANEIRO — Rep. George Santos signed a deal with Brazilian prosecutors Thursday in which the New York Republican confessed to theft and agreed to pay restitution and fines if prosecutors agree to drop the criminal case against him, bringing a likely resolution in a case that has tailed the embattled politician for more than a decade.

Santos appeared virtually Thursday afternoon at the criminal court hearing in the Rio suburb of Niterói, during which he was given 30 days to pay around $2,000 in fines and $2,800 to the victim. The case won’t be dismissed until the payments are made, court officials said.

so this dude is basically an It's Always Sunny character? I mean he's contrived a bunch of insane, obviously stupid grifts which he never suffered any consequences for. except since this is reality and not a sitcom the schemes actually worked. getting arrested after winning a Congressional seat feels like a possible ending for the show too

there's definitely a madcap series to be made from it all. Who would be a good Santos?
