George Santos Met Crypto Millionaires in the Hamptons and Snapped Up Campaign Cash
(Bloomberg) -- The Long Island village of Southampton has long served as a getaway for New York’s ultra-wealthy, but in the summer of 2022, it welcomed a crop of newly minted magnates. George Santos, an underdog congressional candidate from the other end of the island, was there to greet them.
Santos, in his early 30s, found common cause with the millennial millionaires.
Both had dubious sources of wealth — his from unexplained business deals and theirs from marketing cryptocurrencies to the masses. While they were looking to upend financial systems and write crypto-friendly regulations in Washington, Santos was hoping to use their new money to get elected to Congress.
Their plotlines merged for a few weeks last summer, when Santos attended at least two fundraisers with high-flying crypto execs in the Hamptons, according to donors who attended. But fall brought a sharp reversal of fortune for both.
