Santos was triple dipping: salary from fake co, campaign funds for personal expenses AND unemploymen

[Demovictory9]

1. Taking salary from shady company that no one knows where funds came from..
2. Dipping into campaign funds from personal expenses which is illegal
3. Taking unemployment which is illegal due to 1. And 2 above

All at the same time.

[live love laugh]

1. He doesn't have the $$ to fight this like his counterparts. Bye Bye Santos or whoever you are.

2. This isnt rich man complicated white collar crime. He is toast

[brush]

4. Yep, toast. A amall-time conman makes it to the bigtime and...

finds out he's not slick enough to fool the FBI.

3. Damn! 😳

“ At the height of the pandemic in 2020, George Santos allegedly applied for and received unemployment benefits while he was employed and running for Congress,” stated District Attorney Donnelly. “As charged in the indictment, the defendant’s alleged behavior continued during his second run for Congress when he pocketed campaign contributions and used that money to pay down personal debts and buy designer clothing. This indictment is the result of a lengthy collaboration between law enforcement agencies, and I thank our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their dedication to rooting out public corruption.”

6. Nail his sorry a&&. He's a sorry example of what NY can give the nation, get rid of him New Yorkers

and sue him for the unlawfully gained unemployment benefits (plus interest) and arrest his sorry a&&.

5. Cuff him and stuff him

into oblivion...

7. My problem with all of this is, he would have gotten away with it if he didn't get elected.

Like TFG, if they didn't get elected, no one would have dig into these problems. We need to revamp our campaign finance system so these people don't use it to make money off it.

8. Sounds like a highly successful Republican businessman.

9. Might have gotten away with the unemployment scam if he hadn't run for Congress.

I guess the lure of campaign money was too much to resist.

[Claustrum]

10. More like he would get away with it if he lost.

Like TFG, he somehow won and couldn't get through the scrutiny coming along with the job and they got into trouble with the law. We need to revamp the campaign finance law so it doesn't attract these people trying to make money off it.
