US Rep. George Santos charged with money laundering, fraud, theft

 

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — U.S. Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican infamous for fabricating key parts of his life story, was arrested Wednesday on federal criminal charges ahead of an expected court appearance.

 

The indictment says Santos induced supporters to donate to a company under the false pretense that the money would be used to support his campaign. Instead, it says, he used it for personal expenses, including luxury designer clothes and to pay off his credit cards.

 

Santos also is accused of lying about his finances on congressional disclosure forms and applying for and receiving unemployment benefits while he was employed as regional director of an investment firm and running for Congress.

@Chemist 

A little more detail to the story 

[Vermillion]

My first bet's on false financial disclosures related to his campaign.

 

My second bet's on false financial disclosures related to his life, which he was apparently living four of?  

 

My third bet's on his crimes in Brazil.

FINALLY he'll get what's coming to him.

It's OVER for him, he's not getting out of this unscathed.
