George Santos allegation of the week: Credit Card Cloning and Skimming

Ah, to the untrained eye it appears to be scamming, but to the trained eye, he successfully ran a small business. Now the government wants to punish success. Shame!

 

David Fincher could do a great movie about this whole thing. It's so bizarre its almost unbelievable.

 

Having a feeling all of this won't end well for the lying sack of shit.

 

Or something like “The Informant!”. The Matt Ramon movie about price fixing at Archer Daniels Midland. You need that almost over the top subtle irony through it all.

 

It’s actually kind of embarrassing for the govt this guy is still walking around free, but then again, this particular credit card skimming op might not be a great case if all they have is a sworn affidavit from a convicted criminal and alleged partner. Obviously I don’t doubt the circumstances given this guys background, but they’d need more to bring a case. Where’s the money trail?

They do apparently have him red handed lying to the judge about his employment circumstances among other things. Under oath?

 

Whatever happens, I doubt it goes normally.

Anyone think this guy would attempt to flee back to Brazil or some non-extradition county? When’s the last time a U.S. congressperson was a fugitive from Justice? Given the craziness to this guy, wouldn’t be at all surprising. Sounds to me like he modeled his life after Catch Me if You Can or Talented Mr. Ripley.

 

What kind of Republican robs people, but doesn't use a gun? ... what a puss...

 

Next we will hear that Santos was part of the infamous UF Football card scandal.

 

Potential movie titles

- The Talented Mr Santos
- Dirty Santos
- Santos Clause
- George Cosantos

 

My brain read this thread as George Soros and I was very confused.

 

So, wins re-election by 8 points?

 

If he were running from the First District of Florida or the 14th District of Georgia.

 

But in the meantime he is cashing those checks as a Congressman.

 

And he most likely will continue to do so until December 31, 2024 given that Kevin McCarthy will need his vote again if there ever is a motion to vacate the chair.

 

Given his district, he likely wins re-election easily. Him and Desjarlais are quite the pair from Tennessee.

 

Desjarlais, the "prolife" member of Congress who urged his ex-wife and mistress to get abortions and probably continues to receive support of the prolifers.

Can’t believe no one has brought up this

George Santos allegedly brokered $19m superyacht deal between two rich donors

This is the same yacht that that Bannon was arrested on owned by this guy.

Santos has apparently been charged, but the indictment is not public so uncertain if it is related to this
