George is out! 311 to 114, with senior GQP leadership voting against expulsion. He's only the sixth to ever be expelled from Congress in our history, and the first member of Congress in modern times to be expelled without being convicted of a crime. Hey, they waited until the (56-page) Ethics Committee Report to come out.

#sanfrancisco residents: Hedge fund manager Bill Duhamel and his wife, arts producer Kate Duhamel, donated a total of $11,600 to Santos’ successful 2022 campaign, according to Federal Election Commission records. They each donated $2,900 to Santos last August and again in September.

While it's nice to see the NYT digging a bit more into #Devolder, the apparent source of phony baloney Rep. George Santos' mysterious wealth, I was hoping they'd do more than scratch the surface of the #Devolder organization and the people tied to that org.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/12/nyregion/george-santos-donors-fund-raising.html
e.g., it's fair to mention that the two addresses and one organization listed on the #devolder incorporation documents in Fla. all involve a guy named Devaughn Dames, who was CFO of the Harbor City -- the company that the SEC said was a ponzi scheme (and where Santos was a "regional director" quoted in press releases for the company.
Dames' vanity website redirects visitors to a "financial education" business that the FTC sued last summer for allegedly being a $213 million pyramid scheme.
https://mastodon.world/@briankrebs@infosec.exchange/109604359347665844
More about Dames' current business -- Round Table Partners - which used the same phone number as the Harbor City ponzi scheme:

The June 2020 press release George Devolder linked to on his archived Twitter page (@devolder) about Harbor City Capital mentions the CEO JP Maroney -- who was charged by the SEC for running a Ponzi scheme -- but it quotes Santos/Devolder throughout. And yet, we are supposed to believe Mr. Santos' claim that he knew nothing about a Ponzi scheme? And of course he was never charged.

For the record, it appears that after the FTC sued Financial Education Services/United Wealth Services this summer -- calling it a $213 million pyramid scheme -- a month later their preliminary injunction against this entity was denied. It's still not clear why.
https://behindmlm.com/companies/ftc-denied-financial-education-services-preliminary-injunction/
That might explain why the UWE site that comes up when one visits Mr. Dames' vanity domain is still going strong.
Also, FES/UWE has two Apple store apps -- UWE Agent, and MyHealthCare2Go.

An older record for #Devolder Organization LLC lists George A Devolder Santos at 801 Del Rio Way, #602, in Merritt Island, Fla. The Florida Secretary of State site says there are at least two other active organizations at this address, including Jayson Benoit & Associates Inc., and Redstone Strategies LLC.
From that TPM story I mentioned earlier (but failed to link to) https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/george-santos-devolder-organization-florida
"Jayson Benoit & Associates Inc. is the registered agent for Redstone Strategies and the “Devolder Organization LLC” is an authorized member, though it is identified as having a Queens address in the company’s paperwork. According to Mother Jones, Jayson Benoit was the former chief technology officer of Harbor City. Jayson Benoit & Associates Inc. was first associated with the condo address in the company’s April 2022 annual report. Previously, the company, which was incorporated in 2020, was based in the same office park that was the first home of the Devolder Organization and Dames was its registered agent.
Two firms associated with Benoit have been paid by Republican congressional campaigns in New York.
Between June and December 2021, RED STRATEGIES USA, LLC, which was formed in Florida that same year, received 76 payments totalling over $110,000 from the campaign of Tina Forte, a right-wing activist who was badly beaten by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) last month."
And to bring this full circle, from a Daily Beast story on April 3, 2022 (!): https://www.thedailybeast.com/george-devolder-santos-maga-house-candidate-in-new-york-haunted-by-gig-at-alleged-ponzi-scheme?ref=scroll
Five of the six companies involved in Red Strategies belong to former Harbor City employees, including the ex-CFO; the last belongs to Devolder-Santos’s campaign treasurer. None of the individuals involved were singled out in the SEC complaint for any alleged misconduct.

The first address listed in the Florida Devolder incorporation documents — 336 N. Babcock St, Suite 101 — is displayed in Google Street View as the address for a gynecology clinic, at which Mr. Dames’s LinkedIn page says he’s the virtual CFO.
According to a Dec. 23 post on TalkingPointsMemo.com, D&D was first incorporated in 2007 and led by two directors: DeVaughn Dames, and Odette Daley, a gynecologist whose practice has earned decidedly mixed reviews. From that story:
“The pair, who are married according to multiple records, initially operated their company out of a residence before moving its ‘principal place of business’ to the office park in 2010. In the park, D&D was headquartered at the same address as Daley’s gynecological practice, which has since closed.”
“D&D continued to be based out of Daley’s medical office even after she filed paperwork to resign her position as a director of the company in February 2020. Daley, who continued to be identified as a vice director at the firm in its 2021 and 2022 annual reports, did not respond to a message left at her office. In its 2022 annual report, D&D’s ‘principal place of business’ was identified as the address of a mailbox rental company.”
The other suite at that address listed on the Devolder application — Suite 104 — is the home of ManagedITSolutions[.]net, which lists its point of contact as “Mike Ricks.” But the phone number associated with that domain — 786-390-1377 — is also in the WHOIS registration records for devaughndames[.]com. Perhaps Mr. Dames is or was virtual CFO here as well, although his extensive LinkedIn profile is silent on this front.
A generous reader of the Florida incorporation documents for Devolder Organization might conclude that perhaps Mr. Dames was acting purely as its registered agent. But the fact that the Devolder records name three addresses and entities tied to Mr. Dames hints at a stronger connection.

This part got me, from the NYT story on Dec. 19:
"His financial disclosure forms suggest a life of some wealth. He lent his campaign more than $700,000 during the midterm election, has donated thousands of dollars to other candidates in the last two years and reported a $750,000 salary and over $1 million in dividends from his company, the Devolder Organization.
Yet the firm, which has no public website or LinkedIn page, is something of a mystery. On a campaign website, Mr. Santos once described Devolder as his “family’s firm” that managed $80 million in assets. On his congressional financial disclosure, he described it as a capital introduction consulting company, a type of boutique firm that serves as a liaison between investment funds and deep-pocketed investors. But Mr. Santos’s disclosures did not reveal any clients, an omission three election law experts said could be problematic if such clients exist."
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html
Something tells me the SEC and/or the FTC know a lot about his, er..."clients."

So where were we? Ah yes, Mr. Dames, whose name and other info is attached to both of the addresses listed on Mr. Santos's Devolder entity.
Mr. Dames's linkedin page says he also was CFO at Harbor City Capital Management. Surprise! This one's an out-and-out scam as well. Per the SEC:
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announced on April 26, 2021, that it filed an emergency action and obtained an asset freeze to stop an alleged ongoing fraudulent Ponzi scheme. The SEC claims that from 2015 to 2021, Harbor City Capital Corp. (“Harbor City”) and its founder and CEO, Jonathan P. Maroney raised more than $17.1 million from over 100 investors through unregistered, fraudulent securities offerings.
The defendants originally sold the securities as promissory notes and agreements, offering investors 2%-6% in interest rates for 12-36 months. The investors were promised a full return on their investment principal. The defendants solicited money through Harbor City’s website and online marketing videos posted to YouTube and social media platforms like Facebook. The investors were told in the marketing videos that their money would be used to fund Harbor City’s lead generation business which the SEC claim describes as the process of capturing online interest in a service or product for the purpose of developing sales leads. #devolder, #santos #georgesantos #harborcity #devaughndames

Do you know how many times I've heard over the past few days how much the media is failing to follow the money in this story about the newly elected Rep. George #Santos? This story makes it clear that's exactly what happened.
https://www.theleaderonline.com/single-post/santos-filings-now-claim-net-worth-of-11-million (edit: replaced the paywalled WaPo story about how the MSM missed the big scoop with the big scoop itself).
So let's follow the money, shall we? Starting with Mr. Santos' latest filing for The #Devolder Organization, which is apparently responsible for his sudden unexplained wealth (Devolder is Santos' late mother's last name).
The organization lists its address as 336 N. Babcock St. Ste 104. The document also lists another organization at the same address but at Ste 101, called D&D International Investment Services Inc.
Both are affiliated with an individual named Devaughn #Dames, who appears to be both a physician and a CFO somehow. He's also very passionate about spreading his knowledge about how to handle your money wisely. His linkedin page mentions both companies. He also seems to be an IT expert; previous domains include https://web.archive.org/web/20160518071721/http://www.manageditsolutions.net/about.html
One of Mr. Dames' email addresses (dev.dames at gmail) was used to register the vanity domain devaughndames[.]com. Firefox didn't like what that site tried to do when I visited it, but it loaded an empty page that had the heading "Financial Educational Services." But the pop-up takes you to a domain called myuwe[.]net, which is for an entity called United Wealth Education.
Now, UWE is full of stock photos and videos, and there isn't much there about who runs it. And after spending a few minutes on this site, you'll probably come away with the conclusion that the site is tied to some type of scam.
Well, if you look up the name of what Myuwe[.]net used to be called -- Financial Educational Services -- you'll see they were shut down JUST THIS YEAR by the US Federal Trade Commission for being a giant pyramid scheme that bilked people out of more than $213 million.
How's that for following the money? :) Wait, I'm not done yet.

11. The NYT is now digging into the meat of the #Devolder drama: follow the money. Not only where it came from but where it was spent. Lots of questionable expenses there.
Go read the story. And note that this is what's called a "non-denial denial." The lawyer — a good lawyer — says asking the question is "ludicrous," but also doesn't deny anything.

@guacamayan I know you're just spit-balling, but that sort of loan would put both #GeorgeSantos and the secret donor into legal trouble. Wherever that money came from, it'll be under intense scrutiny now. Given his character and history, would you give him the millions to bankroll #Devolder speculating that this D-grade conman could pull-off an election after previously being defeated? I realize congress has its share of conmen, but I would have found a potential candidate with better odds!

@guacamayan I know you're just spit-balling, but that sort of loan would put both #GeorgeSantos and the secret donor into legal trouble. Wherever that money came from, it'll be under intense scrutiny now. Given his character and history, would you give him the millions to bankroll #Devolder speculating that this D-grade conman could pull-off an election after previously being defeated? I realize congress has its share of conmen, but I would have found a potential candidate with better odds!
