  1. [20:22] Ex-congressman Santos jailed for seven years for fraud

    Disgraced former Republican politician George Santos, who was expelled from the US Congress for using stolen donor cash to bankroll a lavish lifestyle, has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

  2. more great reporting from Jason Mikula on the #a16z / #MarcAndreessen backed financial disaster known as Synapse, the middleman behind Yotta and others that lost track of (and maybe lost) most of their customers’ money.

    Andreessen’s desire to eliminate the #CFPB for “terrorizing” #fintech companies like Synapse suggests a desire to keep backing companies that will strip mine the wallets of uneducated consumers.

    Seen also: Evolve Bank & Trust (a bank popular with players like #FTX and #GeorgeSantos), #VoyagerDigital (a crypto company backed by #MarcCuban that incinerated user deposits in 2022), and #MetropolitanCommercialBank (#MCB), a NY institution beloved by the far right in Israel.

  3. George Santos is not the greatest #fabulist / #conman politician — but he's well on his way to being a contender if he manages to dodge prison.

    Like Santos, Ignaz Trebitsch Lincoln was elected to a national legislature under dubious circumstances (ITL won a seat in UK's house of parliament before obtaining citizenship). Like Santos, ITL also participated in a coup attempt (the Kapp Putsch). ITL's lifestory is much more incredible and wide-ranging than Santos, but Santos is still young.

    I hope it becomes that we do not want radicalized insane violent maga candidates like #SolomonPeña who are shooting up homes of Dems because he lost. There is the tipping point. Recognize that he and #GeorgeSantos are the same problem.

    The New York congressman once claimed Andrew Intrater’s company was his “client." Another Intrater company allegedly made a deposit with a firm where Santos worked.

  7. "But Democrats struggled to do so. In 2020, the party incumbent, Tom Suozzi, dismissed Mr. Santos as a nonviable threat, and conducted no opposition research at all while cruising to victory. When Democrats did vet him two years later, they failed to find some of the most egregious fabrications that prompted members of Mr. Santos’s campaign team to quit."

    "I’m embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume,” he said. “I own up to that …"

    If the next words out of his mouth aren't "I resign", then, no, he's not owning up to that.
