Rep. George Santos (R-NY) got funding from the cousin of a Russian oligarch, worked for a firm whose founder said he sought capital investments in Belarus and reportedly connected said firm with said cousin.
Putin is all up in the GOP. Lube provided by Rosneft.
Imagine that! Would never have guessed. No wonder all GOP is against assistance to Ukraine. Now all that is required is a massive team to investigate, serve it on a silver platter to DOJ, and in 4-5 years, they will announce that statute of limitations has elapsed. America’s finest.
Questions continue to persist over Santos’ sudden increase in wealth, which saw him go from living with roommates and being unable to make rent to having hundreds of thousands of dollars to pour into his own campaign in 2022.
While still crashing on his sister’s couch (who was also seemingly unable to make her rent).
It’s almost like there never was any money…
CEO Of Santos-Linked Ponzi Scheme Claimed To Seek Funding In Belarus, Russia
Dude should be seeking asylum, not funding.
Uh oh: another Santos story. Cue the complaints
Public corporate filings show that FEA Innovations, a Mississippi-registered firm, has Intrater as its sole officer.
Why Mississippistan? Granted, it’s about the last place in America one would expect to find a russian oligarch, but still, kind of hard to blend in, there.
Yup. I for one am glad TPM has finally broken its silence on The Santos Sanction. (/snark, in an abundance of caution)
an entry stating that the company used $426,000 of the money deposited for “payments to one individual wired to the National Bank for Foreign Economic Activity of the Republic of Uzbekistan.”
Ok, whoever has Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Mississippistan on your bingo card, time to buy a lottery ticket.
…and there’s the 34 campaign fund line item expenses of $199.99 apiece in Q4 2021. ($200 is the threshold where you must itemize and produce receipts)
Starting to think this guy is the freaking Rosetta Stone to unravel the entire GOP. Please carry on, Speaker McCarthy!
Sad sad OT. David Crosby has died!!
@txlawyer called it days ago. Getting closer.
Breaking: Santos linked to Lindbergh baby kidnapping, JFK assassination and shooting of JR.
How can this get any more f_cked up and corrupt?
Bummer. I doubt that Stills and Nash are going to invite Neil Young to join them in a farewell tour.
So sorry to hear that. He went through a lot of things but managed to outlive so many from that era.
I think this is an even better version:
Let me be the first. It’s cheap and easy to report on, but doesn’t change a thing. Kev has his back, he could hold up a bank in broad daylight and shoot someone on Fifth Ave. and nothing will happen to him. Much like orange who has bragged about his crimes, and look how much he’s been punished.
So reporting on this 21st century Ponzi basically falls under “clickbait” reporting.
You rang?
