  Guys, I’m starting to get the feeling this guy might not be on the up and up.
context: Santos, who in 2020 reported holding no assets and a salary of $55,000 from a vice president position at a financial company called LinkBridge, appears to have suddenly come into substantial wealth, claiming a net worth of as much as $11.5 million on his 2022 financial disclosure
  
  We are on the “find out” phase of the George Santos campaign. This is one part of the his troubles with the finances. Next is his non profit company and the other one is if he a US citizen. 
  The US citizen question is interesting because the constitution requires one to be a citizen for a minimum of seven years to be eligible for the house. The timelines don’t match if he acquired the citizenship through green card process.
  Edit: he is under federal investigation now as per CNN >
  
  He's probably a U.S. citizen.  His arrest record in Brazil says he's a U.S. citizen.  Maybe he just falsely claimed it and the Brazilians didn't check, but that's one piece of evidence.  He also seems to have freely traveled between Brazil and the U.S. which makes sense if he's a dual citizen (U.S. by birth; Brazilian through his parents) but doesn't make sense otherwise.
  Now it's plausible enough that he married his ex-wife so she could get a green card.  But we don't really have any reason to doubt that he's a U.S. citizen any more than doubting he's a human or over the age of 25. >
  
  
  any more than doubting he's a human
  
  well.... >
  
  Well surprise, surprise, surprise! >
  
  It's never the reprehensible deeds, it's the money that trips people up. >
  
  Keep digging, if ones he was willing to admit were that bad, he's hiding a lot worse stuff. >
  
  "Santos claims his windfall is mostly due to the untimely passing of a so-called 'Great Uncle Tim' who, Santos claims, invented the Slip n' Slide during a 1963 Rio-area orgy." >

  I have legally used the tax laws to my benefit and to the benefit of my company, my investors and my employees. I mean, honestly, I have brilliantly - I have brilliantly used those laws.

  “If I wished to illegally fund a campaign and hide it, what I would do is run the money through a dummy corporation, then to a dark money group that supports the campaign. But if I was not that up on things, or a little lazy, I might … set up the dummy corporation, say it’s in the name of the candidate, then have the candidate pay himself the money and give it to the campaign,” Libowitz said. “This isn’t to say that this is clearly an illegal pass-through donation scheme, because we don’t know the full picture yet—but if it were one, this is what it would look like.”
