I hadn't heard of #MercantileBank. It's a "US bank with global access" located on crypto bro's second favorite island: Puerto Rico.
It caters to startups, specifically those in digital assets and other shady things like energy transition and "creative entrepeneurship". 🤔

I believe Chris Grant handled George Santos’s campaign. Shocked to hear he has ties to Roger Stone protege Michael Caputo. Yes, I’m being sarcastic. 1/

1. NB DOJ needs to look at this @SEC_Enforcement. IMO should be in Bankruptcy or #GeorgeSantos gets away with the cash. @AnthonyColeyDOJ

2. @emmersbrown @isaacstanbecker. You are getting your facts from someone who has a financial interest in keeping this receivership in control. If the debtor firm transferred the money to Santos, the receiver is letting him get away with it by not being in Bankruptcy where a
3. trustee can recover a preference or void a fraudulent transfer. And that lawyer you're relying on and the receiver, are law partners who both get stiffed if it is put into Bankruptcy.
Is #GeorgeSantos the "Manchurian Candidate" for Brazil’s #JairBolsonaro? Forget Santos’ monstrous lies. Follow the money.

#GeorgeSantos, who couldn’t pay his $1,800 apartment rent and whose last verified job was in a call center, somehow lent his campaign over $700,000?!?

Supposedly, Santos started a consulting business to help Brazilian companies work with US firms. But who would pay big fees to a consultant who fled Brazil at age 19 after a felony fraud conviction?

This is why Democrats are all "🤣🍿🤭" about #GeorgeSantos. With the GOP looking set to seat him, there's 2 years of this non stop grift, cos he will make his time count.
Trump GOP is a party of donor grifts. With the RNC running most donor grifts for Trump past 2 years.

It's obvious why the GOP is keeping #GeorgeSantos around for now. Speaker election is far from settled for McCarthy. They will seat him, he will vote, and then after a couple of weeks or months, he will resign, being "bought out" somehow. Perfectly legal landing spot.
If this dude was in some faraway district in flyover country, it was one thing.
But he's a short drive from where the most political journalists in the country work and he's such an easy dumpster fire fountain.
GOP will cut him loose in Feb or so, I predict.

The #GeorgeSantos scandal continues to spin out of control and is getting worse. Here’s why. 🧵
First, the severity of the fraud is breathtaking. This isn’t a little resume embellishment. It’s making up his entire life story, the centerpiece of his campaign. This isn’t exaggerating about some obscure point — the whole life is a lie.
Second, every step he has taken since the NYT story broke has made the problem worse. It’s exactly what not to do.
The #GeorgeSantos phenomenon is impt b/c it represents a part of Trumpism that still must be tackled: shamelessness. Trump’s invitation to shamelessness has been received by elected officials,parents who scream at kids who wear masks, or who threaten librarians,lawyers & judges.
Attys have made claims they knew were w/o merit, or coaxed witnesses to lie, or that judges have made rulings clearly contrary to law or demonstrably at odds w/the facts,or candidates claim to have won elections they lost and they have done so shamelessly w/o fear of consequence.
The only way to tackle this is to ensure that there are consequences for this conduct - not putting dishonest cops on a “do not call” list, but prosecuting them or removing them frm ofc. Not saying “let the voters decide,” but sanctioning,refusing to seat or censuring electeds.
This #GeorgeSantos situation is such a gift for Democrats! 🤣
If they seat him, GOP own him for 2 years. And he is the new bar. Next cycle will have dozens of GOP candidates lying and citing him as precedent.
If they don't seat him, 1 seat less in a razor thin majority.

When your lies are too much even for Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard to get behind, you clearly have lied too much. 🤣🤣
Best was "I'm not Jewish. I'm Jew-ish."
That's his "explanation" for that particular lie. He just feels Jew-ish. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️

Regardless of #GeorgeSantos lies, Dems were bound to flip his district back in the 24 presidential cycle. So we can just 🍿 and 🤭.
Trump first set the precedent of doubling down on straight up lies. As hard as it is to believe that, GOP once had higher standards than this.
