🧵
1/ "[Santos] worked at a Melbourne, FL company called Harbor City Capital that was accused by the SEC in 2021 of running a $17 million Ponzi scheme. Subsequently, he supposedly made at least $3.5 million from...company called Devolder Organization LLC.
motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
2/ The former managers of Harbor City Capital all seem to be pretty closely connected to Santos.
Melbourne, FL, and Merritt Island, FL are both located in #BrevardCounty which is home to America's Space Center at #CapeCanaveral
"Two of the firms linked to Santos and his associates are supposed strategy firms that got money from Republican congressional campaigns. One took in over $110,000 from the unsuccessful challenge to @AOC. The other did work for a candidate who claims to have never heard of them.
The SEC filing against Harbor City Capital names only Maroney, and not George Santos other, more closely affiliated associates. The complaint lists several shell companies located in Nevada and Wyoming.
DeVaughn Dames is an interesting character...to say the least. The chief financial officer Harbor City capital left one month after the SEC accused it of being a ponzi scheme, and he is affiliated with a number of businesses in FL.
Paul Nicolini is another. His LinkedIn profile says he has a "show" and says "Rtp Business Development" for employment, but SunBiz shows him owning several companies.
It's all very wierd. But #BrevardCounty is home to lots of wierdness. Last week a priest here was literally defrocked by the pope himself.
I can promise you, anything political involving a hundred thousand dollars happening HERE, in #BrevardCounty, would not escaped the notice of this area's two premier political Capos, Mike Haridopolis and Steve Crisafulli.
#BrevardCounty is home to the infamous #RandyFine who has punched above his weight in garnering national headlines for being a crook, liar, and idiot. Funny, he's also very much tied to casinos, racketeering, etc, and has committed numerous frauds himself.
Then there's our infamous sheriff, #WayneIvey. Ivey hand picked the State Atty, Phil Archer, who let #JoelGreenberg's epic crime spree go unchecked for years in neighboring Seminole County. He calls himself a 'Constitutional Sheriff". These pictures are all real.
Our congressman, Bill Posey, is an especially insane character and definitely an insurrectionist. But i've long suspected he is a russian asset.
Turns out, Santos got a bunch of his money from a sanctioned russian oligarch.

But that money pales in comparison to the $700k Santos loaned his own campaign.

Here's all the background info a person could possibly want on the place. Everyone is shocked by that Santos guy, but to me, the least shocking thing about him is he got his $$ from here. Add this to the already numerous fed investigations happening here.
Here's a video from last October of Governor Ron DeSantis, Sheriff Wayne Ivey, and State Atty Phil Archer all not wanting the feds poking around down here. Kinda ironic, but i can't watch it without laughing. They all look so guilty and stupid.
I wonder if DeVaugan Dames, the registered agent for lyin' George #Santos #Devolder company in Merritt Island, FL is connected to this Central FL developer. They seem to both move a lot of money to and from the #Bahamas. Could just be a coincidence...🤔
Heres a good thread on what #Santos spent his money on. The grifts within the grift.
Apparently, some of the connections lead to Miami...#BecauseMiami.
There are only four known clients of the Devolder Org: ...car dealerships, a firm tied to a Long Island insurance conglomerate, and two groups linked to none other than the Ruiz family.
occupydemocrats.com/2022/12/31/mia…
And that Miami Billionaire was offended that those connections are public record, so he's threatening to sue activists and journalists. Which is stupid.
🥴
"Florida corporate filings show two Devolder LLC, were created about two weeks apart Jan '22. Their leadership consists of relatives of billionaire Miami atty John Ruiz, a personal injury and class action lawyer..."
thedailybeast.com/george-santos-…
Lmfao. It keeps getting crazier.
"Rep. George #Santos took an almost certainly illegal donation from an Italian national and confessed smuggler of undocumented immigrants—who is a relative of some of his closest local supporters and campaign vendors."
thedailybeast.com/george-santos-…
George Santos really made a lot of friends...
I guess I'd be hard to get a hold of if I was so closely affiliated with Santos...but I don't own or run a bunch of companies. The Brevard ppl seem to have ghosted the mess they are connected to.
The fact George Santos was not included in the Ponzi Scheme documents by the SEC is a shocking oversight on the part of the SEC.
Adding to the intrigue, their office in Melbourne, FL was a Stone's throw from a very large Leonardo DRS facility, which if anyone remembers, was the defense contractor from #ItalyGate that was supposedly switching votes using military satellites.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italygate
In case anyone forgot (everyone did) Trump's first rally as President on February 18, 2017 was at Melbourne International Airport...which also is just right up the street.
c-span.org/video/?c479364…
But the kicker? The hangar he held that rally in was leased by...Russians. Lol. Also famously located at that Airport: Blackwater.
Seriously.
So who is this Vekselberg russian oligarch that seems to have poured a lot of money into George Santos campaign?
Here's an excellent 🧵👇
Remember up top, I said no one was moving that kind of political $$ around #BrevardCounty without being noticed? Former FL Senate Pres, Mike #Haridopolis lives on the same island where #Santos former boss, J.P. Maroney hosted a fundraiser featuring @DonaldJTrumpJr.
The reason I said that, is bc Mike #Haridopolis has his hands in rigging Florida's elections statewide. Seriously. Fake candidates, gerrymandering, voter suppression, Gaetz, Greenberg, #DataTargetingInc, you name it.
So, Republicans are having pre-mature 'espionages' in their pants over the Joe Biden thing, but they REALLY want to see #Santos go away.
Roger Stone did something wrong, or he knows something. I guarantee it.
And if you have any lingering doubts that "George Santos" ISN'T a #FloridaMan, well, here:
