You were in a car crash and you lost your hair

People throw around the phrase “pathological liar,” but then you run into the real thing:
At this point, by far the most important question to answer is, how did Santos go from being penniless in 2020 to having millions of dollars a few months later, more than $700,000 of which he lent to his own campaign?
As a candidate in 2020, in a filing to the U.S. House clerk, George Santos disclosed no assets or income — just that he’d been compensated in excess of $5,000 by LinkBridge Investors.
Two years later, in a filing ahead of a race he’d go on to win, Santos disclosed an apartment in Rio de Janeiro, checking and savings accounts and dividends from his eponymous Devolder Organization of between $1 million and $5 million.
That, in addition to a salary of three-quarters of a million dollars.
“I’m opening my own shop,” Santos had explained Monday on Political Personalities with Skye with host Skye Ostreicher. “I’m going to do my own consulting like I used to do for LinkBridge. And it just worked because I had the relationships and I started making a lot of money. I fundamentally started building wealth.”
The finances of George Anthony Devolder-Santos, including how he came so quickly into wealth, are under scrutiny as the Republican congressman-elect admits to fabricating much of his backstory.
“Did I embellish my resume? Yes, I did. And I’m sorry,” he told Ostreicher.
Santos acknowledged essentially lying about where he graduated from school, the financial firms he worked at, the fact that he was formerly married to a woman and whether his family escaped the Holocaust.
“I always joke, I’m Catholic, but I’m also Jew-ish,” he told Ostreicher.
But the few interviews Santos granted Monday did not cover in-depth his company and how he made his money.
Fillings from the Florida Department of State show Devolder Organization was registered as an LLC in 2019 a couple of months before Santos launched a bid for Congress a second time.
They also show Santos filed for a reinstatement earlier this month a day after the Times investigation broke.
Democratic Congressman-elect Dan Goldman is calling for federal investigations in Santos.
“Given all of his lying,” Goldman told NY1 on Tuesday, “was he also using this very new entity that all of the sudden increased his net wealth into the millions, from having no net wealth in 2020, was this created in order to avoid the campaign finance laws?”
Santos’ Federal Election Commission filings for his 2022 campaign show he loaned more than $700,000 to his bid, nearly as much as his Devolder Organization salary.
That practically no elected Republicans are even asking for investigation of this guy indicates the extent to which the contemporary GOP has devolved into a straight up racket.
