Rep. George Santos, R-NY, reportedly raised at least one six figure investment for a Florida company the SEC has since accused of operating as a Ponzi scheme.

" Maroney used investor money to enrich himself and his family, and to perpetuate the Ponzi scheme by making payments of fictitious returns to existing investors using other investor funds," the suit continues. "Specifically, of the $17.1 million raised from Harbor City’s investors, Maroney misappropriated more than $4.88 million for his own personal use."

U.S. Rep.-elect Matt Gaetz talks to Rep.-elect George Santos in the House Chamber during the second day of elections for Speaker of the House at the U.S. Capitol Building on January 04, 2023 in Washington, DC. The investigation into Maroney's company is ongoing no criminal charges have been filed. Santos did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

George Santos' backers include a migrant smuggler, a big Trump donor and the cousin of a sanctioned Russian oligarchGOP Rep. George Santos’ donors include a migrant smuggler and a Russian oligarch’s cousin. Here’s what to know. None of this is suprising. 🇷🇺 Any other foreigners about done with US political news? This country is a joke. It's quite honestly, a nation of children. Armed children. It's so immature & foolish I just can't stand watching the ongoing American idiocy any longer. Get it together America. Fix yourselves. The Citizens United case from 2010 has caused this mess. Foreign dollars funding US politicians. The country used to have relatively agreed upon standards, and a proven fraud like this would have been run out of town a long time ago. (R) s have lowered standards.
