How George Santos Got His Money

November 17, 2023 at 10:08 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Daily Beast: “They uncovered what appears to be an illegal pass-through scheme involving hundreds of thousands of dollars in illicit contributions that Santos funneled to his campaign from business clients—perhaps without their knowledge.”

“Santos also appears to have taken the scheme a step further, personally reaping tens of thousands of dollars after he was elected to Congress.”

You’ll Really Hate How Scammers Get Your Number

In politics, nothing is more valuable than voter data. Scammers know that too. They’re not guessing your number — they’re buying your personal information from the same kinds of data brokers that fuel political targeting. Your phone, your email, even the clues about your habits and interests… all of it gets packaged, sold, and used to come after you.

Incogni cuts off that pipeline. It automatically forces data brokers to delete your information, shutting down the lists scammers rely on. Think of it as your own personal opposition-research blackout: once you’re off their rolls, you’re a much harder target.

If they can’t find you, they can’t scam you.
