US Senator (R-FL) Marco Rubio
His doppelganger, disgraced Republican George Santos.
Disgraced former Congressman George Santos and doppelganger of Senator Marco Rubio asked a judge on Friday to delay his sentencing in his federal fraud case.
Santos is currently scheduled to be sentenced on 7 Feb 2025 in Central Islip, NY, after pleading guilty to federal fraud, campaign finance and embezzlement charges.
His attorneys asked the judge to postpone the sentencing by six months, until August, to give Santos more time to make money so he can meet the nearly $600,000 he owes in restitution and forfeiture, according to a new court filing.
And who is George Santos going to fleece to come up with $600,000 by August 2025?

OP
When he can't scam the $600,000 by August he will ask for another six months.

Isn't Rudy Ghouliani trying the same delaying tactics with his forfeiture problems?

But he led such a Puritanical, Republican life, who could George Santos possibly blackmail for $600k?
