George Santos has been sentenced to over seven years in prison for wire fraud, identity theft, money laundering, and theft of public funds. Instead of showing remorse, he has been vocal against prosecutors, alleging conspiracy against him. He criticized federal officials involved in his case and claimed blame shifted unfairly to him while exonerating his former campaign treasurer, Nancy Marks. Prosecutors noted his lack of contrition and potential for reoffending, ultimately leading to the lengthy prison sentence.
Santos alleged that "they pinned me as a ring leader and organizer of the actions that took place in my campaign, despite, he claimed, knowing that 'the leader and organizer was my treasurer Nancy Marks.'"
Federal prosecutors argued Santos had "reverted to form" and showed a "strong risk of recidivism and a lack of remorse," leading to the sentence granted by the judge.
