Reply to comment by bittoxic00 in George Santos' campaign spent more than $26,000 at an Italian restaurant in Queens. That's enough to buy 1,131 orders of the rigatoni bolognese. by MrKleen10
Bingo. Of all his lies, when I saw that number my alarm bells went off because it would be such a simple con. The "money" is already gone and political donors rarely go fishing inside the books of a campaign, win or lose.
And that could be the real twist: brazen con-man wins election when all he was trying to do was fleece some donors.
Netflix, send me my check.

That's what I've said in prior threads, and got downvoted for it. He never really wanted to win, he was just trying to live the lifestyle he thought he deserved off hard to trace donor dollars.

But I believe in his mind he thought he could use real money from donors to pay himself back the fake 700k loan. That even if he didn’t win he could net some big money
Edit: I realized not fully reading your comment while driving caused me to summarize exactly what you said, he definitely just wanted the campaign grift
