George is out! 311 to 114, with senior GQP leadership voting against expulsion. He's only the sixth to ever be expelled from Congress in our history, and the first member of Congress in modern times to be expelled without being convicted of a crime. Hey, they waited until the (56-page) Ethics Committee Report to come out.

We need a new #turing test. Not for #androids, they're decent enough people - no, I'd like to know whether I am accidentally dealing with George #Santos or, worse, if I am Anthony #Devolder myself.

The #horror.

George Santos appears to admit drag queen past in Wiki post

A user with the name Anthony Devolder wrote in 2011 that they won several drag pageants. Anthony Devolder is a Santos alias.

POLITICO

#sanfrancisco residents: Hedge fund manager Bill Duhamel and his wife, arts producer Kate Duhamel, donated a total of $11,600 to Santos’ successful 2022 campaign, according to Federal Election Commission records. They each donated $2,900 to Santos last August and again in September.

Disabled Veteran: George Santos Took $3K From Dying Dog's GoFundMe

Two New Jersey veterans say George Santos promised to raise funds for a lifesaving surgery for a service dog — then disappeared.

Patch

While it's nice to see the NYT digging a bit more into #Devolder, the apparent source of phony baloney Rep. George Santos' mysterious wealth, I was hoping they'd do more than scratch the surface of the #Devolder organization and the people tied to that org.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/12/nyregion/george-santos-donors-fund-raising.html

e.g., it's fair to mention that the two addresses and one organization listed on the #devolder incorporation documents in Fla. all involve a guy named Devaughn Dames, who was CFO of the Harbor City -- the company that the SEC said was a ponzi scheme (and where Santos was a "regional director" quoted in press releases for the company.

Dames' vanity website redirects visitors to a "financial education" business that the FTC sued last summer for allegedly being a $213 million pyramid scheme.

More about Dames' current business -- Round Table Partners - which used the same phone number as the Harbor City ponzi scheme:

The Mysterious Campaign Fund That Raised Big Money for George Santos

Do you know how many times I've heard over the past few days how much the media is failing to follow the money in this story about the newly elected Rep. George Santos? This story makes it clear that's exactly what happened. https://www.theleaderonline.com/single-post/santos-filings-now-claim-net-worth-of-11-million (edit: replaced the paywalled WaPo story about how the MSM missed the big scoop with the big scoop itself). So let's follow the money, shall we? Starting with Mr. Santos' latest filing for The Devolder Organization, which is apparently responsible for his sudden unexplained wealth (Devolder is Santos' late mother's last name). http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ConvertTiffToPDF?storagePath=COR%5C2021%5C0601%5C00184778.Tif&documentNumber=L21000206150 The organization lists its address as 336 N. Babcock St. Ste 104. The document also lists another organization at the same address but at Ste 101, called D&D International Investment Services Inc. Both are affiliated with an individual named Devaughn Dames, who appears to be both a physician and a CFO somehow. He's also very passionate about spreading his knowledge about how to handle your money wisely. His linkedin page mentions both companies. He also seems to be an IT expert; previous domains include https://web.archive.org/web/20160518071721/http://www.manageditsolutions.net/about.html One of Mr. Dames' email addresses (dev.dames at gmail) was used to register the vanity domain devaughndames[.]com. Firefox didn't like what that site tried to do when I visited it, but it loaded an empty page that had the heading "Financial Educational Services." But the pop-up takes you to a domain called myuwe[.]net, which is for an entity called United Wealth Education. Now, UWE is full of stock photos and videos, and there isn't much there about who runs it. And after spending a few minutes on this site, you'll probably come away with the conclusion that the site is tied to some type of scam. Well, if you look up the name of what Myuwe[.]net used to be called -- Financial Educational Services -- you'll see they were shut down JUST THIS YEAR by the US Federal Trade Commission for being a giant pyramid scheme that bilked people out of more than $213 million. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/05/ftc-shuts-down-credit-repair-pyramid-scheme-financial-education-services-which-bilked-more-213 How's that for following the money? :) Wait, I'm not done yet.
