It appears, according to emails obtained by WaPo, that at least one other investor reached out to Santos—then going by George Devolder—to explain that the Deutsche Bank letter was a fraud.

Despite multiple warnings, Santos stayed at the Ponzi scheme.

Harbor City called George Santos a ‘perfect fit.’ The SEC called the company a fraud.

@RobertMaguire is this the same smoke and mirrors the ftx (or similar) just tried. Take users money, put it in insured bank, risk/steal/spend the money while claiming its safe because the ftx amounts are insured by the deposit location.

Blending investment and banking is so shady

Yep. Local media (and the DCCC) wrote about him but big MSM failed to pick it up.
