On Friday, April 25, George Santos learned his fate, at his fraud sentencing in federal court. He had two years since his indictment to walk the walk, demonstrate extreme remorse and acceptance, and take meaningful steps to address the problems that got him here and convince a judge he wouldn’t make the same mistakes again.
But the government painted him as an unrepentant fraudster who was bound to reoffend, and the judge agreed, giving him a sentence at the very high-end of the guidelines.
Therefore, Mark Allenbaugh and I went live on YouTube to conduct one of our world-famous “sentencing post-mortems” to break down the good, the bad and the ugly of the George Santos sentencing.
