The stupidest kind of insider trading

What a colossal dipshit.

Has Mitch McConnell placed a bet on whether he’s dead?

Put him in prison!

The president commits 100x more fraudulent acts than George Santos.

the grift never stops with this dick

This guy can never catch a break for the smallest stuff! All because he’s Greek and Gay. Major illegal discrimination!

At the end of the day, no one cares either way if he went or not however, glad he's having the day he deserves.

Steal millions, pay 35k Now nobody can sue him again for the same crime

All of them. Corruption is like breathing. And they think they're invincible, which, so far, they kind of are. Make 100k, pay 35k. That's not consequences, that's a Republican business plan. They're laughing at us.

So he made more money than he was fined?

The ever-accelerating “boom and bust” cycles of end stage capitalism are driven almost entirely by insider trading schemes. Collusion and price fixing are looked at most often, but insider trading dwarfs the combined effects of both in terms of guiding the “invisible hand.”

These loosely-if-at-all regulated online prediction markets exist for the sole purpose of creating the sort of networks for insider trading the parasite class has always dreamt of in their wettest of dreams. They don’t realize in their short-sighted gluttonous frenzy that it could be their undoing

How much profit did he make when you deduct the fine?

Ответ для molecule-mind

Apparently he’s in the hole. Disgorged Profits: $17,569.98 (the exact amount he must forfeit) Civil Monetary Fine: $17,500.00 Total Cost: $35,069.98

Judges should be charging millionaires and billionaires a lot more than thousands of $$$…

Santos misses his prison cell and wants to go back to it.

George Santos keeps finding new ways to end up in the headlines. Public officials shouldn’t be profiting from inside information or the perception that they are. Accountability shouldn’t end with a fine—it should reinforce that public trust isn’t a commodity to be traded.

Why isn’t this POS loser in jail?

Excellent precedent. I think we will find use for it.

He just can’t help himself

Does he have security? How can he afford security?

George will be appearing on Reality TV because this is America and we can’t read books then we confuse reality with TV characters

So how about the other inside traders that are currently elected officials , connected to them by appointment to jobs or family members of the current administrative branch.

My prediction is that EVERY one of the criminals that Trump pardoned will recommit another crime within the next 5 years. It’s staggering how many victims got screwed out of their restitution by Trumps corrupt pardons.

George Santos? Ah! He's CRUEL TRICK OF NATURE. But then, most all RePUKElicans are. And to think Long Island voted for this miserable SHIT. Are/were Long Islanders just stupid or just RePUKElican?

So what about Trump, sons and friends doing insider trading

There are people in prison for being homeless or for stealing a little food so they don't starve, and yet obvious pieces of shit like Santos who cannot stop committing crimes are walking around free. And we wonder why American society is fucked up.

Trump commuted his sentence for the prior crimes he committed.

Seems like the market should be fined. The market openly allows insider trading whereas other markets are forbidden and are supposed to have rules to prevent or punish. How many friends, family members and others were able to place bets on his behalf?

1) You should go to prison for stuff like this, not get slapped with fines. 2) As horrific a person as he is, seems absurd to single him out for this when it’s been open season for elected officials to insider trade, including the president.

Fuck that dude AND fuck the homophobic republicans who only prosecute the gay republicans.

😅

He'll probably pay with a stolen credit card from some granny he fleeced out of her Social Security check.

D

His entire life is a tissue of fraud and other crimes, it's all he knows; just like Trump.

lol wild fine for that?

He got out of prison. Scammed veterans. And he's still free. Stealing and scamming more.

This whole administration down to Don and Eric are all guilty

Please send this man back to jail.

Sick puppy -Mitt Romney

If he made more than $35k then it looks like George has found a reliable new revenue stream.

🐍

He should be deported to El Salvador. He is a true criminal.

Who cares what the fine was how much did he make off the bed?

Of course he did , figuring on another pardon

R

Cool. Now do something about Trump's new insider trading platform on TruthSocial. For $100k/mo, you can get a head start on his next Iran bombing mission and sell your oil stocks before the suckers know what's hit them.

How funny they got the guy with the name Santos, but the white guys are walking around untouched.

A true Republican.

how much did he make?

Grifters gotta grift

Has Trump pardoned him Yet?

Ответ для tshenkman

No, but he commuted his sentence for the prior crimes. That's why he's not in jail right now.

Only $35G. Amazing. Isn't this proof of a broken Judiciary.

Prison is empty, and all the president’s crooks are here.

This is not a fine it's profit sharing. Ain't no way the dude made less than 35k on a sure fire bet.

I'm surprised he has not been given a position in the administration yet

Man, George Pedro Pascal Santos just can’t catch a break.

Leopards do NOT change their spots. He gets a “get out of jail free” card and once he’s out he continues to crime.

There all criminals and can't be trusted.

Should have gone back to jail

But tRump and his cronies?

The man just can not catch a break. Actually seeing enforcement on this is just funny considering the state of the federal government.

He’s living his best life.

I am not complaining but why is George the only MAGA idiot actually being charged with crimes??

He still should be in jail for tax evasion

Career Criminal.

How can he afford to do any of this stuff?

Dude's a lifelong freaking con artist. He'll end up back in prison before we know it. 🚮 🤷🏽

Just like Trump, I think is is unbelievable that George Santos is not in jail.

Ответ для LenapeDevil

George Santos was in jail, until Trump got him released.

**Yawn** He’ll be pardoned as soon as he’s convicted. #TrumpDestroysJustice

He’s gonna have to do a shit ton of videos on Cameo to cover that bill, maybe even get back into drag and do some lip-syncing

I guess he hasn't kissed the ring lately.

And what about Tom Kean? He was doing the EXACT SAME THING while lying about an illness instead of reporting to work.

Making it defacto illegal to take advantage of one's own commidification is pro-slavery logic.

Why is he still in our newsfeeds? Make this loser go away!

What a fucked up country that America has become when we have s POS like George Santos in the new sttill.

How much did Santos make on the bet?

Jail him up.

This is exciting, I can’t wait until they investigate the trumpf family for insider trading… I’m holding my breath

Another “No Hoper” of this MagaT regime’s abysmal cesspool of crooks and liars.

Not an authentic bone in this man's body

Why is he still around Lock him up BTW He is on a reality tv show, mo doubt he place bets on that too #Midterms #VoteBlue #NoKings #Democracy #CountryOverParty #Resistance #HandsOff #FreeSpeach #FreePress #3party #NoWars #IceOut

Trump will probably pardon him again.

What about the Cabinet or Congress?

Dude loves being a grifter and criminal

Some people, uh, idiots, never learn.

Kalshi should be banned.

Wonder who he’s gonna steal the money to pay the fine from.

Pam Bondi sold up to $5.5 million Trump Media stock the day Trump announced tariffs causing the same stock to lose appx 13% of its value over next few days. Please investigate why no NY prosecutor has opened a case. @marthastewartt.bsky.social

You know ⁠why ​I’m profiting? Because the ​stock market’s going up, everybody’s profiting 🫠

Known criminal continues criming. Who'd have thunk?

He’s addicted to grift.

This guy never seems to catch a break.

What are the odds he will steal puppies from the Amish again?

So when do we hold Trump responsible for placing bets on which days he bombs Iran?

#30million8/30 Waiting for the media to correct the mistake? Waiting for politicians to correct the mistake? Waiting for midterms to correct the mistake? Waiting for you to take to the streets and do something by showing we are a large force should not be a waiting game.

What a FKing joke!

Why cant we just deport this ugly piece of shit back to Brazil? He is a waste of space!!!

Are these prediction markets somehow like the stock market or something? I mean, under what legal standing is law enforcement getting involved? It's just some website some guy set up and let people place bets and put money in escrow isn't it? How is it ANYTHING subject to "anti-fraud law"?

Time to set up an American Criminal Court of Justice to try and indict and prison Trump and all his henchmen. There should be no mercy. Notify GOP now and give them something to fear, ACCJ NO, we do not need permission from the "government" There is no Republican Party; it sold its soul to Trump.

You really cannot make this stuff up. A federal regulator having to officially fine a former lawmaker $35,000 because he placed bets on a prediction market about whether or not he would show up to the State of the Union is peak modern politics. It’s hard to even process the reality of this headline

Can anyone else think of a word for something built to accept human crap?? Rhymes with oilet.

Why just him?

Isn't that a violation of his pardon?

Was he pardoned just to give TFG new ideas on how to bamboozle the America? Santos is in a league of his own when it comes to committing fraud.

Once a grifter, always a grifter

The US is so effed up ...

can we just go to fucking jail

POS

So they need to check all the representatives and the mob boss

Can't we just bury that motherfucker up to his neck in goose shit and leave him there for a couple years? Asking for a friend.

This man belongs in prison for good.

#MAGA loves its corrupt leaders.

Federal charge? Pardon coming in 3….2….1

What Trump supporters forget, like George Santos, they can't get away with the same insider trading that the Trump administration does 🤷

Now do Trump

...and doubles as the Senator from Wyoming!

Ответ для Wine is my muse

Wow is this George Santos?

He's still here with BS... Trying to be like the F'D administration. Why not CHOOSE a different hobby FWADS. Peace

George Santos can’t seem to stop himself from committing crimes, especially financial, & he pays very little in terms of consequences.

And no ban on public service? #FUCKTHATGUY!

At what point does he go to jail again?

an idiot embarrassing Brasil

So many scam artists wear the mask of governance and authority.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh what a surprise. A serial criminal still criming.

Oh! Good!

They'll do anything to steal a buck.

His stupidity is off the charts
