Beautiful reference. I'm sure Santos will be fine, he's a 12 time Olympic gold medalist, Winner of the 23rd Budokai Tenkaichi and President of Shinra. He's untouchable

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — George Santos, who was expelled from Congress as he faced nearly two dozen criminal charges, reached a plea deal Monday with federal prosecutors in New York on two federal counts.
Santos pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
A judge has said the plea deal may come with an estimated sentencing range between 6-8 years. He's set for sentencing Feb. 7 at federal court in Central Islip.
Santos spoke in court, acknowledging a series of crimes, CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reported. He admitted fraudulently using credit cards of at least one other person for his personal benefit, as well as making false statements to the Federal Election Commission.
He also admitted to committing wire fraud between Sept-Oct of 2022.
Under the agreement, Santos will have to repay at least $373,000.

But as the King Of Games, he's immune to prosecution. This is a miscarriage of justice!
George Santos? The guy I discovered Ray Brower's body with? Sure, we never got the credit. In the end we decided that an anonymous phone-call was the best thing to do. We headed home. And although many thoughts raced through our minds, we barely spoke. We walked through the night and made it back to Castle Rock a little past five o'clock on Sunday morning, the day before Labor Day. We'd only been gone two days. But somehow the town seemed different. Smaller.
As time went on we saw less and less of Teddy and Vern until eventually they became just two more faces in the halls. That happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant. I heard that Vern got married out of High-school, had four kids and is now the forklift operator at the Arsenal Lumberyard. Teddy tried several times to get into the Army but his eyes and his ear kept him out. The last I heard, he'd spent some time in jail. He was now doing odd jobs around Castle Rock.
George did get out, though. He enrolled in the college courses with me. And although it was hard, he gutted it out like he always did. He went on to college and eventually became a lawyer. Last week he entered a fast food restaurant. Just ahead of him, two men got into an argument. One of them pulled a knife. He, who would always make the best peace, tried to break it up. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly. Although I haven't seen him in more than ten years, I know I'll miss him forever. I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anybody?

Considering we have people like Pablo Marçal here in Brazil, I think he can even win a place in Brazil's politics.
George Santos? The guy who invented basketball and went on to hold its all-time scoring record? If he can't catch a break, what hope is there for the rest of us??
What has this country come to? The Founding Fathers would've been so upset at this treatment of one of their own

George Washington Santos doesn't not tell no lies. He's basically thee Architect of the Matrix. Some of you should be ashamed.
Jesus Christ a Romy & Michele reference in 2024How could they do this to the inventor of Post-it?
bless you
Harsh words for the man who is next in line for the throne.
George Santos? The man who painted the sistine chapel in a few hours and built the pyramids with his bare hands? That George Santos?
Lol how jail stories are gonna be awesome.

My uncle, Gregory M Pantos (real name George Santos), the one who works at Nintendo? Say it's not so!
He'll be fine in jail. It's not his first time.
He escaped once already after digging a hole in his cell wall with a spoon and hiding it behind a picture of Doris Day.
This was after he cured a guard's kidney stone.
I think you're confusing him with his twin brother, the man in the iron mask.
Damn I thought that was the other triplet, the man with the iron fists?
My favorite thing are people who troll and boast that they're not going to get into trouble because they're innocent and soon they'll be cleared - and then they're facing a dozen years in prison. This insufferable shit-head is one of those people.
