As outlined in Slate’s, there are a number of red flags in Santos’ campaign finance filings, of which the biggest is a personal loan of $700,000 or so that he claimed to have given the campaign. The presumable source of that $700,000 was the alleged income Santos received from the Devolder Organization.
