In the weeks after George Santos was elected to represent New York's 3rd Congressional District, major discrepancies in his biography came to light.
The biography on the NRCC site also claimed that Santos worked for companies such as Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. But spokespeople for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup told ABC News that they have no record of Santos ever being employed.
Santos later seemed to backtrack on some of his admissions of actual falsehoods on his resume during a Fox News interview, saying that his claim that he worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup is "debatable" and that Link Bridge, a firm he served as vice president for, did "extensive" business with the two Wall Street giants.
But his 2022 personal financial disclosure report filed as a candidate subsequently showed his fortunes had drastically changed: He owned assets valued between $2.6 million and $11.25 million, including an apartment in Rio de Janeiro, a checking account, and a savings account. Santos did not identify any clients of Devolder on his disclosure form and the company does not appear to have a public presence, such as a website. His campaign website previously called it his "family firm," where he oversaw $80 million in client assets as the managing principal.that he made his money in part by matching sellers of luxury goods like planes and yachts with potential buyers and taking a cut.
