Federal prosecutors are questioning Santos' claims regarding his financial situation, arguing he hasn't made any payments since changing his plea despite earning substantial income.
Santos claimed that his financial outlook would improve with a new podcast, describing it as 'a promising revenue stream', but prosecutors found his financial assertions speculative.
Despite a previous income of $400,000 from Cameo and another $400,000 from a documentary, Santos has not demonstrated a viable path to meet his restitution obligations.
Santos, who fabricated much of his life story and became the sixth congressman ever expelled from office, was ordered to pay $578,752.94 in restitution and forfeiture.
