George Santos discussed his impending prison sentence of 87 months after being convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. In an interview, he expressed that he would rather serve his time than flee the country. Santos stated he has been labeled a flight risk due to his dual citizenship. He also recalled a confrontation with a reporter who alleged he planned to escape. Santos was expelled from the House in December 2023, further emphasizing his resolve to face his legal consequences.
I know a million people are going to prison. I know more people going to prison than most people, and I always ask everybody the same, like, you don't think you deserve the sentence. You think you got screwed. In your case, I agree with you if the system's not going to be fair, then why do you have to play along the system? Why don't you just split? Carlson asked.
I’m proud. I’m extremely proud. I’d rather go down with the ship. Like the same way that I said put up or shut up and didn’t leave and then quit. I don’t run, I don’t split.
They called me a flight risk and they sequestered my passports because I'm a dual citizen by birth, but I was born here, but my parents are legal immigrants to this country.
I have on good authority that you’re planning to flee in a week or two in a private jet that you arranged. I’m gonna keep it PG here, but I said, and who told you this marvelo.
