He is at least finally making an honest living now on Cameo. He's selling his videos for $500 each and people are buying.
I saw before that Sarah Palin was making $200,000 a year on Cameo.
It's a crazy world. moo

bumping up again - anything happen at the last hearing? Any new hearing dates? TIA if anyone can help me!
This NY Times article, dated 21st Dec, says that last week his lawyer told the judge he has been in negotiations with prosecutors about paths they might take to conclude the case without going to trial.
It also says that Santos is next due in court on 23rd January.
Coming Soon: A George Santos Documentary Focusing on His ‘Human Side’
The filmmaker, Jenner Furst, will pay Mr. Santos an archival material fee, an arrangement similar to the one he used with Billy McFarland, the subject of “Fyre Fraud.”

Has the thrill worn off for his $500.00 Cameos?
How the hell is he paying for his legal defense?
What a guy, thinks he's entitled to a plea deal with no jail time.

Grand Jury Returns New Superseding Indictment Against George Santos
The expelled, former congressman will not have additional charges tacked on to his indictment, the U.S. Attorney said.
A grand jury on Tuesday returned a second superseding indictment against former congressman George Santos in the Eastern District of New York.
U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said the new superseding indictment "does not allege new criminal conduct, charge the defendant with new crimes or make new substantive allegations against the defendant."
Instead, Peace said in the court document the added indictment would be to correct Scrivener's errors and make other minor changes ahead of the anticipated Sept. 9 trial.

12/12/23 Update: Santos' lawyer told the judge he has been in negotiations with prosecutors about paths they might take to conclude the case without going to trial. Santos is next due in court on 1/23/24.
1/23/24 Update: Santos added two lawyers to his legal team and prosecutors asked the judge to give the parties time "to pursue plea negotiations." Prosecutors said in a prior court filing in December they were working with Santos "with the goal of resolving this matter without the need for a trial." The prosecution also said Monday they were planning to turn over another 6,000 pages of documents as part of discovery. They also asked the judge to set a schedule for pretrial motions. Santos is currently scheduled to stand trial in September. He was denied a motion to move the trial up to June in a December court appearance. Prosecutors said there was no need for another status conference until just before the start of trial so there is time "for the parties to pursue plea negotiations." Next status hearing on 8/13/24.
6/4/24 Update: A grand jury on Tuesday returned a second superseding indictment against Santos in the Eastern District of New York. U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said the new superseding indictment "does not allege new criminal conduct, charge the defendant with new crimes or make new substantive allegations against the defendant." Instead, Peace said in the court document the added indictment would be to correct Scrivener's errors & make other minor changes ahead of the anticipated Sept. 9 trial. Peace said the second superseding indictment is "materially indistinguishable from the first superseding indictment."

12/12/23 Update: Santos' lawyer told the judge he has been in negotiations with prosecutors about paths they might take to conclude the case without going to trial. Santos is next due in court on 1/23/24.
1/23/24 Update: Santos added two lawyers to his legal team and prosecutors asked the judge to give the parties time "to pursue plea negotiations." Prosecutors said in a prior court filing in December they were working with Santos "with the goal of resolving this matter without the need for a trial." The prosecution also said Monday they were planning to turn over another 6,000 pages of documents as part of discovery. They also asked the judge to set a schedule for pretrial motions. Santos is currently scheduled to stand trial in September. He was denied a motion to move the trial up to June in a December court appearance. Prosecutors said there was no need for another status conference until just before the start of trial so there is time "for the parties to pursue plea negotiations." Next status hearing on 8/13/24.
6/4/24 Update: A grand jury on Tuesday returned a second superseding indictment against Santos in the Eastern District of New York. U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said the new superseding indictment "does not allege new criminal conduct, charge the defendant with new crimes or make new substantive allegations against the defendant." Instead, Peace said in the court document the added indictment would be to correct Scrivener's errors & make other minor changes ahead of the anticipated Sept. 9 trial. Peace said the second superseding indictment is "materially indistinguishable from the first superseding indictment."

His trial was scheduled to start on Sept. 9 but has been pushed back to Sept. 16. It is expected to last four weeks and will include three dozen prosecution witnesses.

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — The fraud trial against former U.S. Rep. George Santos, slated to start in a matter of weeks, is coming into focus after a federal judge ruled Tuesday that jurors will have their identities kept secret from the public.
They won’t, however, be required to fill out a written questionnaire gauging their opinions of Santos when they arrive for jury selection Sept. 9, as his lawyers had requested.
and this one:

Judge Joanna Seybert confirmed the trial will begin Sept. 9 with jury selection. Lawyers for both sides said the trial is expected to last three weeks.
So - 2 out of 3 articles say 9/9 - so I will go with that....
