George Santos Back in Fed’s Crosshairs—Insider Trading Investigation

George Santos cannot catch a break. The disgraced ex-congressman, who’s already a convicted felon, is now under federal investigation for alleged insider trading. Because apparently one scandal wasn’t enough.

The Department of Justice is reportedly digging into whether Santos made illegal trades based on non-public information. For someone who just finished dealing with his last set of federal headaches, this is… not ideal timing.

Santos has already faced serious legal trouble—we’re talking fraud, identity theft, and a whole mess of campaign finance violations. He’s basically the gift that keeps on giving to the DOJ’s case files. Now federal investigators are looking at whether he used privileged information to make trades he shouldn’t have been making in the first place.

The investigation is still in its early stages, but if prosecutors find what they’re looking for, Santos could be staring down yet another round of federal charges. Because convicted felon apparently wasn’t his final form.
