New York Firm Checks Eyes on False George Santos Scandal

The screening firm is banking on the scandal of serially deceitful spokesman George Santos to spur business, warning potential customers they don’t want Santos to be “tipped.”

SRA screening – background check firm in Manhattan which conducts criminal, judicial, automotive and credit investigations, mostly for private firms, is launching a new social media ad campaign saying, “Don’t take SANTOS’D. Call SRA Screening before hiring.”

“Santos is a gift that keeps on giving,” said SRA’s John Sherman. “It was a wonderful story.

“I know how easy it is to avoid something like the Santos scandal,” he said. “We would have known in minutes that Santos was a fraud.”

Sherman said it’s hard for screening firms to verify a candidate’s background without the person’s consent, and that should change.

“The founder is the employer. That’s who the politicians work for. If people want to do a background check, they should be able to do a background check,” he said.

He said he was willing to do some free background checks on members of Congress or candidates running for Congress to prevent more situations with Santos.

Santos admitted during an interview with the Post in December that he fabricated his resume, including when he said he had a degree from Baruch College, worked at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, owned 13 properties and had close ties to Jewish culture.

“I said I was Jewish,” Santos replied to The Post.

Nassau County Republican Party Chairman Joseph Cairo acknowledged that the Republican Party had not sufficiently verified Santos’ background and also called for his resignation.

The House Ethics Committee is investigating Santos for his fabrications.

Federal, state, and county investigations are also assessing whether he violated campaign finance law, with investigators specifically looking at more than $700,000 originally listed in the documents as personal loans to his campaign.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, while in DC last week, joined the bipartisan chorus of elected officials calling for Santos to step down. She did not invite Santos to a meeting she had with a New York congressional delegation.

Meanwhile, Utah Senator Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, told Santos he “doesn’t belong here” during an exchange on the floor of the House of Representatives before President Biden delivered his State of the Union address last week. position in the country.
