A new indictment filed Tuesday charged U.S. Rep. George Santos with stealing the identities of donors to his campaign and then using their credit cards to ring up tens of thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges.

Prosecutors said some of that stolen money ended up in his own bank account.

The 23-count indictment replaces one filed earlier against the New York Republican charging him with embezzling money from his campaign and lying to Congress about his wealth, among other offenses.

    It was just gold bullion from his savings account withdrawn over the Years in case of emergency. You know, like we all do.

        Gold is a hedge against inflation. It is only a good idea to buy if the Economy is going to hell. Also, if you are buying gold for anything but ornamentation, do so through better sources as the retail big boxes have too high a mark up and you pay far more than you must and should. In reality, if you have enough money to care about buying gold for “investment”, you should let those decisions be made by a qualified advisor.
