Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes. When George Santos came crashing onto the scene he advertised himself as a “walking, living, breathing, contradiction” to Republicans. He didn’t mention that he was also a con man. But, with the swipe of a keyboard and the release of one groundbreaking New York Times article the truth finally came out. Almost everything the politician had said about his life had been a lie, and we have no clue who he really is. Now, new stories seem to come out by the day and the situation just keeps getting worse.

0:00.0	There's a con man in Congress, or maybe he's just an impulsive liar. Oh, wait, no, maybe it's that he's a fraudster.
0:12.6	Well, maybe we just don't know who he is.
0:15.4	But one thing we do know is that he is not his biography.
0:20.5	But who could I be talking about exactly?
0:23.0	Well, it's George Santos, if that even is his real name.
0:27.0	And at first, I kind of thought that was just a funny little joke to throw in the script.
0:31.0	But no, seriously, George Santos might actually for real, not even
0:35.5	be his real name. His legal name literally can't be confirmed, and we're pretty damn sure
0:40.5	it's Anthony Devolder, but that's just the beginning of this mess.
0:45.8	The walking, living, breathing contradiction, as he's been called, Republican Congressman.
0:51.2	His original biography was inspiring and perfect for someone in the political space,
0:55.7	almost too perfect. Almost like it was specifically designed to make people feel for him and
1:01.0	root for him to win. But that's just crazy talk, right?
1:04.8	No one would really just make up their entire life story to release the most
1:09.9	perfect story in order to get elected into politics, right? Well, about that.
1:14.7	According to George Santos, he grew up the son of immigrants. His mother was in the
1:19.3	South Tower on September 11th, 2001.
1:23.0	And depending on who you ask, she might have died that day, but she also may have died a few years
1:27.6	later.
1:28.6	We're a little fuzzy on the details apparently.
1:30.9	Now after surviving that horrific occurrence, Santos did everything in his power to become a well-educated successful
