more details on George Santos - he doesn't like to pay back debts
He did not hesitate when Mr. Santos said that he needed to borrow several thousand dollars to move in with his boyfriend, and lent him the money in September 2014, court documents show. Not long afterward, Mr. Hamilton said, Mr. Santos stopped responding to his texts and calls.
Mr. Hamilton filed a case in small claims court in Queens to seek repayment in 2015. In October of that year, Mr. Santos responded, saying that the money had been repaid and that it was not a loan but a favor. A judge agreed with Mr. Hamilton, however, and issued a judgment of $5,000 plus interest.

In June 2014, their landlord accused Mr. Santos, his mother and his sister of owing three months in unpaid rent. The parties reached an agreement, but the family was evicted in August after the landlord said they had not paid on time, court records show.
The following year, another landlord in Queens filed an eviction case, saying Mr. Santos owed her $2,250 in rent. In 2017, he faced another eviction lawsuit, this time from a landlord in the Sunnyside neighborhood who said Mr. Santos owed months of rent and a fee for a bounced check. He was ultimately ordered to pay more than $12,000.
The next year, in December 2018, Discover Bank won a default judgment against Mr. Santos for $1,927.45 in credit card debt, court records show. His last payment had been made in February of that year, for just $34.

Mr. Santos told Newsday in March 2022 that he had left the Whitestone home, purportedly because of the vandalism, though he refused to share a new address. But Ms. Pothos said that Mr. Santos had not moved out until August and asserted that she had to spend $17,000 to repair severe damage left behind.
