Ex-con Congressman George Santos seeks delayed sentencing to fund fines via podcast, facing prosecution opposition.

Former U.S. Representative George Santos, who pleaded guilty to fraud and identity theft, is seeking a delay in his sentencing to generate funds for his fines through his podcast "Pants on Fire." Santos argues that the podcast can help him meet his repayment obligations. However, prosecutors oppose the delay, calling it speculative and noting Santos has already earned over $800,000 from Cameo and a documentary. They argue that postponing sentencing sends a message that crime pays.
