Teen Romanced by George Santos: He Lied to Me, Too

A man who was 18 years old when he began dating and then moved in with George Santos—while the future congressman was married to a woman—says he was lied to, too.

“He used to say he would get money from Citigroup, he was an investor,” Pedro Vilarva told The New York Times of his 2014 romance with Santos, who was then 26. “One day it’s one thing, one day it’s another thing. He never ever actually went to work.”

Vilarva said Santos once gave him tickets to Hawaii that did not exist—and then he found out he was wanted on theft charges in Brazil.

“I woke up in the morning, and I packed my stuff all in trash bags, and I called my father and I left,” he said.

What mental disorder causes compulsive lying?
Pathological lying is a symptom of various personality disorders, including antisocial, narcissistic, and histrionic personality disorders. Other conditions, such as borderline personality disorder, may also lead to frequent lies, but the lies themselves are not considered pathological.

Being sent to Military School because they could not control him increased his paranoia, so he increasingly lied until it became a part of him. Much like a kid who wants attention any way he can get it. Trump still does that today but is floundering now.

It could be more devastating than Covid. It's called being a Republican in the Trump Era.

Sociopaths are made. What in this little underwear stain's life was so traumatic that it would make him turn out this way?

Sociopathy doesn't begin to cover it, but psychopathy will.

…has a significant history of resume gaps; yet has somehow managed to get to this place.

How?

Someone is supporting Santos with even a basic allowance…

Who?
