George Santos is already back filming Cameo videos after having his seven-year sentence for fraud charges commuted by President Donald Trump.
According to a Cameo notification revealing his account has been reactivated, Santos is ready to film more of his popular personalized messages that have already earned him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Though his profile says that his last video was completed in July, it appears that he’s taking requests and working on new videos.
On Friday (October 17), President Trump took to Truth Social to announce that Santos had received a commutation. "George Santos was somewhat of a 'rogue,' but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison," he wrote.
"George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated," the President continued. "Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life."
Santos had surrendered on July 25 to serve his 87-month prison sentence. Before he turned himself in, Santos revealed to Al Arabiya English that he’d requested a pardon from Trump, but he believed he "got stonewalled."
"I don’t think it made it to the president," Santos said of his request. "Unfortunately, gatekeepers have blockaded for it to ever get to the president."
"Mr. President, I am not asking for sympathy. I am asking for fairness — for the chance to rebuild," Santos wrote. "I know I have made mistakes in my past. I have faced my share of consequences, and I take full responsibility for my actions. But no man, no matter his flaws, deserves to be lost in the system, forgotten and unseen, enduring punishment far beyond what justice requires."
In August of 2024, Santos pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud charges related to activity from his 2022 midterm campaign. When he was sentenced, in addition to the time he had to serve in prison, Santos was ordered to pay $374,000 in restitution and was ordered to forfeit more than $205,000 that he earned through fraud.
In January of this year, prosecutors in his case claimed that Santos made more than $400,000 by selling personalized videos on Cameo despite his claims that he wouldn’t immediately be able to pay his forfeiture and restitution.
