""I offer my deepest apologies," and adding, "I cannot rewrite the past, but I can control the road ahead.""
""He admitted to engaging in a brazen crime spree that took place over a period of years.""
""Where is your remorse? Where do I see it?" said Judge Seybert in response to Santos' pleas."

George Santos, former US representative, was sentenced to seven years and three months in prison for wire fraud and identity theft. Pleading guilty to avoid a larger trial, Santos expressed regret but the judge questioned his sincerity, highlighting a lack of remorse. Prosecutors described his actions as a 'brazen crime spree,' including stealing identities from campaign donors and targeting vulnerable individuals. Despite being ordered to pay restitution of $370,000, Santos has yet to repay any victims, further questioning his accountability and remorse for his actions.
