“No matter how hard it is for me, they are crazy because they will never break my spirit,” Santos announced on the X on Friday after the US lawyer ended the court for the Eastern New York district.

Santos has already agreed to serve at least two years in prison, and it was expected to be convicted in February, but asked the court to delay the sentence until he could earn enough money from his Podcasta to pay almost $ 600,000 he owed to restrictions and seizure.

Prosecutors claimed that he had been going out about $ 800,000 from the Cameo appearance, and the previous reports suggested that he charged $ 350 pop for videos containing his dear alter ego Kitar Rawhe. Santos had previously denied that he ever dressed as a queen dear or hanging out with dear queens.
