Some of this is damning in a fairly sickening way. The starting point seems understandable: > In November 2015, a landlord in the Whitestone neighborhood of Queens filed an eviction suit in housing court accusing Mr. Santos of owing $2,250 in unpaid rent. > In May 2017, ... Mr. Santos’s landlord accused him of owing more than $10,000 in rent ... and said ... one of his tenant’s checks had bounced. Okay. Poverty can catch folks out. I can imagine how he got into that situation. But then this: > early 2021, ... Mr. Santos said on Twitter that he was a landlord affected by the freeze. "Will we landlords ever be able to take back possession of our property?" > Mr. Santos said that he and his family had not been paid rent on their 13 properties in nearly a year, adding that he had offered rental assistance to some tenants, but found that some were "flat out taking advantage of the situation." > But Mr. Santos has not listed properties in New York on required financial disclosure forms ... Property records databases ... did not show any documents or deeds associated with him. I can at least understand heartlessness from ignorance but this. He practically narrates his own story but then reboots it so that he's the victimized landlord (over seemingly fictitious tenants). I couldn't generate enough contempt to properly cover the sheer volume of his disingenuousness.
