Texas Man Arrested for Attempting to Scam George Santos and Other High-Profile Figures

Hector Medina faces charges of wire fraud after allegedly offering to dismiss criminal charges for money.

Hector Medina, accused of wire fraud, allegedly targeted George Santos, Danny Masterson, and others, claiming he could dismiss their charges for a fee.
Medina, who owes over $100,000 in gambling debts, purportedly used false identities to contact his targets.
The scheme involved sending texts and videos to potential victims, including a bogus offer to Santos for $900,000 to make criminal charges 'disappear.'
Santos, not accused of wrongdoing in this case, reported Medina's attempts to the Justice Department.
If convicted, Medina faces up to 20 years in prison.
