<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">A federal judge on Long Island agreed Wednesday to delay the sentencing, which had initially been scheduled for Feb. 7 following Santos&#8217; guilty plea last year to federal fraud charges.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Calling it a “one-time courtesy,” the judge granted Santos&#8217; request to push his sentencing &#8212; but not by as much as the former New York representative requested.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The sentencing hearing is now set for April 25.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Santos had asked for an August sentencing to give him time to make money off of his podcast so he can satisfy his restitution and forfeiture.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Santos pleaded guilty in August to charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. As part of his plea, he agreed to pay about $600,000 in forfeiture and restitution.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Santos said he needed an extra six months to come up with the money and asked the court to trust that his weekly podcast, &#8220;Pants on Fire with George Santos,&#8221; will eventually generate enough revenue to satisfy his obligations.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;Mr. Santos now has a viable path to making meaningful progress on satisfying his obligations,&#8221; his lawyers stated in a motion, citing the launch of his new podcast.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Prosecutors argued against a delay, stating in a filed response that &#8220;the numerous victims of Santos&#8217;s criminal schemes, and the community writ large have a strong collective interest in the expeditious resolution of this case.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">They also questioned why he cannot pay when, they said, Santos generated substantial revenue streams through other means in the past year &#8212; including $400,000 from his participation in a documentary and more than $400,000 from Cameo &#8212; according to the government&#8217;s filing.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Santos must pay restitution of nearly $374,000 and forfeiture of more than $200,000 under the terms of his plea deal.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN ">He also faces a sentence of 75-87 months, including a mandatory minimum two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft.</p>
