Disgraced ex-Long Island Rep. George Santos was already back on the celebrity-for-hire platform Cameo on Saturday \u2014 \u201cfresh out of prison\u201d<\/a> and ready to try to rake in big bucks again after his presidential pardon.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old convicted New York fraudster reappeared on the platform \u2014 where he has previously made more than $600,000 <\/a>\u2014 for the first time in three months since landing behind bars for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiva UP Always!\u201d the fallen Republican wrote on X<\/a> as he shamelessly plugged his return to Cameo, where people can shell out at least $300 for him to send them personalized messages including involving birthdays, pep talks, advice and wedding speeches.<\/p>\n

Businesses can also book a seven-day licensed \u201cselfie-style video\u201d from Santos starting at $5,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m back!!!\u2019\u2019 the ex-con former congressman wrote in his Cameo description \u2014 less than a day after his lawyer begged for the media to give Santos his privacy to allow him to \u201cdecompress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Santos revealed on X that his first meal out of prison was sushi<\/a> \u2014 and that he is now \u201cback to put smiles on all your faces!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m far from perfect. I\u2019ve made mistakes, I\u2019ve stumbled, but I never lost faith in Him,\u201d Santos wrote Friday<\/a>, the day he was released from lock-up.<\/p>\n

Santos\u2019 first \u201cCameo\u201d was to wish former Trump White House staffer Megan Small <\/a>a happy birthday, according to a video posted online.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeorge Santos, fresh out of prison break,\u201d the ex-con said, laughing, before he finished his birthday message.<\/p>\n

The former Republican Congressman\u2019s personal online venture had been on hiatus while he was imprisoned at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, NJ.<\/p>\n

He was released Friday night, hours after President Trump commuted his seven-plus-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n

Santos thanked Trump<\/a> in a long-winded post to X on Saturday, saying the president gave him \u201ca true second chance<\/a> at life.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump reminded me that in this country we love so much, no mistake, no hardship, and no fall from grace can take away the possibility of renewal,\u201d Santos wrote.<\/p>\n

Santos pleaded guilty to the charges against him and was sentenced April 25, reporting to prison July 25.<\/p>\n

He only served 84 days of his 87-month sentence.<\/p>\n

Santos confessed that he and campaign treasurer Nancy Marks, who also pleaded guilty to fraud conspiracy, had \u201cfiled the list of false names\u201d to federal regulators and \u201cused the names of our friends and family \u2026 to artificially inflate the numbers of our donors\u2019\u2019 to rake in more public funding.<\/p>\n

The illegally obtained taxpayer money was then spent partly on OnlyFans subscriptions, Botox and spa treatments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Santos also wildly lied about his personal and professional accomplishments before being elected, helping to get him booted from Congress in 2023.<\/p>\n

Among his lies was that he came from a Jewish family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never claimed to be Jewish,\u201d Santos famously tried arguing to The Post at one point. \u201cI am Catholic.
\u201cBecause I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was \u2018Jew-ish.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

The lying ex-pol, reached by phone by The Post on Sunday, declined comment other than to say, \u201c You have a nice day\u2019\u2019 before hanging up.<\/p>\n

Minutes earlier, he had written on X<\/a>, \u201cTo the members of the press, I respectfully ask that any questions regarding the commutation of my sentence, granted by President Donald J. Trump under the grace of God, be directed to me personally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am currently in a period of reflection and healing, and if part of that process means facing tough questions from the media, I am willing, ready, and able to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

His lawyer told The Post on Saturday that Santos needed \u201cdecompressing\u201d from the \u201ctraumatic experience\u201d of prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was released last night. Let\u2019s give him \u2013 let\u2019s respect his and his family\u2019s privacy and let them decompress a little. It\u2019s a traumatic experience as you can imagine,\u201d said the lawyer, Joseph Murray of Long Island.<\/p>\n

During his shortened incarceration, Santos told The South Shore Press<\/a>\u00a0about the appalling \u201cfluorescent yellow \u2026 state-issued polyester\u201d jumpsuits, as well as mold and broken AC units in the Jersey facility.<\/p>\n

Santos revealed he had talked to Trump earlier in the day and was inspired to do good, pledging to reform America\u2019s prison system.<\/p>\n

\u201cInspired by President Trump\u2019s work toward peace in the Middle East, I am dedicating myself to doing good, to building bridges instead of walls,\u201d Santos wrote.<\/p>\n
