WASHINGTON—Embattled Rep. George Santos persuaded at least one person to make a six-figure investment in a Florida-based company that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission later said was a Ponzi scheme, according to people familiar with the matter and documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal.Mr. Santos was hired in 2020 to raise capital for the company, Harbor City Capital, and landed at least one significant investment from a wealthy investor, the people said.When the investment failed to deliver on the promised returns, according to one of the people, Mr. Santos sought to reassure the investor by saying he had personally raised nearly $100 million and had invested his own family’s money in Harbor City.Sign In- adidas:End-of-Year Sale: Up to 60% Off 1000s of Items + Free Shipping | adidas Promo Code- Nike:60% off running shoes and apparel at Nike without a promo code- American Eagle Outfitters:All Jeans + Pants 25% off!Plus, 60% off clearance with American Eagle promo code- Wayfair:Up to 15% off + free shipping at Wayfair- Kohl's:Kohl's Coupon 30% off sitewide- Walmart:Winter 2023 Clearance Sale - Up to 50% off"
