Gina, Big House, Santucci, former aide to Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) and the shorter-haired blond in the picture handing over some award, is in a bit of hot water. Immediately after her inauguration scalping caper hit the fan, the Senate passed legislation making what was once unethical, scalping inauguration tickets, criminal.

How did a seemingly straightforward, low-risk money grab fail so completely? Did Santucci’s middlman double-cross her? Was her house bugged by The Man? Does she have enemies in high places? Did she leave a paper trail? Was she seduced by a spy? Was her plan overly complicated? Did she secretly want to be found?

Actually, Santucci turned herself in when she handed over her real name and email address to Jackie Kentucky, an amateur sleuth on Craigslist.

The Red Hand:

Santucci: “Jackie - Just to confirm, you’ll pay $3500 for 4 tickets? Are you able to pay in cash? I am picking up the tickets on Wednesday afternoon and will be able to meet you after that.”

A while later…

Santucci: “Yes, I have an email, but will redact information identifying Member of Congress as he is a personal friend of mine and I do not want to cause embarrassment.”
