Rudy Giuliani must immediately pay the $148 million he owes two Georgia women he falsely accused of helping steal the 2020 election, a federal judge ruled Wednesday in a scathing order accusing the former Trump attorney of ongoing dishonesty.
Judge Beryl A. Howell wrote that there is a strong danger Giuliani is likely to hide his assets from plaintiffs Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss and is unlikely to succeed in having last week’s the jury verdict overturned or cut down on appeal.
Attorneys for the two women still have to enforce the judgment against Giuliani, which may involve further court proceedings. But they do not have to wait the standard 30 days to begin trying to seize his assets.
He has a Manhattan apartment he’s been trying to sell for 6.5 million. Hopefully they can take possession of that and sell it and get at least a few million each, because I doubt they’ll get anywhere close to the full 148 million.
Yeah. That “they do not have to wait the standard 30 days to begin trying to seize his assets” is a great sign to me. A lien on his apartment would be a great thing.
That’s optimistic. The banks will get their 80% back first. Knowing this guy, he has probably pulled as much equity out of it as he can already
I didn’t consider that. I’m not really a financials person. Well, I still hope they can scrape a little bit of the judgement out from his various holdings, however slim.
