The decision paves the way for two former Georgia election workers who won a defamation claim against him to pursue and potentially seize his assets.
Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani leaves the U.S. District Courthouse in Washington after he was ordered to pay $148 million in a defamation case on Dec. 15, 2023. A federal judge in New York on Friday threw out Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case, paving the way for a litany of creditors, including two former Georgia election workers who won aThe decision by U.S.
“Mr. Giuliani has failed to provide an accurate and complete picture of his financial affairs in the six months that this case has been pending,” the judge wrote. “Transparency into Mr. Giuliani’s finances has proven to be an elusive goal.”Citing suspicions that Giuliani’s stonewalling was an attempt to hide money, lawyers for the creditors hired investigators made up of former CIA and FBI officials to look for hidden assets.
Both creditors and the judge criticized Giuliani for blowing off court deadlines and filing incomplete and inconsistent monthly financial disclosures that have raised questions about his spending and income. In response, Giuliani’s lawyers have cited administrative struggles, including problems hiring an accountant.
That hearing later turned contentious as Rachel Strickland, an attorney for Freeman and Moss, accused Giuliani of acting in bad faith and using the same delay tactics he had employed in the defamation case, leading her clients to conclude that Giuliani’s bankruptcy case should be thrown out.
