The Eye-Popping Details of Rudy Giuliani's Bankruptcy Filing
The Eye-Popping Details of Rudy Giulianis Bankruptcy FilingTrumps former lawyer may be liable for up to $500 million in unpaid debts.
Dan Friedman
Senior Reporter
(Mother Jones) Rudy Giuliani filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, a step he said was unavoidable after he was ordered to pay $148 million to two former Georgia election workers he defamed by falsely accusing them of election fraud. The former New York mayors Chapter 11 filing was no surprise. It came the day after federal district court judge Beryl Howell ordered Giuliani to immediately pay Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss before entering an appeal regarding the award.

The man once known as Americas mayor has now become arguably the countrys best-known debtor. Among the debts cited in Giulianis filing today are legal bills going back to his role as Donald Trumps personal lawyer, in the former presidents first impeachment, along with mounting legal fees from his involvement in Trumps effort to use election fraud lies to steal the 2020 election. Obviously, Giuliani is unable to pay Moss and Freeman $148 million. His personal lawyer and friend, Robert Costello, is suing Giuliani for $1.4 million in unpaid legal fees. Giuliani also reports about $3.5 million in additional debts to lawyers.

The IRS in August filed a $549,435 tax lien against Giuliani for the 2021 tax year, and his bankruptcy petition says he now owes a total of about $989,000 in unpaid taxes. He also cites unknown potential obligations to Dominion and Smartmatic voting machine companies who have sued him for defamation, and to Hunter Biden, who has sued Giuliani for violating his privacy by hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over material on Hunters laptop. He also cites potential obligations to Noelle Dunphy, a former employee who has sued Giuliani for sexual assault and harassment, wage theft, and rape.He denies those allegations and well as claims in other suits against him.
Giulianis overall liabilities? An estimated $100 million to $500 million. He says his assets total between $1 million and $10 million. ................(more)

A little homelessness should give Rudy a perspective on the lives of all those people he trashed.
