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.

    Does Rudy Giuliani have $148 million? Most people with $148 million aren’t doing Cameo.

    I get it, presumably this would mean garnishment of everything he does have, or has coming in. Which would be nice. Everyone can make him record humiliating messages and election workers who he defamed get the money for it.

    Edit: Sad news, it’s temporarily unavailable.

      Roughly $30m in liquidatable assets, $400k/yr residual income, and the ability to generate between 5 and 10 million a year in speaking fees, IF people will still pay to hear him speak (and I have absolutely no clue if that’s a yes or a no tbh… Kind of a double edged sword, ya know?). His cameo is very much small potatoes by comparison.

      He’s pretty notably competent at spending more than he has though, so it’s kinda hard to put a price tag on his ass…

        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
