A federal judge has dismissed Rudy Giuliani S bankruptcy case.
The decision paves the way for two former Georgia election
workers who wanted defamation claim against him to pursue and
potentially take away everything the former mayor of New York
owns. CN NS Caitlin Polance is following this also.
Caitlin, what are you learning about this?
Well, they are vowing to do that.
Just that Ruby Freeman and Sheamus to Georgia election workers
within days are going to be able to seize or
attempt to seize Rudy Giuliani's personal wealth,
real estate he owns. Anything else?
That's because the judge in New York today has ruled
that he will no longer be in bankruptcy protection.
So Rudy Giuliani had filed a little bit more than
six months ago after Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss won
a $148 million verdict against him.
And so things will move forward where they can pursue
everything he has.
Their lawyers say they are ready to do that.
And the sort of stuff that he has right now
is worth about $10 million.
It's largely a property in New York,
a Co-op apartment on the Upper East Side.
A property in Florida, Palm Beach,
and then things like assign Joe DiMaggio shirt three Yankees
World Series rings,
26 watches, including a Rolex and a Mercedes-Benz sports car.
Part of the reason that the judge reached this decision
today is because Giuliani wasn't being fully transparent with his
creditors.
He hadn't been accurate and complete in showing the court
what money he had in his net worth,
and he was using companies to.
Keep things out of the sight of the court.
So quite a day for Rudy Giuliani and just days
away now of losing those properties,
although his lawyers say he's going to continue to fight.
