After being New York mayor, Trump lawyer, and criminal defendant, Rudy Giuliani is now trying his hand at coffee salesman as he grapples with bankruptcy and debt of $148m.
As proceedings in his bankruptcy case rumbled on this week, Mr Giuliani launched Rudy.Coffee, offering three styles of coffee beans. The first 100 bags are signed by the former mayor, the products website claims, and will begin shipping in June.
The three variations come with tag lines such as fighting for justice with an image of Mr Giuliani from his time as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York; enjoying life, with an image of a flip-flop-wearing Mr Guiliani sitting on a beach; and Americas mayor, with an image of a smiling Mr Giuliani holding a cup.
While former president Donald Trump has chosen to sell sneakers and bibles to cover his legal fees, his former lawyer is flogging three coffee types: bold, morning, and decaf. The bags weigh two pounds each and can be purchased for $29.99.

(22,580 posts)everything he's touched. I wouldn't trust Rudi, as he would substitute fake coffee or such into the 'real' coffee, to save a buck or two.

(2,902 posts)Rudy's stalling in hopes of a pardon.
He's got it stashed in Europe and the Caribbean and anywhere you can avoid a bank trail.
This operation is guaranteed to lose scads of money, further confusing the issue of what he'll pay.
Jail him. Sort it out. He can live in a homeless encampment after he pays up and then off to jail.
