Rudy Giuliani’s creditors, including two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him, are opposing his attempt to convert his bankruptcy into a liquidation, saying they’ll likely ask that the case be thrown out instead because of what they call his flouting of bankruptcy laws. The comments came Wednesday during a status hearing on Zoom before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in White Plains, New York.

The former New York mayor and Donald Trump adviser filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in December, days after the former election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, won their defamation case. They said Giuliani’s targeting of them because of Trump’s lies about the 2020 election being stolen led to death threats that made them fear for their lives.

Philip Dublin, a lawyer for a committee of Giuliani’s creditors, and Rachel Strickland, an attorney for Freeman and Moss, accused Giuliani of failing to turn over financial documents, ignoring bankruptcy court orders and trying to delay the process through litigation tactics. They said they’ll likely ask that the bankruptcy case be dismissed at another hearing on July 10.

“Our view is we do not have a good-faith debtor. He has misbehaved every step of the way,” Dublin said about Giuliani. “We think again that the debtor here has been trying to game the system.”

1. I would want those docs before letting him wrap everything up

What is the Rude Ghoul rushing to hide? Is he finished shuffling money around and now wanting the court to say this case is over?

Leave it in 11 until all the rat holes have been uncovered.

2. Always disliked "America's mayor".

One of the many upsets about 9/11 was his emergence as some kind of hero.

Few recall his involvement in the lack of communications interoperability between the various first responders was Rudy shaking down communication contractors. Many firefighters and police died because they never heard the evacuation orders.

I hope he rots in jail forever.

3. NYers already know it but those of us who are "near NY" like here in Philly

and followed NY politics, KNOW what he did over 30 years ago when running against David Dinkins. I post the below OFTEN!

His bestie Bernie Kerik has already served prison sentences and he is LONG overdue!

4. That is the problem with huge judgments

It allows the defendant to declare bankruptcy and protect his core assets. I always say it is better to be awarded $1 million than $100 million. If the Georgia women had been awarded $1 million, they would have gotten it because Giuliani can afford that. Now these women will get pennies on the dollar because their award will get thrown into all over debts Giuliani owes.
