Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, is currently facing severe financial hardships after accruing a staggering debt of $148 million to Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea Arshaye “Shaye” Moss. This debt stems from damaging allegations he made alongside President-elect Donald Trump, falsely accusing them of committing election fraud during the contentious 2020 presidential election. While these misleading claims played a role in Trump’s controversial rise to power, they have resulted in significant repercussions for Giuliani, including being publicly disgraced, disbarred from practicing law, denied a bankruptcy claim, and criticized even by his own legal team. His financial situation has deteriorated to the point where he has lost many of his assets, all of which he now owes to Freeman and Moss.

Giuliani’s frustration is palpable as he navigates these legal challenges.

In a recent court appearance, emotions ran high when Giuliani expressed his anger towards U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman, who was merely enforcing court orders related to Giuliani’s outstanding debts. The former mayor’s irritation was evident as he argued against the judge’s comments regarding his compliance with asset surrender.

According to reports from NBC News, after Judge Liman pointed out Giuliani’s noncompliance with court mandates, he snapped back, stating, “The implications you are making against me are wrong. I have no car, no credit card, no cash; everything I have is tied up. They have put stop orders on my business accounts, and I can’t pay my bills.” The judge responded by indicating that Giuliani did not seem to be in dire financial straits and cautioned him to refrain from further outbursts.

Giuliani’s legal team is attempting to navigate the complexities of his financial obligations.

Joseph Cammarata, Giuliani’s newly appointed attorney, informed the court that his client had surrendered one of his assets: a vintage 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL 500, which previously belonged to the legendary Hollywood actress Lauren Bacall. However, Aaron Nathan, representing Freeman and Moss, pointed out that while Giuliani had indeed handed over the car, he failed to provide the necessary title. Judge Liman emphasized the importance of the title, stating, “A car without a title is meaningless,” and raised questions about why Giuliani had not managed to obtain a replacement title.

The judge questioned Giuliani’s competency in handling these legal matters.

Judge Liman highlighted Giuliani’s qualifications, reminding Cammarata that Giuliani was once the U.S. attorney for the district, suggesting that he should be capable of applying for a title certificate. However, Giuliani interrupted, asserting that he had already made an application for it, expressing frustration over the insinuation that he had not been diligent in addressing this matter.

Additionally, there are ongoing complications regarding Giuliani’s co-op apartment in Manhattan.

Attorneys for Freeman and Moss disclosed that they are facing similar documentation issues concerning Giuliani’s co-op apartment, valued at over million. Although receivers have been granted access to the property, Giuliani has yet to deliver the keys, stock, or proprietary lease associated with the apartment, creating further obstacles in the legal proceedings.
