Giuliani's 'reckless spending' sparks demands that he sell his homes: report

Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy creditors called him out for wasting money that he owes them and pushed him to sell off his apartments to pay them off.

Lawyers for a committee of the former New York City mayor's creditors accused him of "recklessness" by spending money on upkeep for his apartments in Florida and New York to keep them from getting what they're owed, and they reminded the bankruptcy court they had been asking him to sell the homes for months, reported Newsweek.

"The Committee was crystal clear in the Motion to Compel Sale that the Debtor should sell his non-exempt assets, like his Florida condominium, as soon as possible and stop wasting funds and resources on assets that he cannot keep," wrote attorneys for the creditors.

Giuliani declared bankruptcy after a jury awarded $148 million to a mother-daughter pair of Georgia election workers in a defamation suit against him for falsely accusing them of election fraud in Fulton County as part of his efforts to help Donald Trump overturn his 2020 election loss.

The creditors disputed Giuliani's claim that he has been transparent about his finances, saying he has refused to comply with court orders to provide accurate financial reporting, and they also disputed his claim that he went into bankruptcy so he could appeal the judgment against him.

"[Giuliani is] continuing his campaign of indecency, recklessness and gross mismanagement of the estate by attacking the Freeman plaintiffs and telling everyone, again, that he filed this bankruptcy case for one purpose: the 'ability to appeal the Freeman judgment,'" the creditors' attorneys wrote.
