Judge says Rudy Giuliani must pay $148 million judgment immediately

Rudy Giuliani must immediately pay the $148 million he owes two Georgia women he falsely accused of helping steal the 2020 election, a federal judge ruled Wednesday in a scathing order accusing the former Trump attorney of ongoing dishonesty.

Judge Beryl A. Howell wrote that there is a strong danger Giuliani is likely to hide his assets from plaintiffs Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss and is unlikely to succeed in having last week’s the jury verdict overturned or cut down on appeal.

Attorneys for the two women still have to enforce the judgment against Giuliani, which may involve further court proceedings. But they do not have to wait the standard 30 days to begin trying to seize his assets.

When it happens to normal folk, their wages get garnished.

I assume he is technically unemployed at this point.

He doesn't really have any marketable skills.

are people at his level ever “employed”? they get checks but I doubt they are paychecks.

He was employed as Mayor. That's a job with a paycheck. Heck mayor of NYC probably has a pretty cushy paycheck.

According to a quick Google, the current mayor gets $258,750 a year.

259k/y right now. So back then less. a bit higher than most people but essentially paycheck to paycheck in nyc. His wife probably worked too, though and I'm sure the power got him a lot of special deals. I'm beyting that check was a drop in the bucket to the millions he made other ways.

You can garnish far more than wages. They can go after his bank accounts and various financial assets, property, vehicles, business income, and people/businesses that owe money to him can be ordered to pay towards the judgment instead.

I mean...what do they do to not normal folk? I assume the same. The issue is they have other workarounds it like getting everything paid by somebody else, live in somebody's else property etc I guess?
