Giuliani owes almost $1 Million in taxes to New York and the U.S.
How does Judge Howell's order affect this? Or does it?Dr. Caligari wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 1:45 pmFor the time being, a Chapter 11 filing prevents any creditors from taking any collection activity.
Eventually, the bankruptcy court will collect all of Rudy's assets and distribute them pro rata to all the creditors.
At some point in the case, the libel plaintiffs can seek an order that their claim is non-dischargeable, and they most likely will win that motion because the jury found that the injury was willful and malicious. But this will probably do them little good, because (1) all assets Rudy now has will be divided among all of the existing creditors, and (2) even though the libel judgment will remain, Rudy is not likely to earn much once he's out of bankruptcy.
The above is very over-simplified but, I believe, basically correct. (I used to be a lawyer, but was never a bankruptcy specialist.)
As I understand it -- IANAL, but Daddy was a CPA so I always find these things interesting enough to read up on -- Chapter 11 is far more complex and expensive to manage, so MOSTLY businesses do it, but individuals can. But I'm also under the impression that the court has to have some general sense that the filer is capable of continuing to maintain a solvent business and continue operating while the proceedings are apace. They have to file a plan and show that income is enough to stay operating. I don't know how R.G. can do that here, myself. So in theory, I should think, the Judge could be able to say "No, you're done. Refile under another Chapter or give up." Is this the case, attorneys in the house?Rolodex wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 2:10 pm I wonder why Chap 11 - which is usually what corporations use. Maybe he doesn't own anything "personally"? Personal "reorganization" bankruptcy is Chap 13 and chap 7 liquidates everything for persons and businesses.
Where are the "whistleblowers" from the IRS saying Rudy's getting special treatment on his taxes?
Speaking of ghouli and Hunter, it appears that the latter showed up on the former's list of creditors:RVInit wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 2:23 pmSo...Roger Stone owes a million dollars and just gets to make an agreement to pay it.MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 1:28 pm

Rudy Giuliani owes a million dollars and presumably just gets to make an agreement to pay it.
Hunter Biden owed a million dollars, realized it, refiled and paid, along with penalties and fees before the IRS even identified that he had owed it. And then, after everything is already paid back, facing prison time for felony charges related to owing taxes in the past but already paid back.
Sounds fair.
That's the way I see it. Now, I am not a bankruptcy attorney, but in my limited experience as a credit manager and customers filing bankruptcy, so will list potential debts to try to wipe them away. I seem to recall at least one mentioned a potential bond claim = if the bond company paid out they couldn't go after them. Or something similar, been a while.
I looked at Giuliani's bankruptcy form (MN provided the link several posts upthread). 10 of Giuliani's creditors he tags as "lawsuit" and marks them as "contingent", "unliquidated" and "disputed". Hunter Biden is one of those, as are Dominion and Smartmatic, with the amounts as "unknown".
Right, which is where I was kinda going with this and why Newsweek's journalism would be specious at best to say Rudy owes Hunter money, if they actually said something to that effect.Sam the Centipede wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 10:05 pmI looked at Giuliani's bankruptcy form (MN provided the link several posts upthread). 10 of Giuliani's creditors he tags as "lawsuit" and marks them as "contingent", "unliquidated" and "disputed".

Donald Trump ally Rudy Giuliani, the man often referred to as “America’s Mayor,” is in jeopardy of losing his honorary knighthood due to escalating legal issues.
What Happened: Giuliani received the honorary title of “Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire” from Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of his leadership during the 9/11 attacks. Nonetheless, recent legal troubles, which include a $148 million defamation verdict and a possible criminal indictment, risk him being stripped of this honor, Business Insider reported on Sunday.
The British government has the authority to form a Forfeiture Committee to examine the removal of knighthoods. The proposal for withdrawal would be forwarded to U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and then to King Charles III for a decision. Should Giuliani lose his knighthood, he would join the infamous ranks of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
But why would a right-wing UK government bother? I doubt if many people inside or outside the UK know of Giuliani's honorary knighthood and those few are unlikely to raise a fuss about that meaningless ornament – it doesn't even entitle him to call himself Sir Rudi.
Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and ex-President Donald Trump's former lawyer, asked people on social media on Monday to pay for a monthly subscription to his podcast.
Giuliani filed for bankruptcy on December 21, just days after a jury ordered him to pay $148 million for defaming two former Georgia election workers.
Giuliani, who heads the Common Sense podcast and its affiliated America's Mayor livestream, kicked off the new year on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday by asking people to subscribe to America's Mayor Confidential for $10 a month.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he regrets not taking a city pension now that he's facing a $148m civil court payout for defaming a pair of Georgia election workers.
The former mayor has since filed for bankruptcy, according to the New York Post.
Empire Centre for Public Policy, a taxpayer watchdog group in New York, found no evidence of Mr Giuliani ever filing to receive a pension.
Had he applied, he would have been eligible for approximately $26,000 per year once he turned 62.
The Georgia judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s election racketeering case on Friday issued a “scathing rebuke” of co-defendant Rudy Giuliani’s attorneys, according to experts and court records.
Judge Scott McAfee denied Giuliani’s motion for an extension on the Jan. 8 deadline to file pre-trial motions in the Fulton County case, records show.
Giuliani’s lawyers' argument that he hadn’t been able to review “voluminous” discovery materials — or the proposed evidence to be presented at trial — wasn’t good enough, McAfee wrote.
“Defendant does not articulate exactly what discovery must still be reviewed, or why the review has not been completed in the approximately four months that have passed since arraignment,” McAfee writes.
One possible distraction may have been the $148 million defamation lawsuit Giuliani faced from two Georgia poll workers in Washington D.C. and his subsequent declaration of bankruptcy.
McAfee also issued a fact-check.
“While Defendant claims to have filed ‘many’ motions concerning discovery, none appear on the docket,” McAfee added. “The motion is DENIED.”
