i’m not feeling confident that giuliani is upkeeping the fees on that apartment… the sports stuff could be worth quite a bit. ---

Man, Rudy just continues to find new and interesting ways to be a terrible human being. He was required to turn over his New York apartment and all of the valuables therein to Moss and Freeman as of October 31. They turned up to discover that the place had been cleaned out weeks before: > **[Giuliani emptied NYC apartment before surrendering assets to defamation...](https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/secreted-away-giuliani-emptied-nyc-apartment-of-virtually-all-valuables-before-surrendering-assets-to-defamed-election-workers-lawyers-say/)** > > Rudy Giuliani cleared all of the valuable items out of his NYC apartment before his assets to the Georgia election workers he defamed, the duo's attorney said. I mean, [we’re talking about the high-end stuff](https://www.silive.com/news/2024/11/rudy-giuliani-summoned-back-to-court-for-not-turning-over-his-mercedes-5m-nyc-apartment.html): > [@](#): > > Those possessions include his $5 million Upper East Side apartment, a 1980 Mercedes once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall, and a variety of other belongings — from his television to a shirt signed by New York Yankees legend Joe DiMaggio to 26 luxury watches. Strangely, neither Rudy nor his lawyer bothered to tell either Moss and Freeman or the court that this had been done, nor have they yet to tell them where all the stuff is now apart from “possibly” a warehouse in Ronkonkoma. Well, at least we know where his car is… > **[Giuliani shows up to vote in Mercedes he was supposed to give to poll workers](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/05/rudy-giuliani-defamation-georgia-election-workers-mercedes-benz)** > > Disgraced Trump lawyer appears in Benz in Florida despite court order to turn it over to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss Rudy had originally asked that he be able to attend the next court hearing on Thursday by phone because he has a “contractual commitment” to do a radio broadcast from his Palm Beach condo - with Mike Lindell - that day.

I know he was disbarred (in some? all? of the states he could practice in) but I have to imagine there’s some MAGA law firms out there that wouldn’t mind him as either a consultant or even just to be in their ads. No, it’s not going to get him a Manhattan apartment, but if he really doesn’t even have enough money to eat, he might have to start slumming it with the rest of us. ---

It’s quite likely (but IANAL and I have no earthly idea, really) that any such income could be attached by Mesdemoiselles Freeman and Moss. But Rudy could _still_ do it in an effort to stave off further dramatic and highly public cognitive decline. ---
