Giuliani is ordered to pay $148 million to Georgia election workers he defamed
Fkn lol, I’m sure he’s good for it, and if not, trump will definitely help.
Okay I don't want to be cliche... But if they get paid 1/10th of that money I'll eat my hat*
- it's a figure of speech. I'll not pay up fyi
It's pretty clear, he doesn't have that kind of scratch and I think there are still lawsuits from the voting machine companies.
He claims not to have that kind of scratch.
I'm skeptical there isn't a lot that's hidden, protected, in someone else's name, etc.
And even if he had it, I'm expecting an Alex Jones situation where he's able to avoid paying a ridiculous amount.
Still, I'm hopefull they'll at least be able to get a million each or something. And if Rudy G really does have to live a broke life from here on out, that'd be great.
Edit:. Also, there is like zero chance that a guy made as much money as he did, and hung around the crowd he did, and didn't hide a bunch of it.
The hat…. can be cake.
I like the cut of your jib sir
It was a pretty sad day watching those two testify about the death threats they received because they passed a tic tac.
$148 million is a nice ending to that story.
Unfortunately it's just a tease. Rudy is broke. They'll never see this money.
Liquidate his estate, sell off all his assets and drain all his accounts. Any money he makes or gets access to can go to paying the remaining balance. He can keep enough money to be at the federal poverty line. Pissed that Alex Jones gets 100k a month while "bankrupt". Fuck that shit, you were horrible, and you have no right to live a cush life with the money you made from taking away peace and closure from others.
I can't speak for them, but ruining his remaining life as punishment for ruining theirs seems just.
$16,171,000 to Freeman in compensatory damages for defamation;
$16,998,000 for Moss in compensatory damages for defamation;
$20 million each, or $40 million total, in compensatory damages for emotional distress;
$75 million in punitive damages for both
Interesting that they determined that he damaged Moss more than Freeman. Maybe one of them got more ugly threats than the other.
Knowing very little of the facts, maybe it’s because Moss is younger and will be missing out on more income, since neither of them can get a job anymore. But that’s just my uneducated guess for the difference.
That's like... a lot. I bet he's sweating black sweat from his forehead right now.
thats a coffin nail for this piece of shit
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The decision comes at the end of a week-long federal civil trial in Washington D.C., where an eight-person jury heard from the workers — Wandrea "Shaye" Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman — about how 2020 election conspiracies spread by Giuliani and former President Donald Trump turned their lives upside down.
Jurors heard numerous violent and racist voicemails the women received, after Giuliani used his massive platform as a campaign attorney for Trump to spread lies about their actions as election workers in Georgia.
It's not the only legal trouble for Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and two-term New York City mayor, related to his efforts to subvert Georgia's 2020 election.
Freeman broke down crying Wednesday as she described leaving her home after receiving a warning from the FBI that her life could be at risk.
I hope the federal government hangs you and your daughter from the Capitol dome," said one message Freeman received at the time.
"Mr. Sibley has a hard job," said Judge Howell at one point, after it came out that Giuliani had continued to lie about the women while talking to reporters on the courthouse steps earlier in the week.

Why he wasn’t disbarred over this is absolutely mind-blowing.
I'd rather see him rotting in a jail cell but I'll take it.
I’m happy af about the judgement, but they’ll likely never receive a penny.
