‘Nobody seems interested’ in helping Giuliani with accounting duties in bankruptcy case, lawyers claim
Rudy Giuliani is having a hard time finding someone to help with the accounting duties in his bankruptcy case and may have to do it on his own, lawyers said in a filing Tuesday.
According to the filing, Giuliani had an accountant helping him meet the accounting obligations in the case, but “he had a change of heart and indicated that he no longer wished to help prepare the monthly operating reports.”
Giuliani has reached out to “a number of accounting firms” for their help, “however, no one seems interested in taking the assignment.”
Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, filed for bankruptcy in December, just days after a jury ordered him to pay a staggering $148 million to two former Georgia election workers who he falsely claimed committed election fraud in 2020.
In the months leading up to his bankruptcy filing, Giuliani defended against increasing legal troubles for his role in former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
The filing Tuesday was meant to explain why Giuliani had not filed his April operating report.
His lawyer said that he has spoken with Guiliani about preparing the operating reports as required, and future reports will be filed on a timely basis.
Giuliani, who famously used the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to crack down on the mob as a prosecutor, is now facing RICO charges in Georgia. Along with 18 other defendants, he surrendered late August on 13 changes over his efforts to keep Trump in power.
Most recently, an Arizona grand jury handed Giuliani felony charges for allegedly attempting to prevent the lawful transfer of power in 2020. Prosecutors are accusing Giuliani and others of devising a scheme to sound the alarm on fake claims of election fraud so Arizona election officials would overturn the results.
