Judge refuses to immediately shield Rudy Giuliani 'alter ego' company's bank account from defamed 2020 election workers

Source: Law & Crime

Oct 10th, 2024, 2:47 pm


Defamed 2020 election workers seeking to enforce the $148 million dollar judgment they won against Rudy Giuliani in late 2023 successfully persuaded a federal judge on Thursday that the former NYC mayor’s attempt to protect the bank account of his “alter ego” company Giuliani Communications, LLC was “frivolous and must be quashed.”

The upshot of the ruling from U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman, a 2019 Donald Trump appointee, is that funds in a bank account at Parkside Financial Bank & Trust are effectively restrained — that is, frozen — as Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss continue their efforts to collect Giuliani’s assets through turnover.

As Law&Crime reported weeks ago, Freeman and Moss asked the judge to quash Giuliani’s claimed “exemption” over the Parkside account, calling that tactic “frivolous” and asking the judge to keep a restraining notice in place until he decides on their asset “turnover motion.” The bank account at issue, the plaintiffs said, is the designated destination under an agreement with Burke Brands for wiring Giuliani “80% of net profit of each sale of Rudy Coffee” on a monthly basis.

Freeman and Moss argued that Giuliani frivolously cited a law meant to protect “natural persons” — a human person, not a corporate person — from draconian restraints, just so he could “shield” Giuliani Communications’ funds from potentially going towards paying off the massive judgment. That, the plaintiffs added, was a continuation of “evasion and obstruction” tactics that have been ongoing since they first sued Giuliani for defamation.

Have the victims of Alex Jones seen a dime yet?

I am supremely disappointed in watching our Justice system seemingly helpless against the delay tactics of these people.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Always dragging things out. If the perp was a Dem, he'd be in jail or bankrupt last year. The status quo always fights progress and change until it's inevitable. How we get there is the question.

9. All of these delays have come from Judges (the Judiciary Branch)

NOT the Prosecutors from the Executive Branch.

DOJ must get a warrant signed by a judge or magistrate to "lock someone up".

14. Was Garland picked to "own the 'pubes"?

If so, it was an ineffective choice.

President Biden made a grave mistake with Garland. He could have chosen someone more assertive.

and it's a joke for them to come to court and represent that this "coffee company" was anything but a front and serving as a conduit for movement of assets. Legitimate business effort? Sure thing because everybody knows how much everybody thinks of coffee when they hear Rudy's name.
