Rudy Giuliani’s creditors are not taking his financial statements filed in bankruptcy court at face value and plan to hire a forensic accounting firm to delve into the particulars, according to their legal team.

The former New York City mayor last week claimed he only had a “net income” of $2,308 per month after over $40,000 in monthly expenses in schedules and a statement of financial affairs filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Those filings also detailed assets well north of $10.6 million — against liabilities in excess of $150 million.

During a Wednesday status hearing, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld attorney Philip C. Dublin, who represents a three-person “Committee of Unsecured Creditors” in the case, said there were concerns about possible financial transfers that Donald Trump’s former lawyer might have been made up to three months prior to the bankruptcy filing, according to a courtroom report by Bloomberg Law.
