A Wednesday morning status conference on how to deal with “ancillary matters” in the aftermath of Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy dismissal had to pause for a break because no one could say for sure how much money is in the former NYC mayor’s checking and savings accounts, even his own lawyers. When the break was over, the judge blew his stack.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane began the Zoom call by making clear to the parties that “[w]e’re not going to unring that bell,” the bell being dismissal. Lane said that he was merely trying to figure out an enforceable way to make Giuliani pay professional and administrative fees, potentially racked up to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of his voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in New York.
