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.
