After months of legal wrangling, Rudy Giuliani turned over his car, several watches, a ring, and financial assets to two Georgia election workers he defamed.

Summary

Rudy Giuliani has surrendered assets, including a Mercedes-Benz, luxury watches, and financial holdings, to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who were awarded nearly $150 million in a defamation case.

This follows months of legal disputes, with Freeman and Moss’s attorneys accusing Giuliani of hiding property.

Giuliani’s attorney argued some items, like a Joe DiMaggio jersey, should be exempt and disputed the turnover of the car.

The court warned of a contempt motion if Giuliani failed to comply. He has requested a trial delay due to planned inauguration events.

        Sacha Baron Cohen has gone into detail about setting that up, and how it went down, and it’s absolute bonkers. If you haven’t heard him tell the story, you really need to. I’m not sure where the best place would be as I’m sure he’s told it multiple times, but he was recently on the Smartless podcast, and he recounts the story there.

        Highly recommend that everyone who has seen Borat 2, watch/listen to SBC talk about filming this (and other parts).

        You can also just tell that the man is a genius. And the balls on him (and also his co-star in this one) are the size of fucking Jupiter. He is a treasure. We must protect him at all costs.

    How weird would it be to receive the attests of some rich asshat?

    Rudy was a bully when he was NYC Mayor. He happily jailed fare beaters and squeegee men to ‘protect’ the citizens.

    I only wish he’d been forced to hand over the assets personally.
