The former mayor of New York helped Donald Trump try to overturn his 2020 election loss, and in the process spread lies about election workers in battleground states.

    Bankrupt != broke. He still has a lot of assets, multiple properties IIRC.

      You recall correctly. Copy/paste from something I posted in another thread.

      Based on this link from earlier this years he has, or had, a net worth of around $80 million. He has an apartment currently listed for sale at around $6 million. He also owns another 12 apartments in NY, 2 mansions in TX, 2 penthouses in Manhattan, and 950 acres of Farmland in Ohio.

      Yeah but even if he’s forced to sell off his assets, which is extremely likely, you’re still talking years of red tape and having a deathmatch with his many other creditors before they’d actually see any of that money, if ever. And that’s assuming it’s all straightforward. If he goes full Alex Jones and intentionally tries to gum up the works, god knows how long it’ll drag out for.

        Ensuring his later years are filled with endless stressful legal battles as he tries to hold on to his last possessions also gives me schadenfreude, especially if he will have to pay it anyway.

          I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment, but wish there were a way that could be done while these two women also get paid.

          It’d be funnier if he flees to Russia only to be photographed fighting on the front lines in Ukraine. Shovel in one hand, colostomy bag in the other.

        The fact that Moss & Bridge’s lawyers want to get paid will speed that process up quite a bit.
