Rudy Giuliani must immediately pay the $148 million he owes two Georgia women he falsely accused of helping steal the 2020 election, a federal judge ruled Wednesday in a scathing order accusing the former Trump attorney of ongoing dishonesty.
Judge Beryl A. Howell wrote that there is a strong danger Giuliani is likely to hide his assets from plaintiffs Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss and is unlikely to succeed in having last week’s the jury verdict overturned or cut down on appeal.
Attorneys for the two women still have to enforce the judgment against Giuliani, which may involve further court proceedings. But they do not have to wait the standard 30 days to begin trying to seize his assets.
For the curious, this would be 2900 kilograms in the metric system and about 6400 pounds in the imperial system of 5000 rubel bank notes (the largest denomination). That’s about the weight of midsized car. The calculation is on bills alone and does not include other things like paper currency straps or storage mediums.
The total weight by comparison in USD (100 dollar bills) would be 1480 kilograms in the metric system and about 3260 pounds in the imperial system. Which is roughly the weight of a grand piano.
