Judge ends Rudy Giuliani bankruptcy case, says he flouted the process with his lack of transparency

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge has thrown out Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case, finding that the former New York City mayor had flouted the process with his lack of transparency. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane formalized the decision Friday. Lawyers for Giuliani and his two biggest creditors — two former election workers he was found to have defamed — had agreed that dismissing the case was the best way forward. The dismissal ends Giuliani’s pursuit of bankruptcy protection but doesn’t absolve him of his debts. His creditors can now pursue other legal remedies to recoup at least some of the money they’re owed, such as getting a court order to seize his apartments and other assets.
