Rudy Giuliani keeps dodging the $146 million judgment against him for defaming two Georgia poll workers in 2020, and now the women’s lawyers are trying to figure out where Giuliani is keeping his money.

On Monday, lawyers subpoenaed Standard USA, a limited liability company that was incorporated in Florida on Aug. 30 by Giuliani’s long-rumored girlfriend, Maria Ryan. Attorneys trying to track down Giuliani’s assets filed court records stating that Giuliani holds an 88% ownership interest in the new venture, and they’re demanding to know “all property of any kind” and “all financial accounts” that have been allegedly hidden within the corporation.

After a four-day trial in December 2023, a D.C. jury concluded that Giuliani was responsible for upending the lives of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, a mother and daughter who were subjected to death threats after Giuliani spread lies about election fraud in 2020.
