    As a student who has never been allowed to discharge his student loan debts…

    Why the fuck aren’t there laws in place for specifically shit like this, when rich people turn to bankruptcy to avoid paying bills? My student loans can’t be discharged in bankruptcy, but this kind of shit can?

    Fuck that shit, bring back debtors prison for rich assholes like this.

      The judgment isn’t dischargeable. Hecan say bankruptcy but they’ll freeze and put a lein on everything he owns. He’s super fucked.

        He’s not super fucked yet though. He’ll just pull an Alex Jones and stall as long as possible while still living the same life.

          Alex Jones had a lot of people helping him hide his money, so it’s tangled up a lot more than with Giuliani. Also, Giuliani is under a hell of a lot more scrutiny than Alex Jones was or is. And the judges in Jones’s case didn’t seem to be moving as quickly as with Giuliani, who also only has the single case and single judge. I seriously doubt that Giuliani will be able to stall like Jones has been able to. I think it’s fair to say that Giuliani is far more fucked than Jones at this point.
