I'm in no way trying to normalize whatever the fuck Rudy Giuliani is, but it's honestly pretty common in civil cases for the party found to owe money to not pay, and the legal mechanisms to force payment are limited
That said, I hope these women's attorneys rake him over the fucking coals and he ends up homeless and destitute
When it happens to normal folk, their wages get garnished.
I assume he is technically unemployed at this point.
He doesn't really have any marketable skills.
are people at his level ever “employed”? they get checks but I doubt they are paychecks.
He was employed as Mayor. That's a job with a paycheck. Heck mayor of NYC probably has a pretty cushy paycheck.
According to a quick Google, the current mayor gets $258,750 a year.
259k/y right now. So back then less. a bit higher than most people but essentially paycheck to paycheck in nyc. His wife probably worked too, though and I'm sure the power got him a lot of special deals. I'm beyting that check was a drop in the bucket to the millions he made other ways.
You can garnish far more than wages. They can go after his bank accounts and various financial assets, property, vehicles, business income, and people/businesses that owe money to him can be ordered to pay towards the judgment instead.
It has probably been decades since he had wages.
I mean...what do they do to not normal folk? I assume the same. The issue is they have other workarounds it like getting everything paid by somebody else, live in somebody's else property etc I guess?
Wealthy people don't have "wages"
