Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s creditors reprimanded him for his appalling “spending habits” and poorly managing his finances.

On May 28, Giuliani’s creditors called on a judge to appoint a trustee to examine his finances as part of his ongoing bankruptcy case. They stated in a court filing that he was blowing off obligations he experienced when he filed for bankruptcy on December 21, 2023.

“More than five months ago, the Debtor commenced his bankruptcy case,” the filing stated. “One might ask what he has accomplished during that time. An objective review concludes that he has accomplished almost nothing.”

The filing condemned the former New York City mayor for his “egregious spending habits” during the bankruptcy proceedings.

“After the Debtor provided the Committee with the American Express credit card statements as supporting documentation … the Committee gained insight into [Giuliani’s] egregious spending habits,” it stated.

It pointed to the “60 Amazon transactions, charges for entertainment such as Netflix, Prime Video, Kindle, Audible, Paramount+ and Apple services and products and numerous Uber rides.”

The filing also suggested that officials investigate whether Giuliani committed “bankruptcy crimes” by supposedly using “his businesses to divert resources away from his estate and creditors in connection with his purported income that he allegedly never personally received.”

The creditors desire a hearing on appointing a trustee on June 17.

In a court hearing, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane shared his concern over the lack of progress in settling Giuliani’s finances.

Lane criticized the former mayor’s team for their negligence.

A lawyer for the debt holders stated that they have not “done,” “sold” or “settled” anything.

Giuliani released a self-branded coffee line in late May while dealing with his legal problems and expenses. The new brand appeared to be an attempt to raise money for his growing list of creditors. 

In a video, he said, “By supporting Rudy Coffee, you’re not just treating yourself to exceptional coffee; you’re also supporting our cause—the cause of truth, justice, and American democracy.”
