A federal judge on Thursday ordered Rudy Giuliani to “delist” his multi-million dollar New York City apartment from the market and prove that it is “no longer being offered for sale” days after the Georgia election workers he was found liable for defaming called attention to reporting about the sale price dropping by $525,000.

Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, looking to collect on the $148 million dollar judgment in their favor after the end of Giuliani’s bankruptcy case, sued the former NYC mayor in late August, demanding that he be forced to “turn over personal property in his possession” — including New York Yankees World Series rings, signed Reggie Jackson and Joe DiMaggio memorabilia, watches, a claim for “about” $2 million in “never paid” legal fees for his work on behalf of the 2020 Donald Trump campaign, “cash accounts,” and his “interest” (“1,430 shares of stock”) in the New York apartment.

Since that time, Freeman and Moss have also gone after the bank account for Giuliani Communications LLC, arguing that the funds therein should not be shielded from their collection campaign. As recently as Wednesday, the plaintiffs’ lawyers alerted U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman to an “urgent” matter. Freeman and Moss expressed concern that about New York Post reporting that Giuliani “‘slashe[d]’ the listing price of his New York Apartment” — his “most valuable single asset.”

The Post report suggested the price drop may be a sign of desperation in trying to sell the apartment. That may be because Global Data Risk — itself looking to collect $300,000 in bankruptcy-related fees — has a lien on the property and could foreclose in a few months.
