一名联邦法官周三批准了前佐治亚州选举工作人员鲁比·弗里曼和叶莎·莫斯的请求，以加快他们的1.48亿美元的判决称这对母女有“充分的理由”担心朱利安尼可能会试图逃避支付他们。
经过一周的审判，联邦陪审团上周命令朱利安尼支付近1.5亿美元这两名妇女在2020年选举日当天在佐治亚州富尔顿县计票时被诬告犯有选举欺诈罪。
弗里曼和莫斯随后要求法官“允许立即执行出于对这位前纽约市长可能试图“在原告能够收回之前找到一种方法来消耗(他的)资产”的担忧。"
法官贝里尔·豪厄尔周三同意，朱利安尼作为“不愿意和不合作的诉讼当事人”的记录为原告提供了“好的理由相信，他将寻求在支付他们之前消散或隐藏他的资产”。

豪厄尔补充说其他民事案件包括他的前律师罗伯特·科斯特洛(Robert Costello)和总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)的儿子亨特·拜登(Michael Bloomberg)提起的诉讼——“这增加了朱利安尼隐藏其金融资产的更大动机的风险，以避免未来对他的潜在判决。”
豪厄尔写道，如果朱利安尼打算对判决提起上诉，他已经表示他计划这样做，他“将不得不遵守全额超判决保证金的通常要求”，这意味着他可能不得不缴纳判决的全额保证金。
Judge orders immediate enforcement of Georgia election workers' $148M judgment against Giuliani
A federal judge on Wednesday granted former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss' request to expedite their$148 million judgmentagainst Rudy Giuliani, saying that the mother and daughter have "good cause" to fear Giuliani may attempt to avoid paying them.
Following a week-long trial, a federal jury last week ordered Giuliani topay nearly $150 millionto the two women for defaming them with false accusations that they committed election fraud while counting ballots in Georgia's Fulton County on Election Day in 2020.
Freeman and Moss subsequently asked the judge to "permit immediate enforcement" of the judgment out of concern that the former New York City mayor could attempt to "find a way to dissipate [his] assets before plaintiffs are able to recover."
Judge Beryl Howell agreed Wednesday that Giuliani's record as an "unwilling and uncooperative litigant" provides the plaintiffs "good cause to believe that he will seek to dissipate or conceal his assets" before paying them.
Howell added thatother civil casesfiled against Giuliani -- including one filed by his former attorney, Robert Costello, and another filed by President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden -- "raise the risk that Giuliani has even greater motivation to hide his financial assets from potential future judgments against him."
If Giuliani intends to appeal the judgment, which he has indicated he plans to do, he "would have to comply with the usual requirement of a full supersedeas bond," Howell wrote, meaning that he may have to post a bond in the full amount of the judgment, Howell said.
