Lawyers for former Trump attorney attempt to explain failure to meet accounting obligations in bankruptcy case

“Nobody seems interested” in helping Rudy Giuliani meet accounting obligations in his ongoing bankruptcy case, lawyers for the former New York mayor, presidential hopeful and Trump attorney said in a court filing on Tuesday.

“Unfortunately, the debtor originally had an accountant who was helping,” the filing said. “However, he had a change of heart and indicated that he no longer wished to help prepare the monthly operating reports.

“The debtor advised that he has reached out to a number of accounting firms and CPAs seeking their help, however, no one seems interested in taking the assignment.”

Gee, I wonder why nobody would want to work for someone who's famously broke, unhinged and supremely toxic in all ways possible..

Another reason is that he probably has hidden parts of his wealth and will likely lie to the accounting firm. Making it likely really difficult to do his accounting. And if there a mistake it'll cause difficulties for the accounting firm.

Loads of drawbacks for any firm, seems easier to not do business.

All I'm hearing is "billable hours".

Assuming he would pay, anyway, which seems unlikely.

It seems like the whole point of the exercise would be to prove that he's too broke to pay you for those billable hours.
