Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani owes more than half a million dollars in federal taxes and faces a lien on a property he owns in Florida, according to a recent court filing.
The unpaid balance of $549,435.26 in federal taxes for 2021 was revealed in an August notice that said the IRS was placing a lien on Giuliani’s property in Palm Beach, Florida.
The Daily Mail first reported Giuliani’s tax debt, which comes as he faces mounting legal woes, and fees.
Last month, Giuliani’s former lawyers sued him over allegations that he had not paid legal fees that they said amounted to $1.36 million. Giuliani responded to the lawsuit by saying the dollar amount being sought was excessive.
Great; now put him where they put Wesley Snipes.
Is this a Demolition Man reference?
This is a 2011-2013 reference
real life spoiler
Wesley Snipes went to jail for tax evasion and server 28 months

Oh boring.
I vote we lock him up in the sci-fi dystopian prison.
Yeah, but then he gets to come back.
Not really the same sort of case at all. Wesley didn’t file returns for years despite earning millions in that time, his accountant wilfully violated the law, and when the IRS asked for the money anyway, he responded with a bunch of sovereign citizen bullshit.
Guilliani is under a formal payment plan with the IRS, and I assume from the lien he fell behind on payments.
