Hi Chuck. No, that's the point of bankruptcy. You have to pull all the assets and then distribute them in a fair and rational way to the various creditors. Note, though, that Moss and Freeman's argument is that he still owes them all the money despite the bankruptcy.

"SLAMMED in Court"???!!!!??????? No, that is not even close to true. This is reporting saying that he has constantly and consistently thumbed his nose at the law and his victims but absolutely nothing was done about it. Another hearing in 3 weeks while he continues to waste and hide money to keep his victims from getting it. A court order that he has flatly refused to do for over a year but he's a free man spending each month about twice the average salary. The only people that were 'slammed' today where his victims who the court still refuses to even try to get a small measure of justice for and the public at large who are told they have to obey laws but people like Giuliani don't.
