Rudy Guiliani, now ‘America’s most defaced Mayor’ had made millions in the past having been hired to curb crime in Mexico City (2004.) His notoriety as “America’s most beloved Mayor” rose during the 9/11 terrorist attack by displaying leadership amidst the horrific chaos of the Twin Towers. Once his term as Mayor of NYC ended, he set his career path to make his fortune by creating the Guiliani Group, a security consulting firm. His first major international contract was with Mexico, specifically Mexico City’s government and law enforcement. Experiencing a staggering number of murders, kidnappings, and petty crimes the city hired the Guiliani Group to take the lead and find solutions. Guiliani had a reputation for having convicted and defeated the Mafia in NYC using the Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. He was able to bring down several Mafia bosses as a result. Interestingly, after his rise as a tough prosecutor, he would end up as a target of the same law he managed to successfully use against organized crime. Guiliani announced today that he was ‘running out of cash!’ When he negotiated a reported 4.3 million dollar deal in 2004. He also had lucrative contracts with Qatar, and Venezuela (sound familiar), and provided consulting services to Brazil, and other Central American countries. The Keystone XL oil pipeline initiative supported by a Canadian business. He advised an Iranian opposition group that was on the State Department’s terrorist organization list. A Ukrainian company with Russian ties and several other shady clients abroad such as a Peruvian presidential candidate suspected of campaign violations, a Romanian accused of real-estate fraud, and a Turkish gold trader of laundering Iranian money. Seems that Giuliani had a taste for the criminally empowered.
Recently, Giuliani visited Mar Largo to ask Trump for support for his rising legal fees which Trump has reportedly refused. After the failed election of 2020, Giuliani asked for $20,000 per day from Trump for his services to fight the election lie he helped promulgate. He had made millions representing Purdue Pharma on the Oxycodone case which they ended up losing. I believe the case is on appeal. A Houston-based law firm paid him $10 million to help them establish a presence in NYC. His speaking engagements were a mere $100, 000 per speech and he made 114 of them – do the math $11.4 million! Sounds like mismanagement of funds.
