Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 protection six days after the Freeman-Moss verdict. His petition disclosed assets in the $1 million-to-$10 million range and liabilities in the $100 million-to-$500 million range, dominated by the defamation judgment. Those statutory ranges are a debtor disclosure, not a precise net-worth valuation; the case was later dismissed without a discharge.
