Rudy Giuliani’s quest to cut down hundreds of thousands in bankruptcy fees by nearly half has not gone on in his favor, even after he claimed to be “overbilled” and even after the judge in the case and the forensic financial advisor both reduced the amount of money owed.

A Friday filing from Global Data Risk noted that the prior ask of $324,843.75 in fees was dropping down to $300,480.47, as a consequence of the objections of the U.S. Trustee’s Office and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane’s decision.

“In response to objections that the United States Trustee raised informally, GDR agreed to voluntarily reduce its fees by $7,562.50. The Court reduced the total fees to be paid by an additional $16,800.78,” a footnote detailed.
