yeah, this guy is a crook:

Rudy Giuliani pocketed $300,000 from farmers investing in anti-Biden documentary that was never made, lawsuit claims

Two farmers who plowed $1 million into a documentary that would supposedly come out before the 2020 election and expose Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's corrupt dealings in Ukraine want their money back. In 2019, a new lawsuit alleges, California fruit-and-nut farming magnates and brothers Baldev and Kewel Munger met Tim Yale, a Republican political operative at a fundraiser. A few months later, Yale introduced them to Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, according to the suit. By then, Giuliani was hard at work trying to dig up election-year dirt on Joe Biden in his capacity as President Trump's personal attorney. Giuliani, the lawsuit alleges, asked for the farmers' help finance efforts to make sure Trump was elected to a second term. But Giuliani wasn't seeking a donation — he wanted them to invest in a documentary.

yeah a fool and his money….

Allegedly, the film was supposed to reveal a "smoking gun" that would take the Bidens down, secure Trump's second term, and enrich the Mungers in the process. "Yale and Dickson represented that this documentary movie was going to be bigger and more profitable than Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' which earned $200 million at the box office." The Mungers, who had given tens of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates, were sold. They turned over $1 million to finance the film, according to promissory notes attached to the complaint as exhibits. Out of that money, $300,000 allegedly went to Giuliani himself; the rest "was stolen by Dickson and Yale for their own personal use," the lawsuit claims. None of the promises allegedly made by the film's backers materialized. The film was never made or released. Joe Biden won the 2020 election. And the Mungers' million-dollar bet vanished.

I wonder if they will get any of their money back. I hope not. who knows what they do next….
