Judge Orders Teresa Giudice's Hubby To Pay $260K To Former Business Partner

RadarOnline.com:

A New Jersey judge has ordered the shady husband of Real Housewives spendaholic Teresa Giudice to pay $260,000 to a former business partner, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.


In a damning finding, Judge Morris Stern found Joe Giudice forged ex-pal Joe Mastropole's signature on a mortgage document and then spun a "web of lies" in order to take out another loan and pocket $1 million.


Suggesting Joe had a "lack of credibility", Judge Stern also ordered the house husband -- who along with Teresa are almost $11 million in debt -- to pay back the money despite their legal claim for bankruptcy protection.


"The signing of Mastropole's name was a forgery... exhibiting willfulness and malice toward a former friend and current adversar," Judge Stern wrote in his judgment, handed down in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newark on Monday.


"The extraordinary web of lies and misrepresentations woven by Giudice to implement and cover his misconduct reflects on his approach to business matters and suggest his disregard for legal restraints which would bind others."

So it's official: Teresa Giudice is married to a lying, thieving con artist. And somewhere Danielle Staub has a frozen smirk on her face.
