It has been reported by the media outlet that Tom's trustee notified the court that potential purchasers Jun Tao and Peng Tao submitted a bid of $7.5 million for the property, significantly lower than the original asking price of $13 million when it was first listed in 2021.
New court documents were submitted requesting the judge's approval for the agreement, which would use the funds from the sale to settle Tom's debts.
Due to the extended period, the house was on the market, creditors became increasingly impatient, leading to multiple reductions in the listing price.
The initial asking price of $13 million in 2021 was eventually decreased to $11.5 million, then further reduced to $9.98 million, and finally settled at $8.9 million.

On the third day of hearings in September 2023, Girardi lashed out at Assistant US Attorney Ali Moghaddas, telling him, “F*** you.”
