Michael Avenatti has been charged with extortion, wire fraud, and bank fraud:
https://apnews.com/6cb4aa15da554042a24ce2308e05554f
LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. prosecutors on two coasts have charged President Donald Trump critic and attorney Michael Avenatti with extortion and bank and wire fraud.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles said Avenatti was arrested Monday in New York.
Spokesman Ciaran McEvoy says the lawyer best known for representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against Trump faces federal charges in New York and California.
In the New York case, he was accused of threatening to use his ability to get publicity to harm the sports apparel giant Nike.
In the California case, Avenatti was accused of embezzling a client’s money to pay his own expenses and debts — as well as those of his coffee business and law firm. The U.S. attorney’s office also said he defrauded a bank by using phony tax returns to obtain millions of dollars in loans.
Waiting for the frog-march photos.

Trump's fault
"Trump may have created the environment in which someone like Avenatti could be taken semi-seriously as a presidential candidate. But Avenatti's fall also proves there is only one Donald Trump out there."https://t.co/ehFzXyjR1P

The media just can't get to the point of blaming themselves.

He may prove to have too much white, cis-male, hetero privilege to be given such treatment.

They were smart enough to do it without anyone recording them.

It would be a hell of a distraction.
What if he just said he identified as a non-white male?

What a POS if true
Michael Avenatti is accused of keeping a $4M personal injury settlement payout from a paraplegic man with mental health issues, according to his former legal partner
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6848179/Michael-Avenatti-accused-improperly-keeping-4M-settlement-payout-away-paraplegic-man.html
Avenatti described the allegations as 'absolutely outrageous' and said the payments were an advance on a different settlement payment.
He said in court that the $4 million check cashed in his trust account was not the same $4 million sent to his firm by LA County five days earlier.
Stolper claimed that in 2017 Avenatti funneled $952,000 to a private trust account rather than to his bankrupt firm, then denied under oath in a hearing a month later that he had any private trust accounts.
In court Stopler produced documents showing that the NFL paid Avenatti's firm around $1.5 million to settle a case with one of the firm's clients on May 17, 2017.
The same day, Avenatti set up a private trust account and funneled $952,000 of the settlement money to it, bank statements presented in court showed.
In a hearing a month later, Avenatti testified under oath that he did not have a separate trust account.

He's going to be millions in debt, and in prison. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Stolen from the internet tubes:
He went from Avenatti 2020 to 20-25

And he is guilty, with a capital GUILTY!
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/14/disgraced-lawyer-michael-avenatti-found-guilty-in-nike-extortion-trial.html
I wonder if he's been able to get out from under his crushing debt?
Of course, it probably won't matter much once he's being crushed under Bubba, his cellmate.
-
Also remember that there were a number of media hacks who were seriously talking about him as a Democrat Presidential candidate.

So does this make him more or less attractive to the democrats then ? :lol:
