:lol: :lol: Federal prosecutors have accused Michael Avenatti, the attorney known for representing Stormy Daniels in her lawsuits against President Trump, of attempting to extort millions of dollars from Nike by threatening negative publicity right before an earnings call and the N.C.A.A. men’s basketball tournament.

In court documents filed Monday, prosecutors in the United States District for the Southern District of New York said that Mr. Avenatti and a client, a former A.A.U. basketball coach, said that they had evidence that Nike employees had funneled money to recruits in exchange for their commitments to college teams sponsored by Nike. The prosecutors said the men threatened to release the evidence in order to damage Nike’s reputation and market capitalization unless Nike paid them at least $22.5 million.

Mr. Avenatti attempted to extract the money “by threatening to use his ability to garner publicity to inflict substantial financial and reputational harm on the company if his demands were not met,” prosecutors said in a statement.

You have to really mess up to get charged like this when you can legally extort people so easily as a lawyer.

Quote:
California lawyer Michael Avenatti was arrested and charged by federal prosecutors in New York with attempting to extort millions of dollars out of Nike Inc. by threatening to release damaging information about the company.

Avenatti is alleged to have told Nike he would cancel a press conference critical of the sports-apparel company only if it paid an unidentified client $1.5 million, and hired him and another California lawyer to conduct an internal investigation for $15 million to $25 million. Nike did not meet his demands.

“I’ll go take ten billion dollars off your client’s market cap. But I’m not f---ing around,” Avenatti told attorneys for Nike in a March 20 phone call, according to a complaint unsealed Monday.

yikes... more than just the nike extortion...

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/25/michael-avenatti-to-be-charged-with-wire-and-bank-fraud.html

Quote:
In the Los Angeles case, Avenatti is accused of negotiating a $1.6 million settlement for a client in a civil case, but then giving the client "a bogus settlement agreement with a false payment date of March 10, 2018," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.

That office said "Avenatti misappropriated his client's settlement money and used it to pay expenses for his coffee business, Global Baristas US LLC, which operated Tully's Coffee stores in California and Washington state, as well as for his own expenses.:

"When the fake March 2018 deadline passed and the client asked where the money was, Avenatti continued to conceal that the payment had already been received, court documents said," according to prosecutors.

"A lawyer has a basic duty not to steal from his client," said U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles Nick Hanna.

"Mr. Avenatti is facing serious criminal charges alleging he misappropriated client trust funds for his personal use and he defrauded a bank by submitting phony tax returns in order to obtain millions of dollars in loans."

Hanna's office said Avenatti also allegedly defrauded a bank in Mississippi by submitting to that bank fake tax returns to get three loans totaling $4.1 million for his law firm and coffee business in 2014.

The tax returns indicated that he had "substantial income even though he had never filed any such returns with the Internal Revenue Service," the prosecutor's office said. "The phony returns stated that he earned $4,562,881 in adjusted gross income in 2011, $5,423,099 in 2012, and $4,082,803 in 2013 ... Avenatti allegedly also claimed he paid $1.6 million in estimated tax payments to the IRS in 2012 and paid $1.25 million in 2013."

"In reality, Avenatti never filed personal income tax returns for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and did not make any estimated tax payments in 2012 and 2013," Hanna's office said.

"Instead of the millions of dollars he claimed to have paid in taxes, Avenatti still owed the IRS $850,438 in unpaid personal income tax plus interest and penalties for the tax years 2009 and 2010. Avenatti also submitted a fictitious partnership tax return for his law firm."

I remember when The Left, The NeverTrumper's and The Media held up this guy as a paragon or virtue, someone with unimpeachable moral fiber, an angle that came to Earth to bestow us with his blessings! To save us from sin! He was the guy, on all the shows, being treated as a serious player....

Another gushing wound, another bullet hole. Another stain.

Too funny.

even stormy is quitting on him

Quote:
"Knowing what I know now about Michael Avenatti, I am saddened but not shocked by news reports that he has been criminally charged today. I made the decision more than a month ago to terminate Michael's services after discovering that he had dealt with me extremely dishonestly and there will be more announcements to come. I ask that the media respect my decision to withhold further public comment regarding Mr. Avenatti at this time."

Look at Mr. Obsession as he slowly works his way back into the realm of being obsessed. Pathetic. When I start going after his drunken ass I hope that those that profess to be oh so objective and non partisan simply stay out of my way.

He certainly became public enemy #1 to the Right. He had to figure any skeletons would be unearthed. He's no dummy.

Between Jussie Smullett, Avenatti and Geragos (co-conspirator) it seems all of Don Lemon's pals are criminals

CNN Legal Analyst Everybody...



One of the clients, Geoffrey Ernest Johnson, was a mentally ill paraplegic on disability who won a $4-million settlement of a suit against Los Angeles County. The money was wired to Avenatti in January 2015, but he hid it from Johnson for years, according to the indictment.

In 2017, Avenatti received $2.75 million in proceeds from another client’s legal settlement, but concealed that too, the indictment says. The next day, he put $2.5 million of that money into the purchase of a private jet for Passport 420, LLC, a company he effectively owned, according to prosecutors
