GUILTY NY - Michael Avenatti arrested for extortion of millions of dollars from Nike, 2019

Allred was likely advocating aggressively as a representative of her client. She was working on her client's behalf. Sounds like Avenatti was aggressive for his own benefit.

It is ugly all around.

I guess the key is to frame it as a legitimate cause of action, and then negotiate it as a settlement with a confidentiality clause.

I recall Letterman’s mistress getting arrested. A good lawyer may have got her a payday.

I would think between Avenati's failure to file or pay taxes for 3 years and the college entry-fake $25 million charity scam involving something like 70 people the IRS wouldn't be interested in my silly little taxes as I'm desperately trying to find my Costco receipts for $100 worth of Rx meds from 2018.

Well, Avenatti might have had a legit claim his client was alleging. We don't know. But Avenatti went beyond that and was demanding money for himself. I am not a lawyer but I think that is the key point. Jmo

The more I read about "Stormy Daniels" the more I am impressed with her smarts.
She's very sharp with quite a sense of humor.

Wow. He didnt file or pay any taxes in 2011, 2012, 2013 and yet he sent fake tax documents to a Mississippi company for multiple loans.

What a mess.

Seems to be a popular thing to do nowadays, doesn’t it.

Wow. Avenatti's ex-wife just deleted her tweet that he has pinned. If I recall it was a show of support about co-parenting.

Looks like she deleted her twitter account?

What I have learned from the recent big criminal convictions is if you are going to do a crime, go for the big bucks. You get a fairly low sentence in reltionship to the dollar amount.

Do you all think this will hamper his chances of becoming POTUS?

cant stand him

At least recently, Geragos acted for Colin Kaepernick. I’m not sure if he is still retained as that action settled.

Kaepernick is a high profile Nike endorser.

It may not be a strict conflict of interest but it’s unusual.

There is a separate thread about Geragos.

I just looked over his twitter account after reading the full complaint. I think he needs to go to the psych ward after prison. Something is really wrong with him.
