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

[Tighthead]

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.

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.

This news is so disappointing

I'm not the least bit surprised.

Yup, she poofed her entire account.

I would love for this slime to get at least 25 years - 50 would be amazing

I wonder what she or any of his wives/girlfriends know about his business dealings.

 

[Billycat]

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

LOL! The way we're going, might enhance it!

 

[ilovewings]

he has always gotten on my one last nerve---i think he craves attention-- for a while MSNBC had him on every night, when he represented Stormy Daniels--i changed the channel-
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.

The pinned tweet is back now. How can a twitter account disappear and then reappear?
