Attorney Michael Avenatti was charged on Monday with trying to extort $20 million from Nike, according to records filed in Manhattan federal court by prosecutors.

He allegedly tried to extract millions in payments from Nike 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, according to a complaint filed by the FBI in the Southern District of New York.

Earlier Monday, Avenatti tweeted that he would be holding a press conference Tuesday “to disclose a major high school/college basketball scandal perpetrated by @Nike that we have uncovered.”

“This criminal conduct reaches the highest levels of Nike and involves some of the biggest names in college basketball,” he added.

Until earlier this month, Michael Avenatti represented porn star Stormy Daniels in her legal actions against President Donald Trump. Daniels alleges she had an affair with Trump, which the president has denied.

  1. Was having my lunch in a restaurant when I read this. Unintentionally let out a laugh when I read this. I could tell people wondered what I was seeing on my phone. Finished eating with a big stupid grin on my face and left a bigger tip than usual.

  2. Avenatti seems to engage in the type of behavior that I expect from a Trump hating Democrat or a long term cocaine/Meth addict.

    Or maybe both.

    Wonder if he could be?

  3. The Creepy Democrat Girlfriend and Wife Beating Perjury Suborning Tax Evading Office Rent Dodging Divorced Wife Support Avoiding Shyster Asshole Porn Lawyer has added Wire and Bank Fraud and Nike Extorting to his resume! Avanatti is now more qualified to run for President than almost any other candidate in the political party that gave us Lyndon Baines Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Billy Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama (and nearly President Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton). What more proof do we need to confirm that what goes around comes around if we just wait long enough.

  4. Tim – LOL!
    My first thought. Oh, by the way, why does NIKE go after Creepy Porn Lawyer but they and other companies fold like a Kmart lawn chair when a black or hispanic person does this crap? IN PUBLIC.
