Avenatti ordered to hand over $4.85 million in back pay

FOX: Michael Avenatti — the lawyer who became famous representing porn star Stormy Daniels, later served as counsel for a woman whose claims of a gang rape ring run by a Supreme Court nominee were quickly cast into doubt and who is now mentioned as a possible 2020 Democratic presidential candidate — was ordered to pay nearly $5 million to an attorney at his former firm, a California judge ruled Monday.

The judge at the hearing in Los Angeles County Superior Court – which Avenatti did not attend — said Avenatti must pay $4.85 million because he personally guaranteed a settlement with attorney Jason Frank in a lawsuit over back pay.

Frank had alleged the firm misstated its profits and he was owed millions.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Dennis Landin issued the ruling after turning down a request from Avenatti to have the matter moved to federal court, which the opposing side called a delay tactic.

Monday’s decision also follows an earlier ruling from a U.S. bankruptcy court judge who ordered Avenatti’s former firm to pay $10 million to Frank.  more

  1. So has he been trying to scam stupid leftists into building him an election war chest he could raid when he surely loses? Anyway, that should be the last we hear of him.

  2. I hope this doesn’t distract from the Creepy Porn Lawyer’s pursuit of the Democrat Party’s nomination to represent his clients in their assault on our country’s values. He is such a great example of where Osmidgen’s eight years brought the Democrat Party. They really are exposing themselves as the party of prostitutes and porn stars. Run, Creepy, run!
