Attorney Michael Avenatti pleaded not guilty to extorting Nike by threatening to go public with damaging information if they did not pay him $25 million.
Avenatti, who rose to fame while defending porn star Stormy Daniels in her efforts against President Trump, was accused by prosecutors of trying to extort Nike for $25 million after threatening to reveal that the sportswear giant had improperly paid college athletes. Nike denied any wrongdoing related to payments to athletes and turned Avenatti over to authorities before he could go public with the story.
The prosecution dropped two counts of conspiracy but added a charge of honest services fraud because Avenatti allegedly failed to disclose to the courts that Nike offered to settle the case. Avenatti pleaded not guilty to all counts, according to Reuters.
Avenatti’s lawyer, Scott Srebnick, argued that the prosecution had originally argued that “Avenatti was shaking down Nike” but that their case had changed to bribery solicitation. He added, “It’s hard to know from this indictment exactly what this bribery scheme was.” read more

Every time, now and then, I see a pic of him, I think…DICK head.
Most prosecutors are leftists. Most judges are leftists. Nike is run by leftists. Does anyone here think Avenatti will ever see jail time?
IF ANYONE’S GOING TO DIE IN PRISON, SHOULDN’T IT BE THIS SCUMFUCK??
If they rush things, the Creepy Porn Lawyer can throw his dick in the ring. This could make him very desirable as Mayor Buttplugger’s running mate. I’m sure that his husband won’t mind. After all, he’s the equivalent of the Magical Homosexualist now, and he can do no wrong with the Fundamental Transformers.
That son of a bitch bounced a check to me.
