And don’t let the common lefties forget about the verbal blowjobs they gave him, either.
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Michael Avenatti, the brash lawyer recently sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison a $25 million extortion case in New York, is expected to face a trial Wednesday in California on charges he embezzled millions from his clients.
Opening statements are scheduled in Santa Ana in the second trial this month for Avenatti, who once represented porn actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump. Avenatti is expected to represent himself in the case after U.S. District Court Judge James V. Selna on Tuesday granted his request to do so.
Federal prosecutors in Southern California have accused the 50-year-old lawyer, who is currently suspended from practicing law in California, of cheating five of his clients out of nearly $10 million by negotiating and collecting settlement payments on their behalf and funneling them to accounts he controlled.
In one case, authorities said Avenatti collected $4 million from Los Angeles County for a man who suffered injuries in custody and was left paraplegic after a suicide attempt. Avenatti denied the settlement was received and paid much smaller amounts to the man ranging from $1,000 to $1,900, which he said were advances on the broader settlement, prosecutors said in court filings. more here
He got 2 1/2 yrs for one client in NY.
Maybe he’ll get 12 1/2 yrs for 5 in CA on top of that for a grand total of 15 yrs.
I wonder if there are charges pending in other states.
Seems like only yesterday all of the drive by media hacks were swooning over this shyster, even touting him as a presidential candidate. What a freaking joke!
He has other lawsuits waiting, and tons of cash he needs to pay out.
Is he going to off himself or does he have too much conceit to make a noose out of don lemon’s thong?
I never noticed “verbal” blowjobs
He’s Dem President material alright, would fit right in.
He’s gotta be shaking his head trying to figure out how a demented, stumbling, bumbling, arrogant Jackass managed to scarf up tens of millions of dollars and remain “untouchable”
Itz a big club Mikey and you ain’t in it!
HA, HA!
The Creepy Porn Lawyer will make a great number of new friends in the Federal Wine and Cheese Pairing Facilities, where he will write Appeals and Writs for protection from his Suitors. It’s kind of ironic that his future legal career will be entirely pro boner.
He certainly gives lawyers a bad name.
