CFP: Michael Avenatti cries in court as he is sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for Nike extortion
Michael Avenatti was sentenced Thursday to just 30 months in prison for a brazen scheme to extort athletic apparel giant Nike out of up to $25 million.
That sentence was much lower than the nine years that was the bottom of the sentencing range suggested by federal guidelines, and not anywhere close to “a substantial” prison term sought by federal prosecutors.
“Mr. Avenatti’s conduct was outrageous,” said Judge Paul Gardephe said in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, where he also sentenced Avenatti to three years of supervised release. He hijacked his client’s claims, and he used him to further his own agenda, which was to extort Nike millions of dollars for himself.” more here
Hardest hit: Brian Stelter
Remember when he said his fantasies involved handcuffs?😂
HaHa HaHa, er, hehehe hehe, hubris is a bitch. Speaking of bitch, well, ptoson’s a bitch, Bitch!
umm, “ptoson’s” is supposed to be “prison’s”. Sheesh, did I ever screw that one up.
The only people crying harder is the media.
They perp-walked Michael Avenatti; he cried
… like a baby-back BITCH! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh come on, hell have better medical and dental than I could hope for being on Medicare. He gets clothes along with free room and board.
He probably could get a hair transplant and a sex change if he wanted to.
“Made it, Ma! Top of the world!” How unmanly and unseemly for Basta Boy to grovel and cry like a framed crooked lawyer. “He finally got to the top of the world and it blew right up in his face.” Apologies to Cody Jarrett for using those lines from “White Heat.”
30 months? That’s it?? Will he also get conjugal visits from Sloppy Daniels?
Since it’s the NIKE case, his bitch ass may actually do the whole 2.5 years.
Although, I don’t know why they’d give him so little time for it. You can get 7 years for one count of bank/credit card fraud.
Hearing the “Godfather” theme as he tearfully perp walks out of court and transported to jail. LOL!

You know what Avanatti is hearing right now?…
“Fresh Fish!… Fresh Fish!…”
I’m sure there will be a book deal and it will all be Trumps fault.
They say he had Ferrari & a corporate jet etc.
Whenever I see a slime bag in a Ferrari I always think,” How many honest trades people did he stiff to get that car & go out for fine dining as he loudly orders a $350 bottle of wine”?
Keep crying grease ball, apparently you have a few more court cases ahead of you.
I cried too, from laughing so hard.
But he was “presidential” material!
Is it wrong for me to wish he gets ass-raped every single day?
Before he gets dressed in orange, Avenatti needs to bleach is anus and get it tattooed: ‘please be gentle, I’m a shyster lawyer’.
If he dies in jail, it’ll be hard to know for sure: did he, or was he, ‘suicided’?
Nike sux as hard as Avenatti.
One of those fights where, whoever wins, there’s no justice.
“A pox on both their houses!”
izlamo delenda est …
2.5 years is a joke.
What I didn’t notice is if they yanked his law license FOREVER!
That would be justice.
