Who thinks 4Chan user really punked Avenatti?
They could have
It is possible
He is really just a Creepy Porn Lawyer and his posts about what happened is 4chan grade stuff. It does smell like a 4chan grade prank.
It is possible
He is denying it now, but if they post the recorded phone calls they had with him in the next 36 hours, they will be Gods of the Internet, and Creepy Porn Lawyer will forever be done. Done with CNN/PMSNBC/NYT/WP, etc and also done as being a lawyer, remember a lawyer is an officer of the court, you are expected that any complaint brought forward is legit and has merit. And that the “client” actually does exist and isn’t some internet prankster.
I think he is saying 36 hours to buy time and hope people forget. Because he doesn’t want to admit he was punk’d by 4chan.
It's not like he doesn't get nasty tweets all the time so why lock it when news broke?
