Michael Avenatti, the revolting left-wing lawyer who has been the darling of cable news with more than 100 appearances, garnering $175 million's worth of free publicity, got slapped with a $10-million fine from some judge fed up with his failure to pay his bills.

Avenatti, whose stated mission is some grandiose quest to expose the supposed awfulness of President Trump, promised and promised to make payments to the IRS and fellow lawyers in his other business dealings – and then ran out on his tab.

Had enough?

The Los Angeles Times has an excellent rundown about this guy:

A law firm of Stormy Daniels' attorney Michael Avenatti was hit with a $10-million judgment Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court after he broke his promise to pay $2 million to a former colleague.

Judge Catherine Bauer of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Santa Ana ordered Eagan Avenatti to pay the $10 million to Jason Frank, a lawyer who used to work at the Newport Beach firm.

I read somewhere he claims to have an internet site setup that allows for anonymous donations (similar to what Obama had once). So probably straight from Soros etc.

The answer lies in his bank records which he refused to turn over
to the court. Hence the $10 million judgment against him.

Maybe the FBI should raid his office, seize all of his property and records, then leak out the bank records.

But doubt we will see that any time soon.

——CNN will pay it.-—

That payment will be income and he will then be required to fork over 37% * 10,000, 000= or $3,700, 000 in cash to the irs
