Michael Avenatti, former attorney for Stormy Daniels, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in California on 36 counts, including embezzling from a paraplegic, court documents released Thursday show.
Avenatti, 48, faces charges of wire fraud, failure to collect and withhold payroll taxes, attempting to obstruct the IRS, failing to file tax returns, aggravated identity fraud, bank fraud and false testimony under oath during bankruptcy.
The lawyer was arrested March 25 on some of the counts, but the 61-page indictment filed by a federal grand jury late Wednesday "significantly broadens the scope of the case," according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.

The neat thing is the government impounded his private jet, since, with all the charges, he might have chosen to take a hastily planned trip to Havana, Cuba.

What a pig
NOT
I believe he also stated a PAC where he said it was to help democrat candidates but instead he used the money for his own needs.
I knew he was a train wreck from the beginning.
Allowing that they can’t bring Obama back, I can’t think of a Democrat more qualified to bring on the type of governance Hillary would have.
With what has been revealed, and if it is in deed true, Avenatti would be a shoe-in to get the dem nom if he decided to run.
Maybe he can hire Anna Nicole’s lawyer to represent him.
Sleazy Porn Lawyers gotta make a living too!
But seriously, what a scumbag.
So then, he’s even worse than a CPL.
He’s downright evil. Wow.
As Scarlett O’Hara might have said “Why steal from the rich when it is so easy to steal from the crippled?”
Maybe he can have the trial moved to Chicago, they go really easy on fraud...Oh wait, oops. He’s the incorrect race. He’s effed
Oh well,run with the sh*t stirrers,
sooner or later ya get flushed.
Sounds like good Democrat Presidential material to me!
CNN vetted this guy.
Bkmk
You forgot the < /sarcasm > tag....
But I suppose it was implied.
Looks like hopes are being dashed for the rats front runner status! But hey, Bernie wants to give rights to felons in order to vote, who’s to say that a front runner can’t emerge from confinement.
If you’ve tried to keep up with the charges against him, it’s clear he’s one of the world’s slipperiest shysters. Indeed, it’s just about impossible to know where all of his assets are and where they’re hidden. With the massive set of charges in two different jurisdictions, assets probably hidden all over the U.S. and in various foreign countries, and his own private jet, he was a huge flight risk just waiting to happen.
I’m truly surprised that the Government has not imposed a $10,000,000 bond on him, as it did with Paul Manafort, Avenatti being a light years worse flight risk than Manafort ever was. Another great advantage of such a high bond is it would force Avenatti to disclose his assets in a way no direct court order ever could because he’d have to disclose them or await trail in jail.
This scumbag was the darling of MSM when he was going on about Trump’s fitness to be POTUS many of whom said Avenatti would make a good candidate. It is the definition of moral bankruptcy.
