NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Avenatti, the brash California lawyer who publicly sparred with then-President Donald Trump before criminal fraud charges on two coasts disrupted his rapid ascent to fame, faces sentencing in one of those cases Thursday.
Over a year after a jury concluded Avenatti tried to extort millions of dollars from Nike by threatening the company with bad publicity, U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe will sentence him in Manhattan. Avenatti was convicted on charges that he tried to extort up to $25 million from the Beaverton, Oregon-based sportswear giant as he represented a Los Angeles youth basketball league organizer upset Nike had ended its league sponsorship.

Predicting 7 years ballpark for Avenatti the extortionist lawyer scum.
He’ll be eligible to run for president just in time for 2024.
Ahh, the CPL
(Creepy Porn Lawyer)
Poor guy.
Hunter got away with 10 times more garbage. And Avenatti goes to jail.
But this can’t be. Drumpf was supposed to go to prison! Waaa!
Surprised he hasn’t been released with no charges
Feed him to the worms.
Good thing that bribe-taking extortionist scumbag isn’t president. But enough about Joe Biden...
His new roomates will think he is cute..
Let me be first to say, “Avenatti didn’t hang himself”
Is this before or after he’s anointed POTUS by the media?
LOL. The Bubba’s will really like him.
You may recall CNN was in love with Avenatti, just couldn’t get enough of this pump & dump.
Michael Avenatti has appeared on CNN and MSNBC 108 times since March 7, says Free Beacon ... this was the spring of 2018. CNN in one of their gushing interviews suggested he should run for President.
Actually he has been under house arrest because of Covid. I'm sure they will end up sticking him in one of those country club jails.
Avenatti’s legs are still sensitive to light and touch, as a result of the constant humping performed by CNN interviewers over the course of 3 months.
“CNN in one of their gushing interviews suggested he should run for president’’.
Such high standards CNN doth have, eh?
he got 2.5 years.
He had the audacity to go after a big Chinese owned company, Nike.
