Subhead:The sentence would run consecutively with a prison term Avenatti is already serving in an embezzlement case involving former adult film actor Stormy Daniels.

The sentence would run consecutively with a four-year sentence handed down in a separate case in New York involving former adult film actor Stormy Daniels.

Avenatti, who once represented Daniels, was found guilty in February of stealing $300,000 of the $800,000 advance Daniels was paid for her book “Full Disclosure,” which included details about an affair she says she had with Donald Trump before he was president.

In the California case, Avenatti admitted pocketing millions of dollars that belonged to clients and lying to them about it, prosecutors said when he pleaded guilty in June.

As the owner of Global Baristas US LLC, which operated Tully’s Coffee, Avenatti admitted to keeping $5 million in payroll taxes.

Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 7.

He is certainly less crooked than Chomo Joe. And I”ve never seen Avenatti grope little girls on video.

He should get life, without the possibility of parole just based on his general douchebagginess. His fraud and blackmail crimes are nothing compared to that.

I am aware the article is two weeks old. That’s why I posted to General/Chat.

I searched for this article by title, and found that it had not been already posted.
