Other night saw a replay of his interview/argument with Tucker.
Even though Tucker was right and didn’t back down I didn’t think it was a slam dunk...Avenatti showed no shame or misgivings about his behavior.
He tried to borrow money from my nephew a few years back and right away my nephew turned it down due to an obvious rotten deal. MA drove about 5 really fancy cars and all were leased. He is just a low life scammer. All show...no substance.
The ability to speak and act shamelessly is a foundation skill of con men, which Avenatti certainly is.
I know a guy like Avenatti, albeit much smaller-time. Lived way beyond his means. When I first met him, I walked away thinking "gee, I really messed up in life." Here he is, constantly giving orders to people over his super-expensive cell phone, living on twenty acres, pool, tennis court, gazebo, the works. I've got my little suburban house, a ten-year-old car, struggling to pay for my kid's college tuition. What a dummy I must be.
Then I find out that being one of his "friends" means being constantly hit up for loans.
A few years later, it all collapsed. It was all borrowed money, every bit of it. A stretch in jail ensued, then mysterious fires. Property taken away, Lexuses taken away, all dust in the wind. I don't know where he is today.
