Avenatti ordered to pay $4.85M in ex-colleague's lawsuit
The Hill ^ | 10/22/18 | Avery Anapol

Posted on 10/22/2018 11:19:30 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing adult-film star Stormy Daniels in her legal battles against President Trump, has been ordered by a federal judge to pay $4.85 million in a dispute with a former colleague.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Dennis Landin on Monday ordered Avenatti to pay the money to Jason Frank, the ex-colleague who sued him over an unpaid debt.

The San Diego Tribune reported that Frank also won a $10 million judgment against Avenatti’s firm, Eagan Avenatti.

Frank’s attorney, Eric George, told the paper that “finally the right thing happened” after Landin’s ruling.

“My client has had an awful lot of money owed to him for a lengthy period of time, and it has been delayed through one tactic or another,” he said.

Avenatti claimed in a statement to The Hill that Frank owes him and his law firm Avenatti & Associates $12 million.

“Any judgment issued against me will be deducted from the over $12 million that Jason Frank owes me and my law firm Avenatti & Associates as a result of his fraud,” he told The Hill. “We look forward to receiving his check for over $7 million.”

Avenatti’s firm has been embroiled with financial troubles for months. Earlier this year, a federal bankruptcy judge issued a restraining order against Eagan Avenatti to freeze the firm's spending on legal fees over $10 million in unpaid debt and back taxes.

Eagan Avenatti was also at the center of a court judgment on Monday over an alleged $213,254 in unpaid rent.

How does he have money problems? How much is Stormy paying him? What about the Swetnick(sp?) Woman from the Kavanaugh uproar? Does he collect his accounts receivable?

...How much is Stormy paying him?....

If Stormy is planning to raise the money by lap dancing she'll look like Helen Thomas long before paying that much.

Can we maybe get this same judge to preside over a suit to force Fat Albert Sharpton to pay his debt to the IRS? The racial optics of this situation are poor.

Avenatti’s financial dam is bursting - now only this lawsuit, but a very messy and expensive divorce, as well as unpaid business expenses and tax liens.

He will want to do that soon so as to get it out of the way before he becomes president in two years.

“Any judgment issued against me will be deducted from the over $12 million that Jason Frank owes me and my law firm Avenatti & Associates as a result of his fraud,” he told The Hill. “We look forward to receiving his check for over $7 million.”

I wonder how the judge who ordered the payment will feel when he finds out that Avenatti's response was "I'm not paying it, here's some excuse".
