Creepy Porn Lawyer Sentenced to 2 1/2 Years
Michael Avenatti
Michael Avenatti, called the “Creepy Porn Lawyer” who represented porn actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against Donald Trump, was sentenced to 2-1/2 years in prison on Thursday for trying to extort Nike.
US District Judge Paul Gardephe in Manhattan said Avenatti, 50, “had become drunk on the power of his platform” in betraying his client, a youth basketball coach, for his own gain.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer fellow.
Michael Avenatti sentenced to 2.5 years in prison in Nike extortion case
Avenatti convicted of trying to extort up to $25 million from sportswear giant

A Manhattan federal judge on Thursday sentenced disgraced California lawyer Michael Avenatti to two-and-a-half years in prison over his attempt to extort an estimated $25 million from Nike.
Avenatti, 50, was convicted on charges of trying to extort up to $25 million from the Beaverton, Oregon-based sportswear giant when he represented a Los Angeles youth basketball league organizer upset Nike had ended its league sponsorship.
“Michael Avenatti used illegal and extortionate threats and betrayed one of his clients for the purpose of seeking to obtain millions of dollars for himself,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said in a Thursday statement. “Not only did Avenatti attempt to weaponize his law license and celebrity to seek to extort payments for himself, he also defrauded his own client.”

Judge Paul Gardephe described Avenatti’s conduct as “outrageous” during Thursday’s trial, according to Reuters. Several journalists also noted on Twitter that the lawyer was seen crying in court before giving his speech.
Alright, Creepy Weepy Porn Lawyer, then. Hat tip to David for the inspiration.

Ha also cried like a baby at his hearing.
Cried like the little bytch his is… too bad he probably is going to a “Club Fed” prison in stead of getting to know Bubba, Thor, Julio, Mr. “Tiny” and the others in cell block “C”
Yeah, he is a dick, but give him some credit for shaking down woke Nike, who would rather pay sub par athletes who hate America millions rather than providing a living wage to to the salves who make their product in Third World Sweatshops.
Very true. But my brother has worked on Nike projects. He says they are totally ruthless, like the mob. They don’t back down. Too bad for him CPL didn’t know this.
The first thing the Nike honchos did after their extortion pow-wow with CPL was call the Fan Belt Inspectors an play that incriminating audio tape.
CPL and Nike deserve eachother.
He was the media’s darling during The Kavanaugh Nomination/Media Circus/Failed DEMOPS Mission. I’ll say this now. Avenatti didn’t commit suicide.
See my comment on the Cuomo article. It lays out CPL’s next encounter in federal court next week. This next trial will likely get him about 12 to 20 more years in the slammer.
Phildo should think outside of the box on this one.
This clown partnered with Lori Benton defending / assisting the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics)?
The sky is the limit.
So has he now been disbarred like someone who went full lawn dat? I remember reading about how they wasted no time seizing his assets, office, airplane, you name it. I wonder if he can even get hired as a Truck Stop Dishwasher once he’s out of PMITA prison?
No, he will only be suspended until his conviction is final after his appeal is over. Then the state bar will move to disbar him.
Remember when CNN made CPL their talkface darling?
He became a daily fixture on CNN with the worst of the talkfaces, for 18 months or so, because CNN thought CPL would lead the charge to the takedown of President Trump.
And then CPL became full of himself.
CPL thought he could be(come) the next president.
A few embarrassments later, CNN threw CPL under the bus.
Sucks to be arrogant, and full of shit.
Hey, those are Stolen Valor phony traits.
Lots of 2018 here… mostly unwatchable today,
even for TDS Democrats, who cheered on CPL for over 1 year.

By the last count, the lame stream media had him on their various TV shows about 163 times.
Remember how the liberal shitbirds in the mainstream media used to gush over him and dildoheads like Major Moonbat were screeching how he was going to do this and that? I bet they’ll consign him to the same ash heap they cast the likes of Bradley Manning and Cindy Sheehag to!
A Proud Infidel@,
Deja Vu Doo.
I was typing the same thing, at the same time, just above.
It’s all on CNN. Then, and now.
Under the bus treatment now underway.
But CNN can’t undo all the (saved) live broadcasts from 2018.
And I never heard the apologies nor retractions from CNN.

‘Avenatti is also facing the start of a fraud trial next week in the Los Angeles area, a second California criminal trial later this year and a separate trial next year in Manhattan, where he is charged with cheating Daniels out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.’
Might be time to dial up some Arkancide…or whatever Jeffrey Epstein got.
Naw, I doubt he has any dirt on high level clintonistas. He will likely do fine in prison; he will become a jailhouse lawer, once they get him into Club Fed.
Hack Stone does not want to live in a world where a porn actress can get cheated out of money by a shifty lawyer.
The Central District Court is right in the middle of Downtown L.A. People will likely have to walk around the homeless camped on the sidewalk to get into the building.
As for Porny Daniels, he forged her signature on the book advance check for $300K and embezzled the money. That trial isn’t scheduled until 2022. Hopefully, he will be arriving in prison orange for that one.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton extort money from businesses all of the time, and they don’t go to prison, they go to the White House.
