Quoted:
Arguably, he had made it. There are few trial attorneys with judgments in the millions of dollars, far fewer much have judgments in the hundreds of millions. The median attorney salary is 119,000. citation The structure of a service salary necessarily limits the possible return. Avenatti knew this and that's why he tried the coffee company. He failed. Then, he compounded his failure by throwing good money after bad. For most of us, this money would consist of personal assets, loans, extensions of credit, or new outside investment. Instead, it appears he defrauded the IRS and stole client funds. This is unforgivable and a normal man would lose his license and do time. His arrogance and greed were his undoing. |

Quoted:
He was trying to live the "rich person" lifestyle because he understood that contact were everything, whether in law or any other business. So he funded a false image by stealing from clients and the IRS. That was the fake it part. The make it part he never reached. The make it part would be if he had made enough money that he could settle or quietly pay off all the people he ripped off. That's where the $15-25 million shake-down effort at Nike came in, same with the Trump fiasco. He knew the walls were closing in and was making some last, desperate gambles to get enough to pay people back. I also think that's what was behind his Presidential "run." Make it politically delicate to arrest him and hope that bought some more time. Damn, you're good at connecting the dots. |

Celebrity attorney Mark Geragos raged against CNN and threatened to tell all after the network dropped him in light of his alleged involvement in the Nike extortion plot.
On Tuesday, the network announced it was parting ways with the longtime legal contributor. “God forbid that I start telling some of the stories for how I’ve covered for that lame-ass organization,” Geragos railed on “The Adam Carolla Show” on Tuesday. ... Geragos — who represented Michael Jackson and whose current clients include Jussie Smollett and Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman in the Nxivm sex cult case — claims he’d been a CNN contributor for two decades. “They ought to change their name to the ‘Cut and Run Network,’” Geragos told Carolla. “I’ve been texted by all of their anchors who are as outraged as I am that after 20 years, a press conference is enough to have them immediately want to disassociate themselves.” |
| The AUSA should contact him & tell him he can have immunity if he turns over some bigger fish at CNN (& he surrenders his law license). |

A U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman, Thom Mrozek, confirmed to Fox News that federal agents seized a Honda HA-420 twin-engine jet from Santa Barbara Airport about 10 a.m. after a federal judge issued a warrant.
The plane was originally scheduled to be flown Wednesday to Orange County on Avenatti's behalf, but pilots had to file a new flight plan to San Bernardino County. “Federal authorities have seized a jet co-owned by Mr. Avenatti pursuant to a seizure warrant issued by a federal judge. This seizure is related to the pending criminal case in Los Angeles,” a federal official told Fox News. Avenatti told Fox News on Wednesday: “I haven’t used the plane in almost a year and I gave up my interest last year. I have no interest in the plane and could care less.” |
