…….Will get an MSNBS show. OK, kidding about the MSNBS gig. Although, it could happen given the level of Trump obsession with destroying Trump. Victory Girls has the story
Amazingly, CNN reported this afternoon that their once favorite media darling, Michael Avenatti was handed a 14 year prison sentence after embezzling from several of his clients.
Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced Monday to 14 years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $11 million in restitution for embezzling millions of dollars from four of his clients and obstruction.
Avenatti pleaded guilty earlier this year to four counts of wire fraud for each client he stole from and one count of endeavoring to obstruct the administration of the Internal Revenue Code. Prosecutors said he obstructed the IRS’ effort to collect $5 million in unpaid payroll taxes for Tully’s Coffee.
The sentence handed down by federal district Judge James Selna will begin after Avenatti completes a five-year prison term he’s currently serving after being convicted in two separate trials in New York.
Selna also ordered Avenatti to pay over $10 million in restitution to four clients and to the IRS.
Now if you forgot how big a scumbag Avenatti is….
There’s oh so much to unpack here! First, one of the clients Avenatti embezzled from is a paraplegic.
The charge involving the paraplegic man says Avenatti drained a $4 million settlement paid out to the client by Los Angeles County, using “portions of the settlement to finance his coffee business or pay personal expenses,” the U.S. attorney’s office statement said.
