JFC, take a look at the L.A. Times' laundry list of shitstains this guy is involved with:
https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-avenatti-california-new-york-charges-20190326-story.html

1) Attempted blackmail of Nike (saying show me da money or I talk about illegal payments you made to H.S. players)
2) Other part of blackmail is try to extort money to pay either $1.5m to shut up or up to $22.5m to do an "investigation" which they would bury
3) Giving phony tax returns to a California bank in order to get a $14m loan from a Mississippi bank
4) In reality, those returns had to be phony, because Avenatti didn't file a personal tax return for any of those years anyway
5) Neglected to pay taxes on returns (2008-9) which he happened to get around filing anyway, to the tune of $850K
6) One of his companies, Eagan Avenatti, also never seemed to get around to filing corporate taxes from 2013-17
7) Another one of his companies (Avenatti & Associates) received  $38m in payments from Eagan Avenatti, but also never filed any returns
😎 Avenatti personally received almost $9m from his own company (Avenatti & Assoc.) and spent it on personal items, violating tax rules
9) Extorted (i.e. stole) $1.6m in a settlement he was supposed to hold for a client in California (never told the guy the money was finally there, and when it was, he spent it on his own personal luxuries) - oh, the client was declared mentally disabled from a California court, so Mike stole from a handicapped guy.  Nice touch, asshole.
10) Lied to the IRS when they asked him about the doings at Eagan Avenatti
11) Switched names of corporate entities to hide the money from the IRS when they came calling, obstructing IRS from gleaning payroll money to make up for the deficit
12) IRS hints at more coming, including money laundering and bankruptcy fraud

Fuck this guy.  Did I say fuck this guy?  Fuck this guy.  Hope he gets his ass drilled in prison so badly even Red Adair couldn't put the fire out.
 

wow.

Just pathetic. Look at the people taking this loser seriously. 

Self-aggrandizing loudmouth pathological liars make for GREAT tv. A fact that really helped get us into this mess.

Avenatti did troll the shit out of Cohen and Trump for months a year ago.  It was kinda spectacular how a sleazy porn star lawyer got down on Trump’s level and made him and his attorneys look like morons.

I long for the day when the world (re)discovers that being clever in talking shit on Twitter is not an important or impressive skill.  Nobody in the 1990s thought the best heckler in their section of the baseball stadium should be President or a fixture on CNN.

QFT.

And yet who’s probably going to jail and who is still President.

Donald Trump is a more successful criminal than Michael Avenatti! 

My president has, to date, narrowly avoided indictment on many crimes!

My president's daily lies are not illegal!

You got yourself a regular Abraham Lincoln there, podnuh.

Exactly. Avenatti being a complete piece of shit doesnt exculpate Trump from the same diagnosis. 

I've posted several times on this board and the scat board that Avenatti and Trump are basically cut from  the same cloth. Loudmouth, narcissistic buffoons who give zero shits about breaking the law. Age seems to have muddled Trump's brain, but they are basically the same miserable excuse for a person.

Five star choads is the preferred nomenclature, I believe.

Pretty sure our original assessment on Avenatti was “sometimes it takes a scumbag to catch a scumbag”

Failing to pay withholding taxes to the IRS for the employees who had it withheld from their paychecks.  Wow. 

Wouldn't shock me to see a report that Avenatti kills himself. This case doesn't appear to have an out for him.

So not only was he a criminal but he was also really, really bad at it.

Classic case of a white collar criminal that gets in so deep, the risks being taken become ridiculous.

Nonpayment of 941 (employer witholding) tax is fairly common among failing businesses.  It's also very srs business to the IRS as it's the employee's money held in trust for the IRS.

But stealing them to pay personal expenses is a whole other kettle of fish.

The IRS is very aggressive with unpaid 941 taxes.  They will come get your shit.  Liability can extend to anyone who signs the checks.

If I can give one piece of legal advice to surl business owners, it's this: do not fuck around with 941 taxes.  Hire a payroll company to handle it.

I suppose I should add, pretty short-term non-payment of 941 payroll taxes is pretty common in failing small companies.  The owners may want to make one last payroll or partial payroll but can't quite swing it with taxes, so they fuck it up for a pay period or two.  The IRS remains very unforgiving, but it's not a disaster.

Doing it repeatedly in an ongoing business as did Avenatti, apparently, is seriously fucked up, and usually results in IRS seizure and shuttering of a business.

Sweatergawd political twitter is a sign of the apocalypse.

 

In the final analysis, this guy was just kiting checks.  Really big checks.

Sometimes you’re shithammered, just want a pizza, you’re broke, and Gumby’s takes checks.

Not that I know anything about that.

Damn....

He is an even bigger piece of shit than we ever suspected...

Not sure what is worse. How long this dude got away with being a total slime ball or fact that he was a mainstay on cable news for an extended period and nobody is demanding an answer for " why they fell for this shyster" or "why they didn't do more digging into to him below they dedicated all the airtime to him"...

 

This guy took his 15 minutes and fame and has now crashed back to earth in spectacular fireball..

I think this is the part that is hardest for me to understand. If you know you are already under investigation why keep doing more shady shit?

Was he hoping that his shots at Trump would win him a benafactor to just make his other legal troubles go away? Was he shooting for one big score and was going to disappear? WTF was he thinking?

 

I  am also eagerly awaiting this bafoon to try and represent himself at trial. It would be must watch tv to see this idiot name drop various sleazy innuendos trying to score pints on the way out...

It is not that uncommon,** on a smaller scale, for lawyers to "borrow" some client funds in a pinch with the intention of paying it back before anyone knows.  Often this is fueled by an addiction or some profound depression  leading to mismanagement of the practice or some temporary debt (drugs, loan sharks, etc.).

**Not that uncommon in the sense that it is one of the most common grounds for disbarment.  And we're talking tens or in a brazen case, a hundred, thousand or so.  It's usually a pretty sad, pathetic outcome.

This guy was living large, very large, on OPM.  I hope he gets 25 years.

To be fair to Avenatti, that one guy really didn't need the money considering he totally had it made by getting to sit in a sweet ass wheelchair all day and just chill.  Would that be a good defense strategy?  "So this guy gets to sit in a wheelchair and never has to stand AND he wants his money?  Is there no bottom to this man's indulgence and avarice?  Have you no shame, Mr. Greedy Ironside?"

Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how does that total loser Pete Davidson save his dieing mediocre career by playing me and get away with these total Democratic hit jobs without retribution? This is the real quid pro quo. Investigate!!!

You know, all I ask from this shitshow of a country is that I be entertained. I am entertained now.

Correct. EVERY time I’ve been taken into custody by federal agents during one of my bar disciplinary hearings, it was a hot mess.
