Michael Avenatti was just found guilty on all charges in his Nike extortion trial
Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti was convicted by a Manhattan jury on Friday on all three charges concerning his attempts to extort up to $25 million from Nike.
Avenatti was jailed last month after the judge revoked his bail following accusations that he committed additional financial crimes.
The 48-year-old litigator made headlines when he began working with his former client Stormy Daniels two years ago.
Avenatti will be tried in two other criminal cases in federal court on charges that he defrauded multiple clients and stole millions of dollars.
The disgraced attorney was accused of threatening to expose allegations that amateur basketball players were engaged in bribery unless the company paid him off. He was charged with transmission of interstate communications with intent to extort, honest services wire fraud, attempted extortion.
Avenatti, who was made famous by his representation of porn star and director Stormy Daniels, was jailed last month after the federal district court judge following accusations that he committed more financial crimes while out on bail.
Avenatti will be tried in two other criminal cases in federal court on charges that he defrauded multiple clients and stole millions of dollars. In one case, he's been charged with taking over $295,000 from Daniels' book advance and using the money for his own personal expenses.
The 48-year-old litigator started making national headlines two years ago when he began representing Daniels, who says she had an affair with President Donald Trump.
Just days before the 2016 US election, Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen arranged a $130,000 payment to Daniels to keep her silent about an affair she says she had with Trump in 2006.
Avenatti sued the president, on Daniels' behalf, accusing Trump of invalidating a non-disclosure agreement, and of defaming Daniels.

South Korean media said the trade official was arrested and immediately shot. Kim Jong-un has imposed military law to enforce the coronavirus quarantine. North Korea has no confirmed cases but has taken strict quarantine measures.
"Strict quarantine measures"...that's a nice way to put it.

Jussie Smollett indicted
On a tip from Ed Kilbane
About time.
Barry and his wife had direct involvement with Kim Foxx trying to rig the Smollett case just like Barry tried to rig the election. Despite a mountain of evidence, suddenly out of the blue, the case was dropped to the disbelief of everyone. But Smollett, the dirty bastard, couldn’t leave well enough alone wanting another bite of the apple by attempting to sue the city which I think came back to bite him on the ass. Kim Foxx is going the way of Mike Nifong and not a minute too soon. A few more may go with her. Of course, Barry and his wife will get off scot-free.
--------------------------
Hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett was indicted Tuesday on 6 new charges of disorderly conduct by a special prosecutor in Chicago more than one year after he falsely claimed two white Trump supporters attacked him with bleach and put a rope around his neck.
It turned out Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers $3,500 to help him carry out the hate hoax.
Surveillance video showed the Osundairo brothers purchasing rope, red hats and other supplies to prepare for the hoax.
Chicago prosecutors out of State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office dropped charges against actor Jussie Smollett in March of last year, sparking outrage.
All 16 felony counts against Jussie Smollett were dropped and wiped clean from his record.
All charges were dropped so a special prosecutor was appointed 6 months ago to Smollett’s hate hoax case.
Smollett may finally be brought to justice!
Fox 32 reported:
