Former Media star and presidential candidate Michael Avenatti is convicted of trying to extort Nike
The
mainstream media couldn't get enough of this ambulance chaser and thought him
to be a contender to take on President Trump.He was a bum since day one and he's getting what he deserves.
AOLNews reports Michael Avenatti, the combative lawyer who gained fame by representing
a porn star in lawsuits involving President Donald Trump, was convicted Friday
of trying to extort sportswear giant Nike.
The
verdict was returned Friday by a federal jury in Manhattan following a
three-week trial in which prosecutors said Avenatti threatened to use his media
access to hurt Nike's reputation and stock price unless the company paid him up
to $25 million.
The
convictions for attempted extortion and honest services fraud carry a combined
potential penalty of 42 years in prison.
Avenatti
glared at the jurors as the verdict was being announced but said nothing.
