    Michael Avenatti arrested for alleged $20 million extortion attempt against Nike

    Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti has been arrested on charges related to an alleged $20 million extortion of the athletic apparel company Nike, federal authorities said Monday.

    A press conference is scheduled to discuss the charges against Avenatti in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon. Avenatti is due to be presented in federal court on Monday.

    A criminal complaint against Avenatti says he "devised a scheme to extort a company by means of an interstate communication by threatening to damage the company's reputation if the company did not agree to make multi-million dollar payments to Avenatti and [co-conspirator], and further agree to pay an additional $1.5 million to a client of Avenatti's."

    The complaint says that last Wednesday, Avenatti and a cooperating witness spoke by phone with lawyers for Nike "during which Avenatti stated, with respect to his demands for payment of milions of dollars, that if those demands were not met 'I'll go take ten billion dollars off your client's market cap ... I'm not f---ing around.' "

    The bigger story -- one which is being overshadowed by the Nike thing -- is the arrest in Los Angeles involving the falsification of documents and theft of client funds.

    There's a strong paper trail that Avenatti basically stole $1.5 million of client settlement money, and then spent months denying to the client that his office had received the payment.

    And he falsified documents to get away with a lot of this.

    He's going to have a hard time worming out of this one.

    Also, apparently he cited false incomes to obtain large loans, which again is going to be hard to deny.

    I can't believe some idiots on the left actually liked this guy. It's been clear for a long time that he was beyond shady.

    Trump keeps on winning... because his opponents keep beating themselves.

    Dude is totally fucked. Even if he miraculously avoids prison time he's absolutely gonna lose his law license because of his client trust account shenanigans. What a fucking idiot.
