According to the criminal complaint, Mr Avenatti threatened to release damaging information about the company if Nike didn't make millions in payment to himself and a co-conspirator. 9News

"You guys know enough now to know you've got a serious problem and it's worth more in exposure to me to just blow the lid on this thing."

"I made the decision more than a month ago to terminate Michael's services after discovering that he had dealt with me extremely dishonestly and there will be more announcements to come," she said.Earlier, he tweeted he would be holding a press conference to disclose "a major high school/college basketball scandal perpetrated by Nike".

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles also announced separate charges of wire fraud and bank fraud against Mr Avenatti.

Canberra's attempt to legalise cannabis could actually put more people behind barsMore than 400 people over the past five years could have ended up in jail for cannabis use if laws to legalise the drug were in place in the ACT, police say. They just want people behind bars so they’ll drink more grog and get drunk as well as stoned. More sales tax from grog AND legalized dope. Better if supplied by Govt authorised producers not individuals. Then you would get quality control & tax revenue like in US & Canada.
