Federal authorities moved Los Angeles attorney Michael Avenatti to New York on Friday ahead of a trial later this month on charges that he tried to extort more than $20 million from sports giant Nike, his attorney said.

U.S. marshals transported Avenatti by private jet, and he’s at Metropolitan Correction Center awaiting classification, attorney H. Dean Steward said Saturday.while awaiting trial on three indictments, saying new allegations of fraud and money laundering show he poses a danger to the public.

Avenatti was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon at a California State Bar Court hearing. The state bar is seeking to block him from practicing law while he faces bank fraud, tax evasion and other charges in the three federal indictments. Prosecutors have accused him of stealing millions from his own clients.Avenatti, who gained fame as the lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels, who alleged she had a one-night stand with Donald Trump in 2006, has denied wrongdoing.

Remember when Michael Avenatti dropped a tweet mentioning Iran & Hillary Clinton's emails 🤔 Now he's at the same correctional facility where Jeffrey Epstein was at in New York!

You mean the guy who was the Democrats one big hope of actually beating Trump in the next election?

I’m disappointed they flew him to NY on a private jet. Why not a center coach seat on Frontier handcuffed to two guards.

But Latimes; your millennial writers said Avenatti would be our next president... 🤣. Trump2020LandslideVictory realDonaldTrump

If Avenatti commits suicide too in the Manhattan jail, I'm going to get suspicious ?

What goes around...

Interesting they DO put People in Suits who commit crimes in prison but just not Banksters who use bogus trusts with negative attestations to steal homes🙈
