He cannot travel anywhere else in the country without approval and may not transfer $5,000 or more from any account he controls without pretrial services. “I’m not f---ing around with this, and I’m not continuing to play games,” Avenatti told Nike reps, according to court papers. “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. A few million dollars doesn’t move the needle for me.”

Avenatti shot to prominence last year as the hard-charging attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, who claimed she was paid hush money to stay silent about an affair with Donald Trump in 2006.that she was"saddened but not shocked" by Avenatti's arrest. In a separate case out of California, Avenatti was charged with negotiating a settlement for a client and then using the funds to pay expenses for his company, Global Barista US LLC, which operated Tully’s Coffee stores in California and Washington state, court papers say.

Avenatti 2020 just became Avenatti 20 to 25

But you liberal MSM hacks idolized this guy. You have him hundreds of primetime interviews because he said bad things about the president and Justice Kavanaugh. You liberal agenda pushing hacks don’t care.

Damn, he would have fun to watch against Trump.

Two-bit hustler thinks he can take on Nike. Too funny.

Hopefully is locked up with Cohen and they receive all kinds of prison love.

Avenatti, once a Media/Democrat darling - why?

I wonder if they went to his house with a SWAT team of a dozen trucks cuff him and carry his ass to jail and notified CNN just prior to them getting there so that he would be on national TV when they did it

I knew we could trust him

That guy is crazy

He was your presidential candidate wasn't he? 🤔🤔🤔

Blahahahahahahahahhahaha! Creepy Porn Lawyer! How many times has had him on your fake news cycles?

The darling of the left.....

Shocking?

MSN golden boy

The liberal super hero who was going to take down Trump.. lmao

What did he think he had on nikestore ?

MichaelAvenatti waving from prison to AdamSandler to bad extortion, wire fraud, and bank fraud are felonies and fellons can't hold office so cross off White House, postal carrier, or attorney cause felony means disbarment. Hope you like prison food and penis 😂

When I started naming names in pedophilia—specifically, a powerful person in government at a powerful media giant—some evil shrink wrote that I had a heroin addiction when I've never even used the drug.

Which client did he embezzle from?

It amazes me how many people couldn't see this guy for the greasy slimeball that he is.

Hey Mikey make sure you grow some hair before you get here. I like to have something to hold on too. See you soon!!!

I’m assuming you will still have him on for his expertise

What a dope

Getting what he deserves for being such a slimeball lawyer.

What a total loser and CNN thought he was a God. CreepyPornLawyer

Question. Is this the same tactic used to get kapernick 25million?

He’s a scumbag, just like President Trump pointed out.

Compliments of 🍄. Everyone knows.

CNN sure does associate with great reputable people

MichaelAvenatti wow, couldn’t see this train wreck coming! lol sleeZeBag

A leftist hero turns out to be a criminal. Just another day

This news saddens me.

It’s quite ironic that he’s going to jail for virtually the same crimes that Trump isn’t charged with. What’s Trump’s secret? 🤔
