He was also ordered to give up his passport and cease contact with an unnamed witness. Avenatti will only be allowed to travel to New York and California.Attorney Mark Geragos is the unnamed co-conspirator in the Avenatti criminal complaintAttorney Mark Geragos is the unnamed co-conspirator referred to in the Southern District of New York's criminal complaint against Michael Avenatti, a source familiar confirms to CNN.
A Nike lawyer, who cooperated with the investigation and is referred to as"Attorney-1" in in the charges, is Boies Schiller Flexner LLP partner Scott Wilson, according to a person familiar with the matter.Nike released a statement today after prosecutors in New York announced charges against attorney Michael Avenatti for attempting to extort more than $20 million from the company."Nike will not be extorted or hide information that is relevant to a government investigation.
Avenatti met with Nike again the next day, and he continued to make what Berman described as"graphic threats." According to the timeline, Avenatti made the initial threats to Nike on March 19. Shortly afterward, Nike informed federal prosecutors in New York of the threats. If convicted on both charges of wire fraud and bank fraud in California, attorney Michael Avenatti will face a statutory maximum sentence of 50 years in federal prison, said US attorney Nick Hanna at a press conference Monday afternoon.US Attorney Nick Hanna said that while the California case against attorney Michael Avenatti is"completely separate" from the New York case, officials coordinated his arrest today.
Michael get your life together. You came on the scene as a strong, intelligent, savvy atty representing Stormy and standing up the most lying and corruptible Pres. this country has ever had. Almost like David vs Goliath, Now you just look stupid.
Maybe you all should not have had him on CNN 180 times?
CNN's Fake Superstar as Fake as them all! BWhahaha!
Ask will democrats destroy USA just to get power
The 3 SHAKEDOWN amigos (AVENATTI, COHEN, TRUMP)! WOW!.. Birds of a feather; with 2 going to jail, & the other destroying our Constitution. The voters were obviously DRUNK election night 2016.
WOW. Did anyone watch CNN last night? Anyone Hello? Nope, they all went over to FOX. Didn't this network worship this guy in the past?
Come on CNN, give us an interview. He needs the money.
No doubt 100% guilty in New York and California.
🎪CNN poster boy🎪
The first on MANY to go down. Enjoy the show. CNN superstar off to prison.
The Lefts Darling Lawyer and at one time 2020 Presidential candidate is in MORE legal trouble? Hmm...

I bet this one hurt to tweet out!!! He was your poster boy!!!
Is CNN paying the bond? America needs to know
Does this mean he is not running in 2020? Just asking for a friend..:)
No problem, the Democratic Party is full of lying sacks of shit that CNN can use to replace him.
Dont forget Geragos who was Employed. Makes you wonder- your accused of fake news and now tied to 2 ppl who tried to shake down Nike. Yes firing Geragos was the right to do but what this broader picture say about 'known by the company you keep'?
Now it’s time to go after TRUMP
Was it at 5 in the morning with guns and swat team, was CNN there to film?
FAKE NEWS CNN 's favored presidential candidate Avenatti has now been accused of many crimes that could end up with a 100 year sentence. How will fake news spend this
FAKE NEWS CNN. ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.
enough said LMAO!
But is he still running for president?
How’d Trump get them to put the target🎯 on his back?
😂
CNN is so proud of their favorite guest. Fake News meet Fake Porn Lawyer.

Your boy MichaelAvenatti is going down and our man realDonaldTrump is going up! SucksToBeYou
Isn't he yall's darling? 74 times in a two month period you guys had him on air bashing TRUMP.. you have no pride or Shame! Enquirer of tv news!
Ain’t this your boy CNN ? Didn’t you guys push this guy for president?
Does this mean the presidential run is off? And I have all of this popcorn.
ENOUGH SAID!
Whose money will MichaelAvenatti use to post bail
Gotta have ya skeletons intact if you wanna bring war on the teflon Don
This clown wanted to be President
Think he might have irritated people in high places?
65 times you had this shmuck on your channel.
How disappointing.. Thought he was one of the good guys..
That's your Boy...
And the USA turns ever closer to being like a tinpot dictatorship as people who criticised or crossed Trump are now picked off and arrested. Will trump start a camp next to hold them all in. What the hell is US doing to itself
CNN in mourning as it's champion MICHAEL AVENATTI indicted. So they turn now to CARL BERNSTEIN, who rode to fame on the coattails of Woodward, an aged, senile, addled Bernstein, believing he once was and is still relevant, espousing diarrhea, and CNN at the ready to lick it up
He would fit in great with CNN
CNN - Sorry about you love children going to jail...
Nothing on markgeragos ?
I am guessing he won't be on your fake news channel constantly anymore..?
He is also under investigation for trying to extort Nike. The police have taped proof. So get your popcorn.

2 of Fake News CNN's LEGAL Analyst were Indicted on criminal charges this week!!!😂😂😂😂 And all of CNN looks like they're about to cry because President Trump has been proven innocent. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 There should be no question why CNN is considered Fake News!!
Does this mean CNN will cut him off payroll, he’s been working with them through the whole trial for Trump
That shits wild.I can kinda understand why you guys & other national news outlets don’t cover any news outside of the beltway though seeing as that’s real jail time he’s facing & he has sat at many of your newsdesks.
Not even the Russian will save him
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The darling of CNN 😂
Sure going to miss his insightful rants on CNN Fake news
😲
Wow... I wonder how much of this is true versus how far Don the con will go.
Hold on now a minute, are you telling me the lawyer of a porn star who hogged as much camera time he could get his hands on isn’t reliable ? Funniest part of this is Trump still paid her $130k hahaha !!!!
He’s all yours !!! Been on your news hundreds of times
He was a porn stars lawyer... for her actions as a prostitute. And you CNN once took him for a hero for battling Trump
Chris Cuomo and Jake Tapper’s best friend
I tweeted that douchebag five months ago telling him what a POS he was...I love Karma
Surprised cnn is even reporting on their boy 👦 oops, eat your heart out
BREAKING NEWS! ANOTHER BOMBSHELL! The BEGINING of the END! The WALL is CLOSING in on HIM. FAKE NEWS!!! DEEP STATE! !! FAKE NEWS! DEEP STATE!!! Are you awake AMERICA? Don't you LOVE Karma? WWG1WGA
CNN-forgets they had Avenati on as an Anti-Trump Pundit-Munchkin Zucks -Bowling Ball Head Love child Brian Shelter,Quickly began singing that famous Munchkin song from OZ-We are the Lollipop 3''''''''
LOL he is making CNN look bad
Didn’t you have him on CNN over 100 times in a ten week period to spread lies and defame the President? You are as reliable a news source as he is a lawyer. FakeNews
Bahahahahaha
He's your man 😏
Avenatti headed for the joint.
I'm sure you can always find another creepy porn lawyer to represent your network.
Will he have to give up his cnn badge as well?
I wonder if CNN had a reporter on his front lawn as well.
I wonder if he'll be out in time to run for President?
How funny would it be if Michael Avenatti and R jelly end up in the same jail. 😂😂😂
pondscum
Hahahahahahahahaha love it
Guess y'all are having a really bad week. Two legal analysts likely headed to jail; your CIA intelligence 'expert' manifestly shown to have been lying out his a$$ for the past three years re collusion and already trying to backpedal. Hope he gets the ripping he deserves.
Can he still run for president?
300k That’s it?
What about Mark Geragos?
They're all going to have a ball in prison together lmao
Why does he always look like he’s saying “NEEEEHHHHHHH!”
RIP CNN
CNN's Prince! Go to Guy! LMAO at the joke of a news network!!!!
This was CNN and MSNBC's Golden Child. They trusted this crooks opinion. CNN AND MSNBC are a biggest joke in news. No integrity, just misinformation and lies!!!
You providing bail?
You loved him didn’t ya?😂😂
You love this guy. And is your kind of guy
CNN’s number one analyst and their choice for President just got taken down along with others regulars they have as guests. Guess this says it all about CNN
Pity you didn't ask him some of the 'hard questions' cnn is soooo famous for. LOL
donlemon
No Dubai for you or RKelly.
Instead of taking his passport just make it only acceptable in Venezuela
Any reason why this is in your politics section?
Another one of Trumps boys, headed down the hole. He can play golf with Cohen, and they can have breakfast and beers together.
His Stormy threat is another extortion. Get over it🙄
He should run for Prez just as criminal Trump did.
Hey did you guys put up the bail money...
May as well be $300 bond. He broke
Last laugh goes to the Deplorables! Fake news CNN laughing stock. Rough few days uh CNN
busted
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MichaelAvenatti
Drop the FactsFirst bullshit because we all know it's bullshit.
Nike put a swoosh on his ass
MichaelAvenatti you still running in 2020?
🤪
When will he be on CNN again as a legal representative?
cnn that had to hurt to report actual reality
Guess Geragos will now have to handle the legal analysis at CNN.....hold on, never mind..
I wonder if these guys names will become slang...'hey man,don't avenatti that guys money' or 'hey don't cohen the truth man',or even,' better not manafort the gov dude'. Just wondering. Any ideas?
Just more proof that you sucks cnn. Oh yeah,Fake News
Remember when Michael was the future of La Resistance? Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaoh how he has fallen!!!
But CNN loved Avenatti! You lopped up every lie he told! He was on your network regularly! You are indeed the Enemy of the People!
We just keep winning. .. oh my. 😱
Did cnn post bond? After all, he’s one of their more honorable FakeNews contributors.
Mueller report has also confirmed that ... CNN is FAKE NEWS!!!
So everyone else is innocent until proven guilty but not this guy?
Doesn’t he work for CNN🤔
If we had a wall he couldn’t get out
CNN classic right there. Served up on a silver platter.
Does humpty dumpty Stelter still consider him quality presidential material? Asking for a friend...
Shocking
Lol
HAHAHAHAHAHA CNN! So much for the horse you backed. Well?
Ah va naughty.
The GOP will now nominate him for SCOTUS or POTUS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t come back to Louisiana with yo drama! Ya done screwed up 10 other states
Whe is your apology to Trump? You want to find traitors?... Look at yourself!
Ha ha ha
Please have Mark Geragos on one of your panel discussions about this case. I would be really interested in hearing his insights.
I would love to see this clown end up in prison. Ole Mikey is finally getting the attention he craves!
Does he have a 'Go Fund Me' acct. yet? I just hope he's not scheduled for appearances in Dubai.
Creepy porn lawyer.
Mikey's gonna share a cell with Manafort.
see PhilipLayfield I swear there is something wrong with many LA Lawyers
Maybe he and Trump will end up in the same place. SDNY is really working.
Why? Why did he have to be a criminal?
I have not heard if he will continue to be one of CNN's contributors. He has been on your network for the past couple of years. I hold him in as high regard as I do donlemon , andersoncooper. Good couple of days for your network.
He reminds me of trump with all his self aggrandizing, hyperbole and ego, So now if we could only see Trump charged too 🙄
He has to give up both his American passport and his Italian passport. **He can only travel to NY and California. **He's due back in NY court in April. He's due in California court for separate charges on April 1st
And I'm pretty sure he was trying to extort R.kelly.
Oh how quickly you will forget you gave him a platform on your network over 60 times to spread his lies. Never asking him to provide evidence. Never asking any hard questions. Providing cover for his sleazy actions, all because he hated the president as much as your anchors do.
CNN --Committed T R E A S O N.
BAHAHAHAHAHAH
Congrats CNN.
Submarine_Guy He is finally ready to run in gop primary
Fabulous
Yep. Your highly regarded legal analyst. Good job cnn
Are you gonna have him call in from jail to bash Trump?
CNN analysts - do not pass go.
Clinton News Network fails again.. you guys have made me laugh a lot today. Thanks! And shame on you all!
They worked for CNN how pathetic NEW: We report that alleged co-conspirator with michaelavenatti in federally charged extortion scheme is celebrity attorney Mark Geragos markgeragos Avenatti
CNN needs to be held accountable! fakenews
Sad your bestie was caught and will serve prison time! 🤣🤣🤣
THE Creepy Porn Lawyer was CNN'S top employee, on the air daily.
What a blow to the Democratic Party! So superior to declared candidates!
Did CNN bail him out?
What your boy Michael Avenatti is going to jail for extortion. Did CNN send the bail money to get him released? Just asking!!!
Hes your best friend. How many times did you have this criminal on to accuse Trump of shit? Man what a bas few days for you clowns. I love it
Stormy regrets hiring your poster boy
Another Liberal Hero goes down in flames
What will you do now CNN? I believe markgeragos is one of your contributors too....nice
How many times this guy was on your network !!! I assume he was a body to your ratings !
Bolide explosion of 170 Kiloton over Bering sa
MichaelAvenatti Should not be able to practice Law! Until all this has cleared.
Whaaaaat? FAKE NEWS CNN's very own creepy porn lawyer charged with federal crimes.. and the democrats had such high hopes for him.. guess running for president is out the window
All the while Avenatti was under investigation making wild claims about Judge Kavanaugh and Trump, you gave him a platform on CNN. You knew he was a con artist and a sleaze, but he was trashing Trump & that's all you cared about. And you wonder why people chant 'CNN Sucks'?
Wasn’t he a prized highly touted “guest” on many many CNN segments CNN’s reputation keeps sinking every day....so sad....
The GOLD STANDARD of REAL FAKE NEWS !
FYI, this is tied to the kid who blew out his Nike shoe on the court and hurt his knee.
Your legal analyst! Hahaha!
He's your boy CNN. Your news and the way you guys operate is disgusting
Make sure the authorities get trump’s passport by January 20, 2021 so he can’t flee the country once he steps out of the white house
Ever since he hooked up with that porn, bad luck just follows! Karma !
And you people had him on almost weekly. Vindication. APOLOGIZE to realDonaldTrump you owe him. FakeNews
He probably can’t afford the bond😭😭😭
I think you should have him back on........like 75 times over say...... the next 2 months !! He’s so CREDITABLE !!!
3 years of lies to the American people! Millions made from their sponsors, people’s lives ruined, time for the American people to boycott their sponsors!
Fake news “Messiah”
Knew It!!
Another CNN wonder child
He's your favorite pundit. Lol
Can we release LauraLoomer from twitter jail now? 🏳️🕊️
Trump getting even thru justice department !
Wow now they turn on one of the liars they had on over 150 times to further their narrative against trump!
He is (was) CNN’s legal concil
Boycott cnn and its sponsors for the lies, scam and betrayal to the American people!
Like him, no one should ever believe anything CNN says.
Did Stormy Daniels pay his bond? Or CNN?
Your peeps are looking really bad CNN. Kinda like your whole network.
Going to play Golf its nice in Kansas!!
Find it hard to believe two high profile lawyers could really be this stupid. Entirely possible, but I feel like there is some ulterior motive behind all this.
Haha! This guy was basically an CNN employee for the better part of a year.
So much winning!
Waiting to hear from Mr. Avenatti...
hahahaha too bad
🤣🤣🤣🥂🥂 I love the taste of this pill 💊
Hang him.
That's your great white hope right there. Your top legal analyst.
This is wonderful
From Avenatti 2020 to Avenatti 20 to 25
You gonna have him on to explain Mueller report to us?
It’s a good thing you don’t need a passport to go to prison.🤨
CNN pay for his release?
Isn’t karma wonderful?
Funniest shit I heard since Election night 2016 .
What! A CNN operative. Wasn’t he on CNN like 78 times! I wonder did you fire him yet?
He must have snapped after his 25th appearance on CNN.
Eventually traitor Trump will be joining him. trumptrainwreck
I just wanna know the dirt on nike lol
I am conflicted here I think that the department of Justice which is run by 'William Barr' is behind this, Michaelavenatti it's too intelligent and has being around the block many times, to to do what they are claiming he did , especially this late in the game .
Are you having him on your show like you did 70 something times to he spread LIES about the President....cnn has NO CREDIBILITY TURN OFF THE LIGHTS
Sad. See this..
I bet CNN is gonna pay his bond, they love this guy
CNN, MSNBC star in jail? Thankfully they have Geragos to fill in
Only a few more crimes away from the Presidency!
WTF?
Are we really that surprised by this though...I mean we all knew something was shady with him when he worked with Stormy Daniels and we knew something was up when they stopped working together. Wouldnt be surprised if he tried to sleep with her to try to extort $$ from her
Just make it snappy he has big news to announce tomorrow.
Announce closing of CNN. You've had a terrible couple of days! 🤣
The sweetheart is a crook? Who would have thunk? Bahahahahah CNN had him on over 100 times and thought he was a god! Just like MSNBC and the rest of FakeNewsMedia he’s a liar and a crook! You have no credibility realDonaldTrump
What time do we need to tune in to CNN for your panel discussion with him on Trump collusion
That mean hes not running for President anymore ? Trump dodged one there for sure. No Mikey/Stormy 2020 combo ? First ..Russiafake blows up and this ? Bad week. 😂😂😂
Hey where is your go “screw me page”?
🙄
GOD I LOVE PRESIDENT realDonaldTrump
Tomorrow will be another day
Think he’ll take his case to the Supreme Court? 🤣🤣
RIP CNN. Who will headline your Primetime lineup now?
basta
WHEN WILL HE BE ON CNN? 😂😂😂
Oh my, the same St Michael that CNN was advocating for the democratic nomination for president...Sweet!

Meanwhile you guys have Brian Stelter pumping up his tyres as a 2020 presidential candidate.
He has partnership with CNN and MSNBC
He was your poster child CNN!! Just like your news!! Down in flames!!
Glad Imsaw through this Dude a long time ago.
Does this mean he won't be your 'Legal Affairs' expert? You must be so disappointed...
Who cares
This guy personifies CNN
Well, no one is saying if it’s true now, a possible scandal involving Nike....
Will he have to give up his CNN 'expert' interviews?
He was YOUR GUY
CNN's such a fail....
you played with fire and got burned big boy. Don't play with Mafia Dons. Cheer up, his day is coming
Propaganda machine. Turn them off!
Way to go giving him a platform, lol.
And no WITCH HUNT. witch witchhunt trump
Must be a bear when one of your staff gets arrested
I think Michael has lost his mind. He is a very smart guy. I think he has had a breakdown.
Knew he was a sleezball
Y’all lost your favorite contributor
Incredible ! Obstruction of justice !. Transparency !
I wonder who he extorted for the $300k.

I’m shocked CNN is reporting this.
I guess he couldn’t weather the storm
When will he be back on CNN ?
🤦🏽♀️
This is crazy..men power n money..not a good combo
Meanwhile President Avenatti is STILL President.
Oh well, he will get his day in court and his innocence or guilt will be determined. While I personally dislike MichaelAvenatti , I will of course treat him as innocent until proven guilty.
Surprised he could cover that. Maybe ask who he stole that from.
🤣🤣🤣better take him off the payroll.
High five 69 for me.
I thought CNN Loved Michael Avenatti? What happened? You brought him on all the time to put his BS on air against Trump. CNN has become the worst information channel on air. Too many lies and liars on your shows.
The man doth protest too much, me thinks.
I wonder how many tens of millions he has hidden in offshore accounts and under his mattress
When is he announcing his 2020 bid?
What goes around comes around!! And CNN put this guy on 100 plus times!! CNN Fake News continues from CNN !
Yes, I’m still in shock.
How soon til you have him back on as a contributor
too bad - just when he was in the ex wife's good books this has to happen
