On Tuesday, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge brought the hammer down on Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, with a $10 million order to pay a former colleague.
This isn’t the first time the man Democrats have rallied behind to take down Trump has made the headlines for legal trouble.
According to The Daily Caller:
The initial dispute stemmed after Jason Frank, who used to work at the Eagan Avenatti law firm, was personally promised by Avenatti to settle the $2 million by May 14. That money was never paid, the court found.
Frank had repeatedly requested payment from Avenatti but never received a response, according to an affidavit filed in court and which The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained.
“Michael Avenatti, in his individual capacity, agreed to personally guarantee the Settlement Payments in the event of default and entered into a Guaranty Agreement to that effect,” the document reads.
Other information was disclosed at the hearing about the financial struggles of Avenatti’s law firm. The Department of Justice alleged that Eagan Avenatti LLC had defaulted on back taxes and that the government is proceeding with efforts to demand that money.
Avenatti has gone through a number of byzantine agreements in the last year pursuant to the bankruptcy of his law firm, of which he is the lead equity partner.
Avenatti clearly isn’t the employee favorite as he took $1.3 million from employees to pay payroll taxes, though the government never received the funds.
In addition, the legal troubled lawyer failed to pay $126,000 to a victim of sex discrimination case within his companies. Despite a court order, he’s yet to send the victim a dime.
Avenatti also has been under fire with accusations ranging from fraud, to pump and dump schemes, to defrauding the government.
Michael Avenatti should probably take care of his personal legal issues before trying to help the Deep State fabricate a Trump Russia witch hunt.
Just a helpful thought.
