THE CHARGES AGAINST AVENATTI
CALIFORNIA


10 counts of wire fraud

Avenatti allegedly committed wire fraud by lying to five clients about their settlements from cases he represented them in.

The total sum of the money he allegedly misappropriated is $12million.

He is accused of not only hiding their payments from them but spending the money himself on private planes, repaying the IRS and funding his own businesses between 2015 and 2017.

19 counts of tax fraud

Avenatti has not filed personal income tax returns since 2010, it is claimed.

Between 2015 and 2017, his coffee company Global Baristas US, did not pay $3.2million in federal payroll taxes.

More than $2million of that figure was withheld from staff pay checks and spent by Avenatti himself, it is alleged.

2 counts of bank fraud

The two bank fraud charges relate to the original indictment and claims he submitted bogus financial information to obtain three loans totaling $4.1 million from The People's Bank in Mississippi.

The bogus information included a tax return that had never been sent to the IRS and him overstating his law firm's resources when it was on the brink of bankruptcy.

One said his firm, Eagan Avenatti, had more than $500,000 in an operating account when it only had $43,000, it is claimed.

4 counts bankruptcy fraud

Three of the bankruptcy fraud charges allege that Avenatti submitted, under penalty of perjury, monthly operating reports that failed to report all of the firm's accounts receivable in 2017.

Avenatti is charged with falsely testifying under oath during a June 2017 bankruptcy hearing by denying the firm had received any fees related to a lawsuit when Eagan Avenatti had actually received more than $1.3 million

New York case 1

Conspiracy to commit extortion


Avenatti allegedly attempted to extort Nike by saying he had information which incriminated it in a pay-for-play college basketball scandal this year.

He allegedly told the company that he would conduct an internal investigation for a $25million fee instead of exposing it.

Nike reported him.

New York case 2

Charged with misappropriating funds belonging to the ex adult film star Stormy Daniels to the tune of nearly $300,000.

But muh Trump! Russia! Possible Collusion!

Tee Hee! Avenatti, the EveryReady Bunny Sociopath, he never stops. This is true of some sociopaths who are a bit frontal lobe impaired. They lie to so many people and generate so many incidents, they create a Gordian knot of cascading WTF's that can be impossible to untangle in any meaningful way. I guess he's in the right profession.

This was Trump's fault, too? IMPEACH TRUMP!

He’s going to prison now. He tried to send Trump there, and is going to wind up doing quite a bit of hard time. Maybe the next Dem POTUS will pardon him for “services rendered?”
Might be a while on that tho. Trump’s got another five and a half years, and then we might get lucky again. Leftists are on the wane lately, and another Trump Republican might be just the ticket.

I can answer you; I lived in Mexico before coming to California; they think the USA is crazy but they love it.

In Mexico they say "If you don't work, you don't eat." They've heard of food stamps and etc and can't believe it even exists.

Many believe that Mexico's poverty is caused by the USA somehow; politicians of the ruling PRI party repeated this crap for 71 years of their rule.

Mexican single mothers illegally in the USA feel the same way American single mothers do; "society owes me help to support my child."

abuse of working people.

This is funny from one who fights Trumps efforts to curb unfettered illegal immigration and fights Trumps efforts to tariff a low wage high polluting China. Both unfettered illegal immigration and outsourcing to slave wage China hurt American working people.

You can't buy bread this dense.

Carnegie was a RINO and the first Corporate Activist.

Carnegie gave "formal allegiance" to the Republican Party, though he was said to be "a violent opponent of some of the most sacred doctrines" of the party.[79]

Avenatti will get the 'Democratic Presidential Medal For Inciting And Maintaining Fake News Contributory To THE CAUSE' when the next Dem. Pres gets elected.

Brains.... must have brains.....

Carnegie Steel sought to lower wages to be more profitable.

Thx, did not know of this one.
Nice that workers on strike had guns and were able to at least drive off Pinkertons. Would have been much worse without Second Amendment.

Trump should just pull all troops and equipment out of Europe. We can be part of NATO from within our borders.

The US is NATO

Thanks to Trump, and since Standing Rock, America’s steel making cannot compete with prices of a certain Russian oligarch friend of Trump.

Russian Oligarch? Not one Russian firm is in the Top 10 Steel Producers. There's exactly one Russian Steel Producer in the top 20, with about less than half (or much less than half) of the top 10 companies.

Most of the world's biggest companies are Indian, Chinese SEOs, Japanese, or Korean. Technically #1 is in Luxemborg but it's a merger of European and Indian steel mills. Hence the Europeans wanting us to be the sucker bagholder who soaks up Chinese SEO Steel overproduction during the tariff a while back.

What if walls are found to be the least effective but yet they require the most budget?

Is that why the Democrats are promoting E-Verify?

I hear California won't let illegals work unless they prove residency. hahahahaha

Fake news.
Even if true, full blown dementia hasn't stopped Pelosi.

I must also have "pre-dementia"; my brain has begun to reject remembering useless nonsense and bullshit. Some examples would be stuff Joe Scarborough might say, random things some people say to me, etc.

What matters is others remember what Donald Trump instructs them to do, and carry the instructions out.

Did the teachers turn down offers for sex with the students?

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

Protective services personnel have intimated that they've been forced to direct the president physically in ceremonial events like no other president, indicative of nothing so much as confusion.

Somehow that becomes news only with t-RUMP and not with younger former presidents:

“Global Gourmet” class

There's that diversity.

Beating off with a crepe without shredding it is an important culinary skill.

In CA teachers union raising taxes on us so they can retire at 55 with full pension.

Some people are more equal than others.

Any questioning of the globalist agenda to divide the public with identity politics and drive down wages is called mental illness by globalist media.

Very much like the Soviets used to do with people who questioned communism.

True or False: Maduro didn't like the election results so created a new legislature given more powers than the Old National Assembly.

That's literally a tyrannical act with long historical precedence.

Fort Russ, hahahhahahha.

Not South Front? How about Vineyard of the Saker?

The world's new leading producer of oil seldom needs to import in quantities it previously did...

Fort Russ appears to be the Storm Front analogue.

For example, they publish crap like this: DUGIN: Free Africa or Death! Kemi Seba: African goal of a multipolar world.
https://www.fort-russ.com/2019/05/dugin-free-africa-or-death-kemi-seba-african-goal-of-a-multipolar-world/

Dugin is the ideological follower and heir of so-called chernosotency, who are rabid, fanatical Russian nationalists/monarchists, and who organized Jewish pogroms in early 20th century.

Interesting that so-called progressives have no qualms about quoting Russian Stormfront analogues if it benefits ORANGE MAN BAD ideology.

WARNING! Reading that website may cause desire to goosestep and screech HEIL PUTLER! This is propaganda on level of Third Reich.


And this one takes the prize for top idiocy:
US war planes cannot compete with POWERFUL Russian jets

Saker, Fort Russ, and the other Russian one, not RT, can't remember - used to keep a lid on the Yid bashing, until around 2016. Then it became so White Army Black Baron rah rah. So crazy that all the nationalist Serbs started dropping their connections with them. Also the Uniate and Protestant missionary bashing as well.

That Russia is seeking a strong alliance with Shi'ism is pretty obvious now.

The Anti-Semitic shit is really brewing on the Hard Left too, from Corbynistas to Black Lives Matter.

Spin of the article is typical Russian State-sponsored nonsense. AMERICA FAILS! ALL HAIL GREAT PUTLER!
Interesting that Russian interference and propaganda is good here, but in other cases it must be subject to congressional investigations. Anything anti-tRUMP must be unconditionally accepted, even if it comes from Nazis...sorry I forgot that deplorable Nazis are only tRUMP and his supporters.

Emotional shit is that anything is good if it is against tRUMP...or that oligarchy and powers to be somehow are for tRUMP even though oligarchs/PTB funded Hillary to the extent that tRUMP was not funded.

I would also be rather careful in selecting sources. The article in question is a re-write of oilprice.com piece, which is ideologically neutral and just states the facts. But we need emotions, do we...so we choose an outlet which delivers cheap Russian anti-Semitic propaganda.

Didn't Salon just get sold in a firesale?

Tell me where in the Constitution that regulating Medical procedures are a "Penumbra of Privacy" considering the Feds have thousands of pages regulating what procedures can be agreed upon between a patient and their doctor?

How come for 170 years no Court found Public School Bible Readings unconstitutional?
