Michael Avenatti, the LA-based lawyer who was largely unknown on the national stage until he sued President Trump and his former Attorney Michael Cohen on behalf of his client, former porn star Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an affair with Trump back in 2006, has been relentlessly pressing his case in the media about why he should be the Democratic candidate to challenge President Trump in 2020. All the while, Avenatti has been dogged by a legal dispute with a former attorney at his collapsed law firm, Eagan Avenatti, over what the former employee, California lawyer Jason Frank, claims are millions of dollars in unpaid wages owed to him by Avenatti.

But on Monday, a judge ruled against Avenatti, ordering him to pay $4.85 million to Frank, per Bloomberg. The judgment begs the question: What happened to all of Avenatti's money? His firm once booked tens of millions of dollars a year in revenue and Avenatti, as a named partner, was one of the first to the trough. Well, in a wide-ranging expose, the Daily Beast published the most intensive report to date about Avenatti's finances, his lavish lifestyle and the fallout from his contentious divorce. All of which suggests that the LA lawyer lived the high life while owing millions in taxes to the IRS, before he took on Daniels as a client, was desperately looking for his next venture.
