Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti has been arrested on charges related to an alleged $20 million extortion of the athletic apparel company Nike, federal authorities in New York City said Monday.
Avenatti also is charged in a separate federal case out of Los Angeles, where he is accused of embezzling a client's money "in order to pay his own expense and debts," and of "defrauding a bank in Mississippi," prosecutors said.
The charges were revealed less than an hour after Avenatti announced a press conference to discuss purported claims against Nike. An FBI agent said in the complaint in New York that the lawyer had threatened to hold a press conference on the eve of Nike's quarterly earnings call to announced "allegations of misconduct by employees of Nike."

Creepy porn lawyer arrested? Say it ain't so !!! 888high58888

Well now. This is delicious.

Avenatti must be thinking to himself, â€Remember when they loved you on CNN and people wanted you to run against Trump. You could’ve been a contender.â€
-
Never threaten to expose criminal conduct if you don’t get paid; that’s extortion 101. This guy is a real prize pupil.

Likely he though that his brand name and the goodwill he has generated with the public as a Leftist anti-Trump hero, would keep Nike from going public.
This reads like a classic "Do you know who I am!?" moment.

Yeah, I was surprised he did that too. A clear-cut case of extortion, complete with the quid pro quo. Do this or I'll do that.
