Michael Avenatti

Disgraced attorney, Michael Avenatti, was thrown in jail after being convicted in February of attempting to extort $25,000,000 from multi-billion dollar company Nike. Avenatti was housed at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center. However, due to the coronavirus outbreak, Avenatti has been temporarily released for 90-days. Avenatti posted $1,000,000 bond and will be on house arrest at at friend’s home in Los Angeles.

Avenatti went from a beachfront mansion and luxury penthouse suite in California, to a dinky jail cell at a facility, which he complained about in March, as being freezing, moldy and with rodents present. Spending 90-days outside jail will be a welcome reprieve. However, reentering jail will not be pleasant. Avenatti is also facing criminal charges regarding allegations he stole millions of dollars from clients. This is in addition to allegations of criminal tax fraud being pursued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
