Law firm of Stormy Daniels attorney hit with $10 million judgment


Brief quote:

"The law firm of Stormy Daniels' attorney Michael Avenatti was hit with a $10 million judgment Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court after he broke his promise to pay $2 million to a former colleague.
Judge Catherine Bauer of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Santa Ana ordered Eagan Avenatti to pay the $10 million to Jason Frank, a lawyer who used to work at the Newport Beach firm.
"At this point, that's what's appropriate," Bauer said at a brief hearing.
To settle his law firm's bankruptcy, Avenatti had personally guaranteed that the $2 million would be paid to Frank last week, but both he and his firm failed to turn over the money.

At the hearing, the U.S. Justice Department revealed that Avenatti's firm has also defaulted on back taxes that it promised to pay the Internal Revenue Service under another bankruptcy settlement.
Assistant U.S. attorney Najah Shariff told the judge that the federal government would soon file a motion demanding payment of the back taxes."
Nearly $1.3 million of that was for payroll taxes that his law firm withheld from employees, but did not turn over to the government.


Avenatti has paid at least $1.5 million of what was due, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles. But he and his firm missed an installment that was due last week, Shariff told the court.

Avenatti, who has blamed the unpaid taxes on an unnamed payroll company, accused The Times of "purposely confusing me with a separate legal entity that has no role in the Daniels case."

"Irrelevant," he wrote in an email responding to questions about the $10 million judgment against Eagan Avenatti and the missed tax payment. "Over blown. Sensational reporting at its finest. No judgment against me was issued nor do I owe any taxes."

Avenatti is the lead equity partner in Eagan Avenatti, court records show. He has repeatedly sent emails to The Times about the Daniels case from an Eagan Avenatti email address, with Eagan Avenatti below the signature line.

Frank attended the hearing, but declined to comment.

Mark S. Horoupian, an attorney for Avenatti's firm, told the judge that the firm was not disputing Frank's right to a $10 million judgment under the terms of the bankruptcy settlement. After the hearing, Horoupian declined to comment.

Ge’ll just have to quit the form to represent Stormy like how Rudy “quit” his to represent the dotard.

I try not to kick a man when he's down, but one has to wonder if this is why he was on tv 24 hours, 7 days a week. Those appearance fees add up I suppose.

The similarities between the two are striking.

I never gave Stormy much credit for her level of intelligence but even she knows this clown will be a drag on her case....she will be seeking new representation....

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Well we won't be seeing that clown for a while.....

Why?

This has nothing at all to do with the Daniels case. Why would you think it does?

Remember that we now have proof that trump paid and then lied about it.

Except that trump never pays his bills, his debts or makes good on vows to donate to charities - like vets, for example.

Funny how Karma works......

Scumbag attention whoring attorney to cum guzzler Skanky Daniels Michael Avenatti ...

I find this really interesting. Especially the part where it is the firm he works for, and not Avenatti himself.

This will not stop Ms. Daniels from pursuing her case.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Why? This won’t affect the Daniels lawsuit.

I never gave Stormy much credit for her level of intelligence but even she knows this clown will be a drag on her case....she will be seeking new representation....

She certainly outsmarted the fat cheeto.

Even though I rated this as "funny and agree", I think that Mr. Avenatti has done most of the work outsmarting Trump and his lawyers.

You worry about Aveneti??
Back in 2011, Donald Trump published “Midas Touch,” one of his many how-to books offering secrets for financial success. This is where Trump, a lifelong performance artist, revealed that one of his favorite business personas is the “Outlaw.”



“The Outlaw archetype loves to break the rules,” the book noted. “The motto of the Outlaw is: ‘Rules are meant to be broken.’”



The president, who turns 72 next month, has prided himself on being a rule-breaker in business and politics for the past 50 years. Back in the 1970s, he and his father flouted federal housing regulations by discriminating against prospective renters of color at their apartment buildings in Brooklyn and Queens. During his own career as a New York developer, Trump routinely tried to strong-arm regulators and politicians who asked him to comply with local zoning and housing laws.



After flirting with personal bankruptcy in the early 1990s, Trump used his media platform to slag bankers tasked with keeping him on an allowance while they juggled more than $3 billion in loans he couldn’t repay. His biggest Atlantic City, N.J., casino, the Taj Mahal (which eventually filed for bankruptcy protection), violated anti-money-laundering regulations 106 times during its first 18 months in business, prompting the Treasury Department to fine the company about $500,000 in 1998. In 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission forced Trump’s casino company to sign a cease and desist agreement after an investigation showed it had used “fraudulent” reporting tactics and doctored accounting in its public earnings statements.



Since his earliest days in Atlantic City, Trump also did business with organized crime figures, a practice he continued more recently in New York City when he helped develop the Trump SoHo Hotel. In yet another set of dustups, beginning in 2010, Trump University students and the New York State attorney general separately sued Trump’s company for fraud. Trump repeatedly denigrated a judge in one of the cases, then settled some of the claims for $25 million in 2016.

Now, as we all know, the Justice Department has tasked Robert Mueller with investigating whether Trump’s presidential campaign colluded with the Kremlin to tilt the 2016 campaign in Trump’s favor. Mueller is investigating possible obstruction of justice by the Trump camp as well as the Trump Organization’s business dealings — all of which is well within the special counsel’s broad mandate. The president has always disliked the investigation, a sentiment that was in full flower on Sunday when he took to Twitter to tell the world how he intended to interfere with it:
