Deception...


Image result for Avenatti
Federal prosecutors in New York unsealed new charges against Michael Avenatti, accusing the prominent lawyer of defrauding adult-film star Stormy Daniels, in connection with her book deal. 
One accuses him of aggravated identity theft and wire fraud in the Daniels case. Though she is not named in the document. He is charged with diverting some of the book’s proceeds and spending it on his personal and business expenses.
The other indictment formally charges Avenatti with attempting to extort the athletic apparel company Nike in a separate case connected to his arrest in March.
Avenatti, as alleged, instead engaged in outright deception and theft, victimizing rather than advocating for his client.” 
Separately, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have filed a 36-count indictment against Avenatti, alleging he swindled clients and sought to cover up financial chicanery in other schemes.
