Avenatti, perhaps more than anyone outside Trumpworld, fit the Trump-era life cycle as outcast turned star turned criminal.
Avenatti’s rising star power had attracted a new type of celebrity-targeting client as the lawyer had turned his newly minted platform on targets other than Trump. With a sticking-up-for-the-little-guy affect, Avenatti threatened to take on Nike, alleging he held in his hands evidence of damning allegations against the global behemoth.
The case went to trial and a jury, in February, found Avenatti guilty on three counts of extortion, transmission of interstate communications with intent to extort, and wire fraud.Avenatti told the court he had always wanted to fight for the little guy and “for years, I did just that,” he said. “But I lost my way.” “Mr. Avenatti had become drunk on the power of his platform,” Judge Gardephe said in a Manhattan federal courtroom during sentencing Thursday.
