Remember that smug lawyer by the name of Michael Avenatti, that the far-left media used to fawn over?
At one time, Avenatti was teasing a presidential run to take on President Trump.
Avenatti was sentenced to two and a half years in prison last year for trying to extort Nike.
Following that, he was sentenced to an additional four years for stealing book proceeds from Stormy Daniels, his former client.
Apparently, things just got worse for him.
Avenatti was just sentenced to an additional 14 years in prison and ordered to pay $11 million for tax evasion and for stealing MILLIONS of dollars from his clients.
The LA Times reported the details:
Michael Avenatti, the once-swaggering celebrity lawyer who was undone by his proclivity for embezzlement and fraud, was sentenced Monday to 14 years in prison for dodging taxes and stealing millions of dollars from clients.
His sentencing by U.S. District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana concludes the last of three federal prosecutions of the former attorney, who gained notoriety for representing adult film star Stormy Daniels in her legal battles against former President Trump.
Selna said Avenatti had accomplished “good things in his life,” but had “also done great evil.” He ordered Avenatti to pay nearly $8 million in restitution to his victims and $3.2 million to the government.
Avenatti, 51, is already serving five years in prison for his extortion and fraud convictions at two trials in New York. Selna ordered him to serve the 14 years he received in the latest case after the five-year sentence is complete. Federal prosecutors in California had asked Selna to order Avenatti locked up for an additional 17 years and six months.
Many of the leftist news organizations now reporting on Avenatti’s sentencing used to fawn over him embarrassingly.
