Father Of Santa Fe High School Shooter Calls His Son The “Victim”
May 22, 2018Uh oh…
Looks like CNN’s sweetheart might be a liiiittle bit of twouble.
And by a “little bit,” I mean 10 MILLION DOLLARS worth.
According to Daily Caller:
A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge on Tuesday ordered Michael Avenatti’s law firm to pay a former colleague $10 million.
The initial dispute stemmed after Jason Frank, who used to work at the Eagan Avenatti law firm, was personally promised by Avenatti to settle the $2 million by May 14. That money was never paid, the court found.
Frank had repeatedly requested payment from Avenatti but never received a response, according to an affidavit filed in court and which The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained.
“Michael Avenatti, in his individual capacity, agreed to personally guarantee the Settlement Payments in the event of default and entered into a Guaranty Agreement to that effect,” the document reads.
Other information was disclosed at the hearing about the financial struggles of Avenatti’s law firm. The Department of Justice alleged that Eagan Avenatti LLC had defaulted on back taxes and that the government is proceeding with efforts to demand that money.
He’s just the PICTURE of a conman lawyer, isn’t he?
According to the government, Avenatti had withheld $1.3 million from employees for payroll taxes, but never gave those funds to the government. In a settlement, that number was increased to $2.4 million because of penalties and interest.
When asked to explain the tardy payments by The Los Angeles Times, Avenatti placed the blame on a nameless payroll company and said the coverage of the case was “Sensational reporting at its finest,” and that “No judgment against me was issued nor do I owe any taxes.”
Avenatti is currently facing a number of legal challenges. TheDCNF discovered Wednesday that his coffee companies Global Baristas LLC and Global baristas US, LLC, had yet to pay a woman who won a sex-discrimination case any of the $120,000 that a Seattle judge ordered.

Forty-five other vendors and creditors have also currently filed lawsuits against Avenatti’s company.
Of COURSE it’s not his fault.
In fact… This is prooobably all part of that “personal attack,” right?
Never before has an ATTY in a lawsuit been personally attacked to this degree on issues that have nothing to do with the lawsuit or who he reps. My personal life, businesses, past clients, etc. have nothing to do with the current cases and the facts of those cases. #Desperate
