Michael Avenatti sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for attempting to extort Nike
Avenatti was convicted in February 2020 of three counts for threatening to publicly accuse the sportswear company of illicitly paying amateur basketball players unless Nike paid him.
The judge sentenced him to much less than the sentence the guidelines recommend because Avenatti had a hard time when he was first jailed due to the bad conditions in the facility where he was held. Ah, poor baby.
And he still has 2 upcoming trials for defrauding clients.
A federal judge on Thursday sentenced celebrity lawyer turned criminal defendant Michael Avenatti to 30 months in prison for attempting to extort millions of dollars from Nike.
