LOS ANGELES – DOJ and IRS set to announce 36 count indictment against Michael Avenatti
- Thread starter Shard Shinjuku

Now I know why the dude wanted to run for president, lol
Narcissists don't care about the ramifications of their actions. He saw an area where he could make money by going after a highly controversial president with a "scandalous" accusation, and went for it.
Considering the credentials of the current occupant, you have to admit that he's more than qualified - they both fucking love crimes.
here's the doj press release & indictment:

even more! The indictment alleges he last filed his taxes in 2010. He's just getting charged for 3 years, possibly because of the statute of limitations.
People on Era wanted him to run for President because he was "a fighter".
Passport 420, LLC? At least we know his PSN and XBL handle...
No, to be president of the US of A, you need to know how to commit crimes but not get caught.
I'll give you the domestic assault crap being politically motivated, but what he's charged with now (which seems to not even include the Nike stuff) is purely on him.
Not saying he is innocent at all but how many other rich guys are out there running rackets. They targeted him because he went after Trump.
His mistake was not running. Running would have made him untouchable by the FBI and IRS apparently. /s
I just changed my vote to yes. I wasn't feeling it at the time, but this puts him over the top.
Speaking of, why the hell has Wohl still not been arrested yet? And why is there discussion of hundreds of years in prison for Avenatti while Manfort got something like eight? Evidence that the system is rigged continues to pile up.
because 1. lots of what wohl did isn't super obviously criminal, 2. investigations take time, and 3. you're comparing the bullshit theoretical statutory maximum sentence that has no relation to how the federal sentencing guidelines work to a sentence a person actually received. manafort was "facing" 305 years by the same token on one of his indictments but guidelines range was more like 20. he still got off light, but you should ignore the nonsense hundreds-of-years stuff the media throws out because it's just not how things work.
honestly wohl is a pathetic laughingstock who failed to convince even the conservative media of his hit jobs and I don't know why people are so hung up on him not "going to prison" when we're in a thread about a lawyer who allegedly stole entire multi-million dollar settlements so he could buy private jets.
If convicted, Avenatti will end up with 5-10 years, the 335 years is just the theoretical maximums if served consecutively. It's what journalists focus on when the story breaks because it's usually so sensational, but it warps people's perceptions because the final sentences are rarely ever close to the max term. He's a first time, white collar offender (AFAIK) so he won't get anywhere close to the max and he'll serve the sentences concurrently.
Trump legit laughing his ass off.
This idiot with this amount of baggage went on national TV for what exactly? His 15mins of fame?
Smh it's like a crooked ahole snitching on his crooked buds pointing fingers. Both him and Trump can rot in a prison.

There were legitimately people talking about it here on Era. So yeah, social media.
After learning about this and other recent stuff, I take it back, he should not even be allowed to entertain running for president. What an absolute fucking shit-stain. Fuck off into jail you parasitic leech.
