Lawyer Michael Avenatti found guilty of trying to extort Nike | US news | The Guardian
Avenatti, who was all but unknown until he began representing Stormy Daniels, could face more than 40 years in prison
Michael Avenatti, the combative lawyer who gained fame by representing porn star Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against Donald Trump, was convicted Friday of trying to extort the sportswear giant Nike.
The verdict was returned by a federal jury in Manhattan following a three-week trial in which prosecutors said Avenatti threatened to use his media access to hurt Nike’s reputation and stock price unless the company paid him up to $25m.

I wonder if I can get a deal on his Ferrari.
