I cannot say I am even surprised by this considering how sleazy Michael Avenatti already is, right?
It seems that the old saying, you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep is pretty accurate.
Here is more from The Federalist Papers:
As many have heard by now former Stormy Daniel attorney Michael Avenatti was just arrested on charges of trying to milk Nike out of more than $20 million.
The U.S. Attorneys offices in New York and Los Angeles separately filed charges against Avenatti, with the California case accusing him of embezzling a client’s money to cover his own debts, as well as using phony tax returns to obtain millions of dollars in loans from a bank.
Avenatti threatened to expose allegations of misconduct from Nike employees unless the apparel company paid him and an unnamed co-conspirator $22.5 million to “buy Avenatti’s silence,” the New York complaint said.
Now it turns out that Avenatti’s co-conspirator is none other than Mark Geragos, the celebrity attorney and CNN analyst, according to The Wall Street Journal. Geragos is also Jussie Smollet’s attorney.
Do you mean @CNN legal analyst Mark Geragos? That's his co-conspirator? Because that would make it so much better. https://t.co/7JcGnAhatx

Mark Geragos has represented Jussie Smollett and Colin Kaepernick, who recently settled with the NFL for less than $10 million. https://t.co/O7TDnCQZNF https://t.co/z9F3RNnZPY
