Stormy Clouds Ahead For Michael Avenatti!

Stormy Daniels will get the last laugh. Her former attorney Michael Avenatti will head to federal time out.

Stormy Daniels, the adult film star and activist won a case against her former attorney Michael Avenatti. He was found guilty in federal court for theft. He was convicted of stealing funding from Daniels. He will be sent to federal time out.

He was found guilty on both counts of wire fraud and identity theft for wrongly pocketing about $300,000 of the $800,000 advance that was paid to Daniels for her book, "Full Disclosure," which included details about an affair she says she had with Washed Up 45 before he was president.

The trial and conviction is the latest moment in Avenatti’s descent from his days as one of the former president's best-known critics.

Avenatti was convicted in 2020 of extortion, transmission of interstate communications with intent to extort and wire fraud in connection to threats he made against Nike, the sports equipment and apparel giant.

Last year, a federal judge sentenced him to 2½ years behind bars for those crimes. He is set to report to prison for that conviction later this year.

The jury did not buy Avenatti’s attempts to make Daniels the bad guy.

Daniels had ended her feud with former Washed Up 45 lawyer and now critic Michael Cohen. She appeared on his podcast last year to accept his apology. He also had an opportunity to get avenge himself against Avenatti.

Daniels became the most high profile figure in the former president's orbit. When he was then a reality television star, Washed Up 45 was newly married to his third wife. She was pregnant with their child when the former president had an affair with Daniels.

The National Enquirer and Wall Street Journal had dirt on this story and was going to go public with it. But the former president ordered Cohen to make Daniels sign a non-disclosure agreement and offer her a 6-figure payout to stay silent. He also asked his buddy at the Enquirer to bury the story along with his affair with Karen McDougal.

Daniels went public about the affair and it sparked a longstanding feud between her and the former president.
