Discussion: Avenatti Charged With Stealing Millions From Clients, Fraud, Cheating On Taxes

It’s a tempting stream of cash for a desperate or crooked business owner, but the easiest thing in the world for the IRS to do is discover mismatched dollar amounts that are tagged to a specific SS number.

[/quote]Donny is too stoopid and too much the sociopath to heed advice. Avenatti should have known better.

Anyone have a link to the actual indictment?

So, in other words, if we substitute the word “contractors” for “clients”, Avenatti has done all the same things trump has done, except probably to a far lesser extent.

So donnie will soon be charged, right? Or at least as soon as the WH door hits him in the ass on his way out?

In the beginning I was all for the guy. Finally, someone was taking it to Trump.

It’s expensive to go up against Don the Con, especially in his latest grift as POTUS. It cost Jeff Bezos $35 billion, and could cost Avenatti his freedom. Let’s hope it doesn’t cost all of us our democracy.

Mon Dieu!

Amazing how easy it is to charge and try a private citizen, while it seems almost impossible to charge an obvious criminal like Trump. By putting the office of the president on such a high pedestal, we’ve made the occupant almost untouchable in the process. By doing so, when faced with an obvious clear and present danger like Trump (and his family), the system seems incapable of dealing with it.

If we survive this, the lesson won’t be that Trump was a bad guy, it will be how weak our system of justice really is when it comes to dealing with powerful people. And how eager people in a position to do something about it are to protect privilege and power from justice.
