Busted cold. Even without the Nike extortion, heād be toast. Unless, like the Mafia, youāre dealing with satchels of cash, all of these transactions leave a trail. You canāt actually āhideā funds.
Fathead.
Lots of similarities of criminal behavior between Avenatti and King Dumb Dumb, except oneās been arrested and could spend a long time in jail if convicted, the other, not-so-much.
The surprise was Geragos.
Cocaine is the Devilās drug.
Definite presidential timber thereā¦
I guess the remarkable thing at this point is that Avenatti appeared to skirt justice for as long as he had. The feds seem to have him dead to rights about six ways from Sunday.
Regardless of Avenattiās culpability, Nike is indeed a massively corrupt company that pays student athletes under the table or however it can in order to secure ādealsā to promote Nikeās products. The entire NCAA is a rotten, corrupt organization that exploits student athletes who make colleges hundreds of millions of dollars, but the athlete gets nothing. Nike may have a case against Avenatti, but the reverse is true too. It all stinks like a locker room after a summer football practice.
Guy sounds uniquely qualified to run for president against the uniquely qualified current occupant. Maybe he should reconsider ā might be popular with the presidentās base.
Hopefully this wonāt affect his presidential bid.
At least Nikeās paying the āstudentā-athletes.
I read the written work that Avenatti submitted, and looked at some of his really bad tactical decisions (e.g. not moving to remand danielās case when it was pulled into the federal courtroom of a bush II hack) and it is clear that (a) his legal strategy is bad, and (b) he was himself unable to do complex writing or hire anyone who could.
Just not a ālawyerās lawyerā as we sayā¦
What he was is a legal thug, and these type of people are not careful, and eventually end up broke or disbarred. Avenatti will be both, plus in jailā¦
Dudeās a fucking clown and I said so from the beginning.
Avenatti, Nike, plague on both houses.
ETA. Avenattiās first 15 minutes are up. Looks like he may be getting an additional 15 that wonāt be so pleasant.
Sounds like how big business treats the essential workers, or would prefer to if it werenāt for the Rule of Lawā¦Oh, wait.
The crux of the problem is āStudent Athleteā , if students and their educational facilities focused on education instead of making huge money with young bodies none of the above would happen.
Anyone else forseeing MAās future?
Wut?
I still give him credit for having president traitor named as āindividual 1ā. But, I seems, it takes a criminal to know one.
