Karma can be a real bitch can’t it? Creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti was indicted on 36 federal charges including embezzlement and could face as many as 330 years in prison. Of course, since Avenatti is CNN and the Democrat’s BFF, he will likely never serve any significant time in jail for his alleged crimes. The crappy Democrat cesspool of Los Angeles will probably do for him what Kim Foxx and Chicago did for Jussie Smollett.

A federal grand jury in Los Angeles indicted celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti on 36 counts, including embezzlement, wire fraud, tax evasion and bank fraud connected to his alleged theft of tens of millions of dollars.
Beginning in 2015, Avenatti executed a scheme to defraud five clients, according to the indictment, one of whom was a paraplegic from whom Avenatti withheld a settlement payment of $4 million.
The indictment also accuses Avenatti of having failed to file multiple individual income tax returns, saying the last such return he filed with the IRS was in 2010.
After Avenatti negotiated settlements for the clients that required payment to go to them, he would lie to the clients about the terms of the settlements, instead depositing the funds to attorney trust accounts he controlled, the indictment says. He would then embezzle and misappropriate those funds. To prevent discovery of his scheme, he told clients the settlement proceeds hadn’t yet been paid, among other tactics.
