Michael Avenatti: Stormy Daniels Owes Me $2 Million Dollars Because I'm Such a Great Lawyer and Because I'm Flat Broke and Desperate for a New Extortion But Mostly Because I'm Flat-Broke and Desperate for a New Extortion

John Sexton breaks down just how broke this broke-ass is, and it's very satisfying.

Attorney Michael Avenatti is demanding his former client Stormy Daniels pay up for all of his excellent representation over the years. He claims she owes him $2 million for all of his hard work.

In filing for a lien against Stormy Daniels, the most excellent lawyer claims:

“Despite repeated demands that Ms. Daniels fulfill her contractual obligations and pay for the millions of dollars in legal fees and costs she has enjoyed for her benefit over the last approximate 19 months, including in this case, she has refused.”

Didn't Avenatti start a crowdfunding page to get liberals to donate to Stormy Daniels and thereby to him? Sure looks that way!

My name is Stephanie Clifford (aka Stormy Daniels).

...

I need funds to pay for: attorneys' fees; out-of-pocket costs associated with the lawsuit, arbitration, and my right to speak openly; security expenses; and damages that may be awarded against me if I speak out and ultimately lose to Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen.

That raised $577,000.

Stormy Daniels also alleged that Avenatti opened another fundraising site -- without telling her he had done so.

For months I've asked Michael Avenatti to give me accounting information about the fund my supporters so generously donated to for my safety and legal defense. He has repeatedly ignored those requests. Days ago I demanded again, repeatedly, that he tell me how the money was being spent and how much was left. Instead of answering me, without my permission or even my knowledge Michael launched another crowdfunding campaign to raise money on my behalf. I learned about it on Twitter.

Why would he not tell her? Oh, well, I couldn't speculate, but it might have to do with the fact that he is accused of routinely embezzling huge sums of money from his putative clients.

I suppose it's possible that she never turned over any money which had been raised to pay her lawyer bills.

And it's also possible Avenatti pocketed money that should have gone to Daniels, as he's done with other clients.

These two deserve each other.
