Not sure if this was covered yet. Don't see it in the notables.

We know Avenatti is a major league tax deadbeat. Avenatti is personally named as a debtor in several tax liens worth more than $1.2 million filed by governments. According to Nexis, those tax liens are: $308,396 to the IRS (filed Feb. 22, 2018); $903,987 to the IRS (Sept. 2, 2015); and $13,346 to the State of California (Sept. 12, 2014).

Avenatti reportedly owes millions more dollars to various governments but that could not be confirmed at press time. Heavy claims “Avenatti and his coffee company are looking at more than $5 million in tax liens” related to taxes that were supposed to be withheld from employees’ pay. The Nexis public records database identifies the company, Global Baristas, as the debtor, but not Avenatti personally.

"Grey's Anatomy" actor Patrick Dempsey was involved in a business deal with Avenatti in which the thespian became part owner of Tully's Coffee Shops, a chain in the Pacific Northwest operated by Global Baristas. Things soured and Dempsey sued Avenatti in 2012 to extricate himself from the investment, according to Heavy. The case was settled out of court.
