As attorney Robert Barnes has discovered Michael Avenatti has a very disturbing and possibly criminal past.
Avenatti is deeply in debt — Not just with his failed coffee company but with his law firm which failed to even file his law firm’s income tax returns for 2014, 2015, and 2016.
On Thursday May 10th Michael Avenatti released a statement saying all fees and and expenses of his case with porn star Stormy Daniels “have either been funded by our client, Ms. Stephanie Clifford, or by donations from our crowdjustice.com page.
But is this a true statement? Is all of Michael Avenatti’s income from Stormy Daniels coming from a crowdsource page?Or is this just another Avenatti lie?
In December 2017 court documents Michael Avenatti declared only $412,000 in total assets.
This form by Avenatti was filed with the bankruptcy court.
As attorney Robert Barnes reported earlier today in January 2018 Michael Avenatti got an unidentified source of income that allowed him to pay:
** $4.85 Million to his law firm employees he defrauded
** Close to $2 Million in back taxes for payroll taxes on his law firm
** Nearly another $1 million to other creditors
This occured at the same time he picked up a new client — Stormy Daniels.
In January 2018, #Avenatti got an unidentified source of income that allowed him to pay $4.85M to his law firm employees he defrauded, close to $2M in back taxes for payroll taxes on his law firm, and near another $1M to other creditors. Same time as: new client #StormyDaniels. https://t.co/svr125THxe

Robert Barnes provided The Gateway Pundit with the February court document.
Avenatti mysteriously came across at least $8 million to pay off his debts.
