Former Client Accuses Michael Avenatti of Operating Law Firm Like a ‘Ponzi Scheme’

 

A former client of Michael Avenatti alleges the celebrity lawyer secretly pocketed his money after helping him secure a settlement, then tried to lend him back some of the funds with 10 percent interest. That client, Gregory Barela, made the allegations in a statement of claims filed with Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), a private arbitration organization. Barela’s lawyer provided the claim, which is not public, to The Daily Beast.

 

“Avenatti was operating his law firm in a Ponzi scheme like manner, taking settlement proceeds received for clients to pay off debts, pay the other individual Defendants’ salaries and bonuses, and fund his lavish lifestyle, while telling clients that the settlement proceeds had not been received or would be received at a later date,” says the claim, which also targets two other lawyers at Avenatti’s firm.

Democrats: Stone's indictment, arrest implicate Trump campaign

 

Top Senate Democrats charged Thursday that the criminal charges against Roger Stone that led to his arrest early Friday morning implicate President Trump’s campaign and its alleged plot with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016.

 

“It is clear from this indictment that those contacts happened at least with the full knowledge of, and appear to have been encouraged by, the highest levels of the Trump campaign,” Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a statement Friday.

Warner should tell us more about his collusion with Adam Waldman & Chris Steele.
