100 YEARS, and he can't talk to Geragos.KEK

 

Michael Avenatti is released on $300K bail as he faces up to 100 years in jail for '$20m Nike extortion scheme' and is 'barred from speaking to co-conspirator and celebrity attorney Mark Geragos'

Michael Avenatti believes that he will be 'fully exonerated' on extortion charge

Avenatti said Monday night that he will never stop fighting against the 'powerful'

He was charged with extortion for allegedly trying to extort $25M from Nike

A complaint was filed on Monday by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York shortly after Avenatti tweeted about the company

'Tmrw at 11 am ET, we will be holding a press conference to disclose a major high school/college basketball scandal perpetrated by @Nike,' wrote Avenatti

On March 19, Avenatti allegedly told Nike's attorneys he would release damaging information about the company unless he received a multimillion dollar payment

The following day he allegedly said on a call: 'I'll go take ten billion dollars off your client's market cap … I'm not f***ing around'

A second defendant is listed as a cooperating witness and not identified in filings

Source who spoke with DailyMail.com said that the lawyer is Mark Geragos

He has yet to be charged with any crime but two people familiar with the investigation confirmed that he is unidentified co-conspirator in court papers

Geragos currently represents Jussie Smollett and has represented Michael Jackson, Colin Kaepernick, Winona Ryder and Chris Brown in the past

A second case accusing the lawyer of bank and wire fraud was also filed on Monday in the Central District of California

Former Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti has been released on $300,000 bail after he was charged with attempting to extort $25million from Nike, and has reportedly been barred from speaking to his alleged co-conspirator and celebrity attorney Mark Geragos who has represented Colin Kaepernick and is currently representing Jussie Smollett.

Avenatti was hit with the extortion charge in court papers filed earlier on Monday by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

He faces almost 100 years in prison if convicted in both cases as well as possible disbarment as a lawyer.

The charges are the result of Avenatti's alleged attempt to receive millions in payments from Nike based on damning information obtained by his client, a college basketball coach.

A second defendant is listed as a cooperating witness and not identified in the filings, though it is stated that he is a male and a lawyer who represents high profile clients.

A source who spoke with DailyMail.com said that the lawyer is Geragos, who has had a long career representing high-profile clients including Michael Jackson, Colin Kaepernick and Jussie Smollett.

Now Geragos might need a defense attorney himself after being named in the case.

Geragos has yet to be charged with any crime but two people familiar with the investigation confirmed Monday that he is the unidentified co-conspirator in court papers charging Avenatti with attempting to shake down Nike for $25million by threatening the company with bad publicity.

Judge presiding over a key lawsuit relating to financier pedophile Jeffrey Epstein dies, aged 96

US District Court Judge Robert Sweet died on Sunday; he was 96 years old

Sweet presided over a key lawsuit relating to pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein

He was assigned to a lawsuit that emerged 10 years ago following Epstein’s controversial plea deal to two prostitution-related offenses

Sweet oversaw the lawsuit that involved alleged sex slave Virginia Giuffre against Epstein-friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was accused of aiding Epstein

The filing was initially kept private by Judge Sweet with the understanding that they would become public at the time of trial, according to Giuffre's attorney

But there never will be a trial, because the lawsuit was settled in May of 2017

Epstein has been accused by alleged victims of bringing at least 40 underage girls to his Palm Beach, Florida, mansion for sexual encounters

Authorities said he had female fixers who would look for suitable girls, some local and others recruited from Eastern Europe and other parts of the world

Epstein took a controversial plea deal in 2008 which allowed him to avoid federal charges by pleading guilty to soliciting an underage girl for prostitution

The judge presiding over a key lawsuit relating to pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, has died.

US District Court Judge Robert Sweet, who is based in Manhattan, died on Sunday. He was 96 years old.

Sweet, who ruled on cases through the last few months, was assigned to a lawsuit that emerged 10 years ago following Epstein’s controversial plea deal, according to Politico.

At the time, he pleaded guilty to two prostitution-related offenses.

Sweet oversaw the lawsuit that involved alleged sex slave Virginia Giuffre (now Roberts) against Epstein-friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who Giuffre has accused of aiding Epstein, 66, in sex trafficking.

Giuffre and other victims waived their right to sue Epstein in exchange for settlements.

Maxwell and two others going only by 'John Doe' and 'J. Doe' argue that keeping the documents sealed, or at least covering up names and personal information of other people not named as a party in the lawsuit, is necessary to protect people 'whose privacy and reputations may be jeopardized,' according to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com.

 

Former federal prosecutor Nick Lewin on behalf of a 'John Doe,' and Washington-based gender equality attorney Kerrie Campbell on behalf of a 'J. Doe,' have now joined Maxwell in fighting to keep whatever is stated in those documents a secret.

According to Lewin, Sweet described the documents as including 'a range of allegations of sexual acts involving Plaintiff [Giuffre] and non-parties to this litigation, some famous, some not,' as well as 'the identities of non-parties who either allegedly engaged in sexual acts with Plaintiff or who allegedly facilitated such act[s].'

Sweet said about the case: 'This defamation action from its inception in September 2015 to its settlement in May 2017 has been bitterly contested and difficult to administer because of the truth or falsity of the allegations concerning the intimate, sexual, and private conduct of the parties and of third persons, some prominent, some private.'

Lewin is now arguing that to make the documents public as a whole 'will almost certainly disclose… allegations that may be the product of false statements or, perhaps, simply mistake, confusion, or failing memories of events alleged to have occurred over a decade and half ago.'

Campbell said her client, J. Doe, is 'objecting to public disclosure of specific content pertaining to Doe to protect compelling personal privacy interests'.

The filing was initially kept private by Judge Sweet with the understanding that they would become public at the time of trial, according to Giuffre's attorney.

But there never was, and never will be a trial, because the lawsuit was settled in May of 2017.

It was three other parties seeking to make the documents public that resulted in Judge Sweet ruling they should remain private, Politico reported.

Harvard law professor and former Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who is now a prominent Trump defender, along with filmmaker and far-right social media personality Mike Cernovich, and the Miami Herald, each asked the judge to unseal the filings.
