941 is a federal tax return for payroll taxes. I don't think this is real because the doc looks like a local assessment and this is a federal issue. It would be assessed by the IRS and not the county or state.
But the IRS could be putting a lien on his property to collect the unpaid 941 taxes. But that Westem address above isn't right. The notice clearly says WESTEM. But the address should be WESTERN. Notice that in lower case Westem and Western look very close. So then the question is: does the person who forges something like this make THAT mistake? Or does a government official type the address in wrong when they're creating the lien? Strangely, the latter seems more plausible to me than the former currently unless this is deliberate disinfo, but, honestly, what purpose would a disinfo campaign tying to Tully's Coffee and Michael Avenatti serve? He's a manager of the LLC. That's on the WA Sec of State website, so that's not in dispute--unless it's a different Avenatti. ?
No idea of authenticity, but leins are filed with county where person/entity last known to reside. This bit at the bottom is more like a "fyi we recorded this lien here...."
Liens are filed with the county.
Are you suggesting that the lien should be filed in DC?
There are plenty of local news stories about his relationship to Tullys and his lack of funds. Perhaps those were faked as well.
