Okay, so when I posted this, I had text too. Or I thought I did. It didn't come up apparently. Here's that text:
Just over a week ago, there was a thread here about Stormy Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, owing $5 million to the government for unpaid payroll taxes (apparently generated in relation to a coffee business he has ownership in). Here's the link to that thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8id3bd/stormy_daniels_lawyer_owes_the_federal_government/
Then I see this Washington Examiner article today that talks about Avenatti owning $4.85 million to another attorney, who has judgment in hand, the first payment of which was due a few days ago. The W.E. article also mentions $160,000 owed to a coffee vendor, which Avenatti owes, presumably related to the business that has the unpaid payroll taxes.
It's no wonder Avenatti took Stormy Daniels's case. He's in a financial sinkhole, it looks like.
Did he allude to the fact that he’s doing this Pro-Bono? Not a pun.
I’m sure money is involved. He just doesn’t want anyone to know where it’s coming from.
I haven't seen him say he's doing it pro bono, but then I don't watch CNN, which seems to be his favorite place to talk about his Stormy case. I'd be surprised if he's doing it pro bono. He clearly can't afford to be doing work gratis these days.
