It seems that the Southern District of New York is capable of multitasking when it comes to high profile cases. Michael Avenatti has been charged with attempting to extort $25 million from Nike. In a tweet this morning, Avenatti said
(twitter sic) He was arrested 2 hours after his tweet.
The Central District of California is also pursuing unrelated wire fraud allegations.
He’s had other run-ins with the law but got out of a domestic abuse charge in LA.
I’m no lawyer but I think he’s going to need a good one. He should consider Rudy Giuliani. He should have a little more free time now and he has experience dealing with the SDNY.
