Court upholds Michael Avenatti's conviction in Nike case​

A federal appeals court on Wednesday upheld disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti's conviction for plotting to extort up to $25 million from Nike -- one of several legal messes that have landed him behind bars. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Avenatti's claim that there wasn't sufficient evidence to support his February 2020 conviction on charges of extortion and honest services fraud for threatening to smear Nike in the media if he didn't get paid. A three-judge panel weighing Avenatti's appeal found that evidence, including bank statements, text messages, emails and witness testimony, was enough to permit "a reasonable jury to conclude that he had no claim of right to a personal payment from Nike, let alone to a $15 million-$25 million payment." Avenatti, who rose to fame representing porn actor Stormy Daniels in litigation against former President Donald Trump, was convicted last year of stealing book proceeds from Daniels and sentenced to 14 years in prison for stealing settlement funds from clients and failing to pay taxes for a coffee chain he owned.

Subject: Cease and Desist - Disruptive Behavior


Dear Charles (@blackfoot NAP ; @C-40)

I am writing to address the persistent and disruptive activities that have become synonymous with your presence at TROLL KINGDOM. Your continuous posting of articles without any meaningful engagement, the incessant updating of threads with copied content, and the blatant use of "sock" accounts to manipulate post interactions, are detrimental to the community.

This letter serves as an explicit demand for the immediate cessation of these disruptive behaviors. TROLL KINGDOM is a space intended for substantive and meaningful discussions; your actions are not only counterproductive but actively detrimental to the community's atmosphere.

Your current online conduct reflects poorly on your own character and undermines the quality of interaction for genuine members seeking valuable discourse. It is evident that your approach deviates from the communal spirit TROLL KINGDOM strives to uphold.

I strongly urge you to reconsider your online conduct and recalibrate your approach to align with the ethos of TROLL KINGDOM. Failure to comply with this demand will leave me with no option but to escalate the matter further.

I trust that you will take this communication seriously and act promptly to rectify your online behavior.

Sincerely,
