Bad Karma Strikes Again: Michael Avenatti Convicted of Stealing $300K from Stormy Daniels

Attorney-turned-criminal Michael Avenatti was convicted Friday of swiping nearly $300,000 in book-advance money from his then-client Stormy Daniels.

The now-twice-convicted felon — and one-time rising star — now faces a maximum of 22 years in prison for his conviction on wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges.

The jury started deliberating Wednesday. He’s scheduled to be sentenced on May 24.
