NEW YORK — 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 panel also rejected Avenatti’s claims that jurors weren’t properly instructed in the law and that the trial judge missed a deadline for requiring him to pay restitution to Nike.Avenatti, who rose to fame representing porn actress 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.
Avenatti demanded that Nike pay a settlement to the whistleblower and hire him and Geragos “to conduct an internal investigation into corruption in basketball,” or they would hold a news conference on the eve of the company’s quarterly earnings call to “blow the lid on this scandal,” prosecutors said.
