What a set up by the SDNY. You'd think they would take a day or so to take him down. Nope. 30 minutes.

I loathe Avenatti, more than any public figure I can think of. Almost unhealthily.
He is a shameless, grandstanding, used car dealer, faux-tough-guy a-hole who gives the entire legal profession a bad name.
So, in summary -![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")

Phil Knight literally stole the shoe market from all of Asia and then forced them to make all of his shoes in sweatshops while he kept all the money. A dweeb porn-lawyer isnt going to win a head-to-head battle here.
Hat-tip to my guy

Did this really happen?
He tweets that he’s about to bring down Nike, then immediately gets arrested for extortion. You could call 911 and report a burglary in progress and shit wouldn’t go down that fast.

He appears to have been arrested for embezzlement by the California district while simultaneously being charged with extortion in New York. Impressive hour for the guy.
Important to keep this in mind:
The allegations Avenatti was making are still going to come to light because that's part of the extortion, just like in the Pitino/Sypher case. Pitino had to say why she was threatening him to the feds. Nike has already told the feds why Avenatti was threatening them.

He somehow got arrested in NY and Cali simultaneously. In short, don't f*ck with Phil.
When I read the back-to-back posts on KSR, I had to stop and think really hard if it's April Fool's Day, or some other occasion for a prank.
The immediate turn of events is just unreal.![[jumpingsmile]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/happy/happy0028.r191677.gif "Jumping Smile [jumpingsmile]")

Stolen from lawyer friend:
He’ll likely represent himself, argue this was a legitimate attempt to settle a case, then present all of his supposed evidence.
This ain’t over.
F Avenatti, and the rest of you scoundrel attorneys.

And people think Twitter sucks.
Nike is doing the same thing Adidas is doing. I thought that was common knowledge. Look at the Marvin Bagley house deal.
Avenatti: "Pay me millions or I'm gonna tell everyone how you---"
Nike: "Just do it."
Nike: "Just do it."

I read all of these posts in a row. Didn’t even get the chance to make a smart ass remark about not giving a shit. At some point, if every blue blood gets involved in this, then nothing happens to anyone. Kind of like 1 kill is a murder, and a million murders is a statistic.
He was arrested by the FBI...14 minutes after his tweet.
Meanwhile, I've been waiting on Grubhub for an hour with my Rattlesnake fries.

Good point PTI... what's really the difference between what he did and saying "if we don't settle for X, I'll see you in court where I'll sue you for 10X"?
Checked my phone and was hit by both sets of news at once, except I read the arrest first.
Talk about a couple of really confusing minutes.

That is impressive only for the fact of how hard it is to do, even if you were intentionally trying.
I'm no lawball but I don't think settlements typically include an attorney requiring the other party to employ them.
Set aside the extortion, he’s turbo-f*cked for misappropriating client funds for personal use. He’ll likely be disbarred for that.
This ain't over until Chief comes over and explains what is being said on the "Main Board"
Lots of laughing at Democrats and the liberal media for fawning over this guy. I could go on but won't.
RE: Timing
-the extortion happened a while back. This cat got a heads up from someone that he was about to be arrested...so he tweets out his bullshit to muddy the waters.

Wouldn't it be *hilarious* if he ended up sharing a cell with Michael Cohen?!? LM(f)AO!
Doesn't the complaint say the first act of extortion occurred March 20, 2019? If so, that's moving at the speed of light for the feds, meaning they have one or more reasons to try and keep him quiet.
He’ll drop those to the SDNY just like the guy who was busted for fraud let slip “by the way Aunt Becky paid to have her kid get into USC as a rower”
