These details are something else
[Spoiler (click to open)]The 61 pg Southern California indictment of 36 NEW charges alleges he embezzled from a paraplegic man plus four other clients. He deceived them by shuffling money between accounts, only paying them a small portion of their settlement and keeping the rest for himself.
He is also alleged to have not paid his personal income taxes, not paid his business taxes (includes two law firms), and embezzled payroll taxes from his Tully's Coffee chain that he owned. Indictments allege that crimes date back to (at least) 2014.
More allegations: He failed to pay $3.2M in payroll taxes from his coffee chain during a 2+ yr period, then had the employees deposit cash receipts to a different bank account when the IRS came looking for their money. He submitted false tax returns to get $4M in loans from a MI bank in 2014, he owes a former law partner $14M from one of his law firms which subsequently filed bankruptcy, then submitted forms under penalty of perjury that under reported his income during bankruptcy proceedings
One client, a man who became paralyzed after attempting suicide in county jail, received a $4M settlement. But Avenatti kept the settlement for himself, only paying the man in small amounts over a long period as a placeholder and claimed the actual settlement had never been paid. When the man went to purchase a home, Avenatti lied during the escrow period that the settlement was still outstanding. The man's Social Security disability benefits were stopped in February because Avenatti didn't respond to SSA attempts to verify the man's income needs.
For a different client, Avenatti /allegedly/ funneled the $2.75M settlement into several of his bank accounts, then purchased a $2.5M private plane (the plane has been confiscated)
