The disgraced lawyer faces up to 22 years in prison when sentenced for wire fraud and identity theft. Evidence showed that in 2018 he forged Daniels’ signature and redirected advance payments for Daniels tell-all, “Full Disclosure,” to an account he controlled.
The California attorney, whose background is in civil, not criminal law, elected to defend himself against the felony charges, dumping his public defenders in open court on its second day.
“Stormy Daniels is insane. She’s a porn actress. She doesn’t understand the real world,” Avenatti once told literary agent Luke Janklow.
