SANTA ANA, Calif. - A federal judge revoked bail Wednesday for attorney Michael Avenatti after prosecutors detailed evidence of new financial crimes he committed while he was free and facing trials in New York and California.
Judge James Selna said Avenatti, best known as the brash lawyer for porn actress Stormy Daniels, likely committed the crimes and was a threat because of the prospect he would continue committing crimes while free.
“I believe the danger to the community is real and palpable,” Selna said in court.
Prosecutors were seeking to hold Avenatti behind bars for allegedly committing new acts of wire and mail fraud, both federal offenses, as well as possible state crimes in California and Washington state. Avenatti had been free on an unsecured $300,000 surety bond that required he not commit any crimes.
The alleged new crimes follow a pattern of misconduct since 2011 and appear to mirror crimes he is charged with committing in a 36-count indictment, prosecutors said.

Proving once again the aptness of the Japanese proverb: “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.”
I love how they use people up. They pull them up to heap praise on them as long as the public buys in, and then dump them to hardly ever be heard from again.
Makes you wonder how much we'll hear from Greta Thunberg over the next decade.
Remember he got involved with the Kavanaugh circus too, as he said his client had evidence of rape rooms, spiking drinks and all that?????
Nah. CNN will just have him spew his BS from his jail cell by FaceTime for satellite! LOL
Yeah, they’ll obliterate this guy who was obviously a dirtbag on day one of whenever you heard of him in a “sacrificial lamb” exercise. And leave half a dozen others like McCabe and Brennan and Comey alone. Just like they did to Manafort.
They’re giving people like this law licenses? Something’s terribly wrong with our system.
“Was he in the rat debate?”
In spirit.
We can safely assume they were channeling his ideas!
Ed Buck’s new cellmate.
See, New York State? THIS is how you do things.
