Soon-to-be headline: Avenatti DID kill himself.

He tried to borrow $ from my nephew who smelled a rat immediately. MA had a bunch of fancy cars - all leased. Everything was for show.

I can’t believe the stupid women who threw $ at him and begged him to run for POTUS. I’d like to hear what those idiots have to say now. LOL

CNN: “Ooooohhh...Mr. Avanneti you’re so presidential... Tell us more about how awful Trump is...”

The turkey was on CNN 121 times. All networks a total of 254 times!

He’ll ask for conjugal visits from Stormy Daniels.

Some lawyers make out OK in prison if they offer legal services to a gang or gang in exchange for protection.

Unfortunately for Mikey, he's a pretty lousy lawyer.

True, but there’s still the two criminal cases in New York and California, plus the bankruptcy and divorce proceedings. I’d be willing to warrant he’s going to end up with more jail time, but at the very least he’s not going to have the proverbial two nickels once this is over. Here’s a nice overview:

I figured that was just the Shawshank Redemption.

"If this is federal, I think he can earn 54 days per year "good time" credit which would rack up to 135 days early release. So I'm guessing he'll do 26 months or so (unless he bashes somebody over the head with his food tray or gets caught smuggling in a pack of smokes)."

It is Manhattan Federal.

He could serve even less if he claims drug dependency while inside, I think 10% more off plus the last 15% served in halfway house.

BUT, the Schadenfreude Envelope, please...

"He faces another trial in Manhattan for allegedly stealing $300,000 from Daniels. He faces a third case in Los Angeles for allegedly screwing over clients, lying in bankruptcy proceedings and other financial crimes."

“Freight weight weed” without guns is scary, scary stuff.

In some jurisdictions a mere 100lbs is worth $250k. Cash.

And it’s impossible to hide the smell. I’ve seen multiple attempts with various methods. I’ve never seen it work.

Which might be why your buddies got busted.

My cousin grows for a co op and was moving 350lbs (product of 99 plants in Sonoma county) in a Penske truck. A cop going the OTHER way on the 101 caught whiff and pulled him over for it.

He had to show tags, manifest and tax docs.

If he was crossing a state line anywhere he’d be in prison.
