Michael Avenatti was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison on July 8 after he was found guilty of an extortion scheme against Nike, finalizing the downfall of Stormy Daniel’s former attorney and mainstream media commentator.
Avenatti, who rose to fame for his criticism of then-President Donald Trump, received a much lower sentence than the sentencing range suggested by federal guidelines. He also received a sentence of three years of supervised release.
