      Comment from @MichaelAvenatti on this: "Nonsense. Completely different law firm - no ties to Daniels case. Irrelevant. Over blown. Sensational reporting at its finest. No judgment against me or the firm handling the Daniels case (which was formed in 2006) was issued."https://twitter.com/finneganLAT/status/998985104285319168 …

      Chris Geidner added,

      Breaking: Avenatti law firm hit today with $10 million judgment in US Bankruptcy Court. Justice Dept lawyer says Avenatti also defaulted on back taxes he’d agreed to pay. Story ahead.

      Just talked to Avenatti, who acknowledges that the judgment is against his former firm — Eagan Avenatti — but says it's irrelevant to his work as a lawyer in the Stormy Daniels case. He also said that he personally did not default on any back taxes.

          His "other businesses and personal life" are irrelevant to his representation, he told me, and would not talk about the personal guarantee that he made regarding the settlement payment that the EA firm missed leading to today's judgment, reiterating that it is irrelevant.

          The Cal Bar Association still has Avenatti at Eagan Avenatti. He needs to update his info.

          Also, Avenatti & Associates APC has the same mailing address as Eagan Avenatti did, and on court filings, the email domain is http://eoalaw.com  (Eagan, O'Malley & Avenatti).

          How long before he says on TV he's willing to produce his tax returns, and Trump isn't? This is the next logical step...

          i understand that he "asked for it" by his ubiquitous appearances, but i tend to agree it's not relevant. i dont know what the limiting principle is here. if i take a high-profile case, my personal finances suddenly become newsworthy?

          Replying to @chrisgeidner

          "personally?" He was a name partner on a law firm that went bankrupt, missed a payment on a settlement, and it's relevant. His financial status affects his decisions about what cases to accept and how to handle them. He's on the hook for a lot of money. That matters.

          He got a $150 million verdict last year. I think he’s doing ok.

          ...except he was late on an agreed upon payment of $1.5 million, an agreement that was court ordered. That's not good.

          Violating court orders is bad.

          Ha! In this case, the more likely scenario is that the entire debt might ripen and become due immediately. In any case, he'll have to cure the issue in some way, most likely by coming up with money quickly.
