Breaking: Michael Avenatti Sentenced to Four Years in Prison for Stealing from Stormy Daniels

Michael Avenatti, the former attorney for Stormy Daniels, was sentenced to four years in prison on Thursday for stealing nearly $300,000 in book advance money from the adult film star.

The sentencing comes after Avenatti was convicted of aggravated identity fraud and wire fraud, for which he faced up to two years in prison and 20 years in prison, respectively.

Avenatti also previously received a 2.5 year sentence in a separate case for trying to extort Nike out of $25 million. He will serve a portion of the new sentence alongside the jail sentence he is already serving from the Nike extortion case. In total, he faces five years in prison, according to Reuters.
