High-profile attorney Michael Avenatti is facing a raft of new charges after a federal grand jury indicted him on 36 counts of theft of millions of dollars from clients, bank fraud, tax evasion, and perjury in bankruptcy proceedings.
The new charges, announced by federal prosecutors on April 11, follow his arrest last month in New York for allegedly trying to extort Nike for up to $25 million and two similar charges in California.
