Mikey Nats is indicted for extortion and wire fraud.
Attorney Michael Avenatti, who became well-known as the lawyer for Stormy Daniels and an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, has been charged with extortion and wire fraud in an alleged plot to extort Nike. He also faces fraud charges in two other cases.
Prosecutors said in a court filing on Wednesday that a grand jury in New York had returned a superseding indictment which charges Avenatti with 3 counts: Transmission of Interstate Communications With Intent To Extort, Extortion, and Wire Fraud.
Two conspiracy counts which were part of the original indictment were dropped by the grand jury, but one count of wire fraud was added. If convicted on all counts, Avenatti could face decades in prison.
