She had terrible connection problems, she kept going offline and that annoyed her and the audience. She's going to Avenatti's sentencing & was vocal about how much she hates him. She answered a lot of questions (she had trouble keeping up, she needed moderators, it was a free for all). She's from New Orleans and is very into paranormal stuff, tarot card readings, ghosts and stuff. https://spookybabesshow.com/ is the brand. Other than the tech issues, it was actually enjoyable, it was free to watch but people were tipping, she was topless by the end but really it was her feisty personality that was most interesting.

Judge:

FOUR years for Avenatti, a portion of which is concurrent to his other sentence in the Nike case.

So it's an additional two-and-a-half years.

But he said guidelines calling for Avenatti, 51, to serve a sentence of five or six years were "unreasonable", in part due to Avenatti's prior successful legal career.

I dunno… it seems that you could also make the opposite argument, that with his legal background he should have realized how heinous and illegal his actions were and so a stiffer sentence would be justified.

Michael Avenatti Ordered to Pay Restitution to Stormy Daniels in Fraud Lawsuit

Michael Avenatti, the attorney who represented Stormy Daniels in a lawsuit against former president Donald Trump, was ordered to pay $148,750 in restitution to Daniels on Friday.

Avenatti was convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in February for embezzling nearly $300,000 away from the porn actress after she signed her book deal. He is serving a four-year prison sentence in Manhattan.

Avenatti was found guilty of diverting nearly $300,000 of the proceeds form Full Disclosure, after prosecutors claimed that he forged Daniels’s signature to tell the publisher where to send the money, according to Reuters.

Daniels testified in January that “Michael had been lying and stealing from me” after promising he would “never take a penny” from the book proceeds.

The restitution charges are less than the initial embezzled amount because Avenatti has already paid some money back to Daniels. Avenatti has also been ordered to pay $259,800.50 to Nike after he tried to extort millions of dollars from the company.
