Disgraced New York attorney Michael Avenatti was found guilty on all counts of extortion in his legal trial against Nike. The suit alleged that Avenatti threatened the corporation with a press conference accusing Nike of corruption unless the company paid him and his co-conspirator millions of dollars. Avenatti still faces charges in California alleging that he deceived clients, and this trial is set to begin in May.
