Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer Reputedly Defaulted On Almost Half A Million Dollars In Back taxes

On Tuesday, it was revealed that Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti has reportedly defaulted on over $440,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest that he had personally promised to pay the Internal Revenue Service. The Los Angeles Times reported, Avenatti had promised to pay the money as part of a bankruptcy settlement for his law firm.

The Times wrote, “Under the Jan. 30 bankruptcy settlement, Avenatti personally agreed to pay the IRS $2.4 million in back taxes, penalties and interest, court records show. Nearly $1.3 million of that was for payroll taxes that his law firm withheld from employees, but did not turn over to the government. Avenatti has paid $1.5 million of what was due, but missed the deadline last week for paying the next installment of $440,291, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.”
