News Alert: Michael Avenatti convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for stealing from Stormy Daniels
  Michael Avenatti was convicted Friday of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for stealing from Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors alleged that Avenatti -- who helped negotiate the $800,000 advance for Daniels' October 2018 book "Full Disclosure" -- defrauded his former client by instructing her literary agent to send two of the installments of the advance totaling nearly $300,000 to an account controlled by him, rather than directly to Daniels, without her knowledge.
