The sentence handed down in Manhattan federal court on Thursday means Michael Avenatti will spend an additional 2½ years in prison when stacked upon his Nike conviction

Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to four years in prison for cheating client Stormy Daniels – the porn actor who catapulted him to fame – of hundreds of thousands of dollars in book proceeds.

At trial earlier this year, Avenatti represented himself, cross-examining his former client for hours about their experiences in early 2018, when she signed a book deal that provided an $800,000 payout. Prosecutors said he illegally pocketed about $300,000 of her advance on “Full Disclosure,” published in fall 2018.
