Court upholds Michael Avenatti's conviction for plotting to extort up to $25 million from Nike

A federal appeals court has upheld disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti’s conviction for plotting to extort up to $25 million from shoe giant Nike – one of several legal messes that have landed him behind bars

Hey there Mastodonians,

For personal family reasons I'd rather not get into, I need help digging up dirt on three "buy gold/silver" companies.

They are 100% rightwing crazies. That isn't the issue. I am looking for dirt: scams, fraud, criminal histories, angry customers-- whatever you can dig up.

They are:
- ITM Trading (owner: Craig Griffin)
- GoldCo (Hannity affiliation)
- KirkElliottPhd dot com

I'm most concerned about Elliott "phd" because he claims 27 yrs experience, yet seems to have no real past beyond a certain point. He has SEO'd the fuck out of search engines. I think he might have changed his name at some point. Also, this Elliott is the one that a certain elderly, poor person is most eager to hand over all of her money to... SOON. Like, he has them hooked and excited and ancy. They can hardly wait to throw their money away.

PLEASE boost. I'm really racing the clock on this one.

@Popehat You must have just finished recording an episode.....😂

Just sittin here waiting for Scott Adams to threaten to sue us over making fun of him on the podcast based on the elements of defamation he’s made up in his head
@Popehat There is owned and then there is "A teenage girl hurt my feelings so badly that I ended up in Romanian prison". Jacob Wohl could never.
@mmasnick I have launched rockets into space, so I’m gonna be bold and say that this is bad.
