Chino, Calif. — Federal agents have seized a $4.5 million private jet co-owned by Michael Avenatti as the embattled mouthpiece’s tax fraud scandal heats up.
The warrant ordering the seizure of the Honda HA-420 twin-engine jet was served by the US Attorney’s Office on Wednesday morning, spokesman Thom Mrozek confirmed to Fox News.
Avenatti’s years of alleged tax evasion were revealed late last month when the former-attorney for aging porn star Stormy Daniels was charged in New York with trying to extort $25 million from Nike, as well as embezzling from a client in a separate case in California.
The federal charges against Avenatti have further exposed alleged tax fraud dating back a decade.
“Federal authorities have seized a jet co-owned by Mr. Avenatti pursuant to a seizure warrant issued by a federal judge. This seizure is related to the pending criminal case in Los Angeles,” said a federal official.
The 48-year-old has been accused by the IRS of failing to pay tax on millions of dollars in personal income and through his firm, while splashing hundreds of thousands on fast cars, opulent watches and exorbitant rent payments.
Avenatti’s plane was originally scheduled to be flown Wednesday to Orange County, but pilots had to file a new flight plan to San Bernardino County.
The six-seat business jet was flown by a private contract pilot to Chino Municipal Airport, where it is being held by Threshold Aviation.

Would not surprise me to learn that one day soon he takes a lead pill. Too arrogant to go to Jail he will look for the easy way out.
He is stupid if he tries to kill himself with lead. Lead is a cumulative effect poison, a one-time dose will only upset his tummy. I think you were thinking a cyanide pill which kills almost immediately. I think he will try to flee the jurisdiction myself, the Cayman Islands doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the States. I personally hope Michael Avenatti gets sent to the toughest federal prison in the country and gets forced into airtight and anal nightly by his fellow prisoners. Don’t drop the soap and I hope you hate the feel of jumbo dick in your ass and the taste of cum (and are forced to swallow gallons of the stuff in federal prison), Michael. I also hope you get AIDS, herpes, syphilis, both varieties of the clap, HPV of the voice box, all five strains of hepatitis and a chronic sore throat from swallowing copious amounts of cum, Michael. Enjoy “sucking” all that gang banger cock. What an arrogant bastard and go suck Marc Wallice’s AIDS dick!
