As many have heard by now former Stormy Daniel attorney Michael Avenatti was just arrested on charges of trying to milk Nike out of more than $20 million.

The U.S. Attorneys offices in New York and Los Angeles separately filed charges against Avenatti, with the California case accusing him of embezzling a client’s money to cover his own debts, as well as using phony tax returns to obtain millions of dollars in loans from a bank.

Avenatti threatened to expose allegations of misconduct from Nike employees unless the apparel company paid him and an unnamed co-conspirator $22.5 million to “buy Avenatti’s silence,” the New York complaint said.

Now it turns out that Avenatti’s co-conspirator is none other than Mark Geragos, the celebrity attorney and CNN analyst, according to The Wall Street Journal. Geragos is also Jussie Smollet’s attorney.

Avenatti indictment describes his co-conspirator as a California attorney “similarly known for representation of celebrity and public figure clients.” That fits with Geragos. pic.twitter.com/CPzxTE6FtK — Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) March 25, 2019
