High-profile attorney Mark Geragos—who has represented the likes of Colin Kaepernick, Jussie Smollett, and the late singer Michael Jackson—was named as a co-conspirator to attorney Michael Avenatti after he was arrested in Manhattan for allegedly trying to extort millions from Nike, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“The co-conspirator in that matter is attorney Mark Geragos, two people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Geragos couldn’t immediately be reached for comment,” the WSJ reported on March 25.
