Orange County, Californa tax liens also show that the lawyer owes at least $1.2 million in federal taxes. And, according to civil court filings, Avenatti continued to live a luxurious life full of jet-setting and car racing with international royalty while maintaining these outstanding debts, The Daily Beast reported.

“None of those obligations are my responsibility,” he said, according to the news site.
