In the Johnson theft, the indictment alleges, Avenatti received $4 million from Los Angeles County to settle the paraplegic’s suit over his treatment at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility. Johnson, who was suicidal, jumped twice from an upper floor of the jail, injuring himself so badly the second time that he can never walk again, according to the suit.
