again, Avenatti was using leaked suspicious transaction reports (leak now being investigated by treasury's OIG) and the leaker slipped in some false reports from another guy named Michael Cohen.
granted, some of the other transactions were the right michael cohen, but some of them werent:

Avenatti’s report includes a section listing “possible fraudulent and illegal financial transactions” involving Trump’s lawyer. One of the payments is a $4,250 wire transfer from a Malaysian company called Actuarial Partners to a bank in Toronto.
The other is a $980 transfer from a Kenyan bank to Bank Hapoalim, the largest bank in Israel.
Zainal Kassim, a representative for Actuarial Partners, tells The Daily Caller News Foundation that Avenatti’s report is a case of mistaken identity. He forwarded an email that the falsely accused Michael Cohen sent to Avenatti requesting that the lawyer “correct this error forthwith and make it known publicly” that there is no connection to Trump’s Michael Cohen. “You are surely aware of the fact that this is an extremely common name and would request that you take care before involving innocent parries in this sordid affair,” wrote Cohen, who told Avenatti that he is an international consultant who was paid by Actuarial Partners for work on a project in Tanzania. “Actuarial Partners have already received inquiries from the press in this regard and we would like to see this scurrilous rumour spiked as soon as possible.”
Haaretz, the Israeli news outlet, found another case of mistaken identity in Avenatti’s report. “Mr. Cohen received one wire transfer in the amount of $980.00 from a Kenyan bank from account holders Netanel Cohen and Stav Hayun to an account in Israel at Bank Hapoalim,” Avenatti wrote. Haaretz caught up with Netanel Cohen, who acknowledged having a bank account in Kenya and transferring money to a Michael Cohen. But the Michael Cohen in questions is his brother, Netanel told the news outlet. And his brother is not Trump’s lawyer. “I’ve never heard of Michael Cohen, and I have no connection to this affair,” Netanel told Haaretz.
This is what happens when fucking clowns are running around conducting illegal electronic surveillance.
