Dykstra In Trouble Again

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Matthew Stockwell

Lenny Dykstra pled no contest to charges of motor vehicle theft and providing a false financial statement yesterday in Los Angeles. In exchange, a host of charges were dismissed, and Dykstra faces up to 4 years in prison when he is sentenced in January. Dykstra and friends allegedly leased high-end vehicles from several dealerships by submitting fraudulent information. 

Dykstra's problems are not over, however. In addition to the upcoming sentencing in January, he also faces federal bankruptcy fraud charges for allegedly selling sports memorabilia and other items belonging to his estate while his bankruptcy was pending.  Dykstra, a self-proclaimed stock and financial counseling star who was even endorsed by Jim Cramer as a stock picking "genius," may be providing financial advice to fellow prisoners soon.
