Submitted by webadmin on

Federal prosecutors said that former New York Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra, who pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud in July, should be sentenced to 30 months in prison, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. Dykstra pleaded guilty in July to looting valuables from his $18 million mansion north of Los Angeles and secretly selling them after his bankruptcy filing in 2009. He admitted to one count each of bankruptcy fraud, concealment of bankruptcy property and money laundering. On top of the bankruptcy charges, the former Major League Baseball player was convicted last year for trying to lease cars using phony business cards and credit information and is now serving three years in state prison.
