Former Mets star Dykstra sentenced for federal bankruptcy fraud
(MCT) — LOS ANGELES — Already serving a three-year state prison sentence for auto theft, former New York Mets star Lenny Dykstra was sentenced to an additional 6 ½ months on Monday for federal bankruptcy fraud.
Dykstra, who helped the New York Mets win the 1986 World Series, had pleaded guilty to looting his mansion of valuables before creditors could liquidate them. The defendant, who reportedly scuffled with Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies when he was arrested in April, has racked up numerous criminal charges since his financial empire began to crumble in 2009.
