Ex-Met Dykstra indicted in bankruptcy case
LOS ANGELES -- Former Mets and Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra has been indicted by a federal grand jury in a bankruptcy fraud case.
The 48-year-old filed for bankruptcy in 2009, and is accused of later stealing and selling property from an $18.5-million estate.
Federal prosecutors brought 13 counts against Dykstra, including bankruptcy fraud, obstruction of justice, concealing property from the bankruptcy estate and other charges.
If found guilty on all charges, Dykstra faces a maximum of 80 years in prison.
Dykstra's attorney, Mark Werksman, said the case stems from a dispute with the bankruptcy trustee and no fraud was committed.
