this is why sonnen is a fool. He talks so much trash about others now look at him. gets caught taking steroids then busted for this.
Big deal!! This is business as usual for realtors and the mortgage industry......thousands of deals like this take place every week. The fact that it is a felony is also no big deal......felonies are a dime a dozen...jaywalking is a felony in some jurisdictions....and I am not even a Sonnen fan.
The charge against Sonnen stems from the June 2006 sale of a home at 11249 S.E. Rolling Hills Lane in Portland. The lender, Decision One Mortgage, agreed to send more than $69,000 of the loan proceeds to a company called Crown Plumbing, a company owned by Sonnen's mother, for some repair work on the house. The repair work was never done. Instead, the money went as a kickback to the straw buyer of the house. Straw buyers were a common phenomenon during the housing boom. Mortgage scammers typically recruited individuals willing to serve as front-men and women and would secure a loan for a home with a falsified loan application. They would then use various means to skim money off the top of the transaction.
i think the dude is a dick, he chats alot of **** and with this and him failing the drug test he looks like a *****.
Wow to think only couple of months ago he was minutes away from becoming a ufc champion. :-( Now he's proly gonna be locked up for a while. Good thing he knows how to fight.
He's probably not going to prison. Its a plea bargain and the local papers are reporting that the government is recommending a sentence of two years probation.
