Former outfielder for the New York Mets, Lenny Dykstra, has pleaded guilty to three charges of bankruptcy fraud in Los Angeles. Dykstra was accused of not disclosing all of his assets during his 2009 filing.

The former baseball player could possibly face up to 20 years behind bars for money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, and concealment of assets. In his bankruptcy application, he listed $31 million in liabilities and only $50,000 in assets. However, prosecutors say he illegally sold, hid, or destroyed $400,000 worth of property.

The Sacramento Bee reports that Dykstra was also accused of lying while under oath about what he did with his assets. He is currently in prison for grand theft auto, providing a false financial statement, and indecent exposure.
