    Chael pleads guilty in money laundering case

    It looks like we might not see Chael Sonnen for a while after all.

    An Oregon real estate agent has pleaded guilty to money laundering in connection with a mortgage fraud case involving Vancouver-based Lighthouse Financial Group, which also did business under the name Crown Point Financial Services.

    Chael Sonnen, 33, of West Linn, Ore., entered the plea Monday in U.S. District Court in Portland. He will be sentenced March 28. The maximum sentence is 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

    According to a news release, Sonnen acted as the real estate agent in a transaction involving a home in Portland, and submitted a false letter and sales agreement instructing the title company to disburse $69,000 to a contractor for plumbing repairs. However, in a deal arranged by Lighthouse employees, $65,000 of the money was actually kicked back to the buyer.

    Federal prosecutors allege that two Lighthouse employees, Joel Rosabal and Chadwick Amsden, submitted the false loan application to a now-defunct subprime lender.

    Here is another:

    Chael Sonnen, an ultimate fighting champion and one-time candidate for a seat in Congress, has pleaded to a federal money laundering charge.

    A licensed Realtor from West Linn, Sonnen admitted before a judge Monday that he conducted a financial transaction designed to hide or disguise the ownership and control of proceeds of mortgage fraud, according to a U.S. Department of Justice press release.

    The development is the latest during a rough stretch for Sonnen.

    The UFC middleweight is suspended from fighting after reportedly testing positive for drugs in late 2010.

    Sonnen had dropped out of the race for House District 37 last June citing a 2006 “legal issue” demanding his attention.

    After he bowed out, the Republican party chose Julie Parrish, a political newcomer from West Linn, to replace Sonnen in the race against Democrat Will Rasmussen, a lawyer from West Linn. Parrish won election as House 37’s representative in November.

    Marcus Williams, a special agent in charge of IRS criminal investigations for the Pacific Northwest, issued a public statement about Sonnen’s case.

    “West Linn residents, and other residents throughout the Portland-Vancouver area, can rest assured knowing that federal law enforcement agencies take mortgage fraud very seriously because it played a major role in almost crippling this nation’s banking system just a few years ago,” he said.

    Money laundering carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

    Sonnen’s sentencing is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. March 28.
    This is obviously why he dropped out of the House race.

      If he goes to prison he'll find out the difference in real fighting and sport fighting.

          He may be fighting again before that though. I read where someone said that his sentencing was supposed to be after a rumor'd fight with Akiyama...but I didn't post that up because it didn't sound like a legit article

                I think he got 2 years probation and a fine.

                  Yeah, I think he sold out his partners (one of which was a business owned by his mother) to get off easier. He is trash....period!!

                    Chael Sonnen's fall from grace continues. Yesterday, reports surfaced that Sonnen plead guilty to mortgage fraud that he committed in 1996. While it appears he will escape without jail time, it looks like the UFC won't be so lenient. TMZ Sports reports:

                    UFC president Dana White tells us Sonnen's contract has been temporarily "frozen."

                    But White isn't turning his back on one of his most famous fighters -- Dana tells us, "Chael Sonnen has gone through a lot in the last few months and we think it's important for him to focus on getting his personal life together before focusing on his career in the UFC."

                    White adds, "I spoke with Chael earlier today and he agrees that setting priorities in his life is the best thing for him right now. I sincerely hope Chael is able to straighten out his personal life."
                    Well, there goes the akiyama fight
