PrintYou've gotta be f*cking kidding me. Remember when Chael was talking mess about the federal government looking into him well now we know why.
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.

Whoa
Has this reached a point where the UFC will have to part ways with Chael?
And what the hell is he going to say about this? Will he break character?
Good quesion. Zuffa really likes their gaming license so they may have no other choice.

A white-collar crime that nobody on earth will give two shits about considering this was 4 years ago I doubt will hurt too much. Hell nobody even talks about Carwins steroid past. Ignore an old problem and it goes away.
Sonnen already reached a plea deal and is paying a small fine. Big whoop. I cant wait to see him bustup Akiyama
Nobody talks about the Carwin stuff because they’re hacks.

So he’s cheating in TWO professions? Where does he find the time? I feel like a real slacker right about now.

So a white-collar crime that doesnt harm a single person is what did it for you? Tucker Carlson is that you?
white-collar crime that doesnt harm a single person
I’m sure the owners of the title company would disagree.

Certainly not up in arms, I just think the guy’s made himself look like an idiot, with this and the whole steroid thing. As for Carwin he didnt fool me when he tested positive, I guarantee he never sniffs a title again. Unless he roids again, and even then prolly not. The name BRUTAL MOVEMENT is the name of my band, it has nothing to do with MMA.

If I ever get into trouble i’m going to have to call up Sonnen’s lawyers because they’ve gotten him out of 2 big messes.
Anyways I love how some people are trying to reach to somehow combine both cases, I know hate blinds but that’s a level of reaching that Mr. Fantastic couldn’t duplicate.
But that’s to be expected, hopefully now that Sonnen has gotten this behind him he can focus on doing what he does best and that’s fight. He still owes Anderson Silva another beating and he’s not getting any younger, time for the Oregon OG to get back to work.

It wasn’t roids it was wrestling, but i’m sure you’ll cling to that and the “rib” injury as excuses to justify what happened. That’s the funny thing about it, it seems the only people who forgot he lost is the Silva fans who are the only one’s making excuses about it.
