Sonnenilla kohtalon päivä huomenna:
Money laundering controversy
Sonnen pled guilty to charges of money laundering in connection with mortgage fraud on January 3, 2011. The maximum sentence is 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine,[30] but as a result of his plea and agreeing to cooperate with the investigation into a ring of mortgage fraud, Sonnen is expected to receive two years probation, a $10,000 fine, and the revocation of his realtor license.[31] Sonnen, a licensed realtor in the State of Oregon, admitted that a financial transaction he conducted was designed to conceal or disguise the ownership and control of the proceeds of wire fraud.[32]
As the agent for a home sale, Sonnen told the title company to pay a plumbing company for repairs, even though he knew that they would not be carried out.[33] After the mortgage company agreed to the loan, the plumbing company was paid $69,000, and then the plumbing company, at Sonnen's direction, paid the home buyer $65,000.[34] Sentencing is expected to take place on March 28, 2011.
