Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Lenny Dykstra , a three-time major league All-Star outfielder who played for the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies , was indicted Friday for bankruptcy fraud for allegedly selling items from his $ 18 million mansion in Ventura County , a federal prosecutor said . Lenny Kyle Dykstra , 48 , of Murrieta , California , was charged with 13 counts : bankruptcy fraud , obstruction of justice , four counts of concealing property from the bankruptcy estate , three counts of embezzlement from the bankruptcy estate , and four counts of making false declarations to bankruptcy court , according to a statement from spokesman Thom Mrozek of the U.S. Attorney 's office in Los Angeles . Last month , Dykstra was arrested and charged with bankruptcy fraud , and he was released on $ 150,000 bond and ordered to seek outpatient substance abuse treatment . The indictment is the result of conduct Dykstra allegedly engaged in after filing a bankruptcy case on July 7 , 2009 , Mrozek said . If convicted on all charges , Dkystra could face up to 80 years in prison , Mrozek said . After filing for bankruptcy protection , Dykstra allegedly `` looted '' his Sherwood Estates mansion in Thousand Oaks , California , lied about who stripped the mansion , and denied receiving money for having sold items that were owned by the bankruptcy estate , Mrozek said . According to court documents , an attorney hired by the bankruptcy trustee estimates that Dykstra stole and destroyed more than $ 400,000 worth of property in the estate . Among the property that Dykstra allegedly stole were silver- and gold-plated door knobs , gold fixtures , a grandfather clock , two desks , a chair , a Maitland-Smith dresser , chandeliers , electronic equipment , artwork , a stove and a framed piece of sports memorabilia about him , according to the indictment . The former member of a New York Mets World Series champion team was arrested last month on what police said was suspicion of fraudulent auto purchases . His attorney , Mark Werksman , characterized the case last month as `` a scorched-earth bankruptcy proceeding '' and blamed the auto-related accusations as a `` vendetta '' by former caretakers . But the U.S. bankruptcy trustee for the central district of California , Peter C. Anderson , described the allegations in Dykstra 's case as `` egregious . '' `` The bankruptcy-related conduct charged in the indictment constitutes an egregious abuse of the bankruptcy system and will not be tolerated , '' Anderson said in a statement . The 13-count indictment supersedes a criminal complaint filed last month , officials said . In the bankruptcy filing , Dykstra listed assets of $ 24.6 million and overall debts of $ 37.1 million . Among the assets he listed are two residences : a Ventura County mansion in Lake Sherwood Estates that he purchased from Janet and Wayne Gretzky , which he estimated was worth $ 18.5 million ; and a home in Westlake Village that he estimated was worth $ 5.4 million . As a result of the bankruptcy filing , the residences and Dykstra 's personal property became part of the bankruptcy estate that would be used to pay off creditors . Even though Dykstra was prohibited from liquidating any part of the estate , authorities alleged last month that he admitted in a bankruptcy hearing that he arranged the sale of sports memorabilia and furniture that were part of the estate . Dykstra 's professional baseball career began in 1985 when he was drafted by the New York Mets at the age of 22 . A year later , Dykstra hit a lead-off home run in Game 3 of the World Series at Boston 's Fenway Park , after the Mets had lost the first two games . That spark rallied the Mets to a seven-game Series victory over the Boston Red Sox . He was traded in 1989 to Philadelphia , where the rest of his career was marked by successes as well as injuries , brawls and allegations of steroid use that he has denied . He earned the nickname `` Nails '' for his tenacity and confrontations on the field . By the time he retired , Dykstra had earned $ 36.5 million from major league baseball , according to the website baseball-reference.com . After retirement , Dykstra moved to California and started a profitable luxury car wash that he called The Taj Mahal . He expanded the business throughout Southern California and in 2007 sold it to investors , according to bankruptcy filings . As a self-taught financial analyst , Dykstra proclaimed himself a financial guru and began writing a stock-picking website column . His prominence soared as a sports celebrity , entrepreneur and popular guest on numerous financial news broadcasts . In 2008 , Dykstra began publishing the Players Club , a glossy financial advice magazine exclusively for pro athletes to help them with wealth management and investment banking . His purchase of the palatial Gretzy estate in 2007 for $ 14 million occurred a few months before the mortgage market collapsed . By the time Dykstra filed for bankruptcy in July 2009 , he had accumulated loans totaling $ 21 million , bankruptcy records show . The bankruptcy case is still ongoing . Dykstra has listed his only income as a $ 5,700 monthly pension from Major League Baseball , records show .
