Pro Skater's $$$$$ Embezzled By CFO!

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > MTV > Zportz > Legal Matters

wenn2522677sheck.jpg

The chief financial officer for pro skateboarder and star of MTV's Life of Ryan, Ryan Sheckler, has been arrested and charged for embezzling over $365,000 from Sheckler!!!

Matthew Mercuro is currently being held on $400,000 bail in Huntington Beach after being accused of "having access to the accounts of the two businesses, Ryan Sheckler Rips LLC and Sheckler Merch 2 LL… [and] embezzling over $365,000 from these companies by transferring money from the corporate accounts into personal accounts and the account of his wife and a friend."

The douche was caught when "suspicious transfers" were reported in a financial review of one of the 19-year-old skater's companies.

Dumb!

The Huntington Beach PD is currently investigating the case, with Mercuro due to be arraigned on Tuesday. If found guilty, Sheckler's financial officer could serve up to six years and eight months in a state prison.

Throw the book at him!

    what the fuck is wrong with his elbow??????



  7. 7

    Why the hell does his elbow look like that?



  8. 8

    Hey Mario, how many times have you jerked off to his picture before posting this story?

    Man, Ryan is so fucking hot !!! I'd do definitely do him.

    I hope the judge orders restitution in the criminal trial instead of leaving Ryan to sue for damages in a civil case. Let him get him $$ back.

    With all these rip offs being reported, makes you wonder how many more accountants actually get away with it. Is it taught in their school?

    where were his parents?



  11. 11

    these money crimes make me so upset…

    if a man rapes a woman, we're lucky if he gets probation let alone a few months in jail. But if he steals a bunch of money, he gets 6 years???

    It really shows where our priorities are in society and what we consider to have the most value…

    HOTTIE



  42. 42

    Skateboarders get that puffy elbow due to falling on it with or without pads. Usually it's without. When you fall on your elbow consistently it swells into this hard mass. It usually goes down after a few days. I know this, cause my husband is a skateboarder.

    But hell yes, Sheckler's freaking HOT.



  43. 43

    wow he's soo cute. He looks like Paul Walker…so hott!!

    Why do people trust other people with their money? No, no, no. If you make good coin being good at something, take the time to learn how to be good with your own money management. Look at Nic Cage. Same damn thing. Sayonara to this $365,000 probably, AND Sheckler will be on the hook for the taxes anyway.
