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!
