Felons like him helped spur the problem in the mortgage industry which put a lot of people out of there homes. Now he is working in another industry, conveniently "selling" things again. What about the people he cons out of thousands of dollars who can't get out of their training contracts? Oh, let's not worry about them because he has to make money. Crooks should be in jail where they can't steal from the innocent. A crook is a crook. Felons should not be convicted while working at a job and promoted into management. No wonder why America is going broke. What ever happened to making an HONEST living?
Here is the story. Sales and crooks are like oil and water, in less of course, you work for Lifetime Fitness.
Dublin Man Pleads Guilty To Filing False Tax Returns

A Dublin man pleads guilty to two counts of willfully filing a false federal income tax return with the IRS.
John C. Shonkwiler, 41, faces a maximum prison sentence of three years and a fine of up to $100, 000.
In addition, his plea agreement requires Shonkwiler to file a correct and accurate federal income tax return for the tax years 2004 through 2009.
According to court documents, during the years 2004 through 2006 Shonkwiler was employed at State Street Mortgage, also known as Platinum Mortgage, as a loan originator. Many of the real estate transactions with which Shonkwiler was associated included kick-back funds from the sellers that were undisclosed to lenders and not included on the HUD-1 settlement statements. These funds, together with certain interest income, loan commissions and loan origination fees that Shonkwiler also received through his employment, he intentionally omitted from his income tax returns for those years.
Shonkwiler reported $60, 522 in total income on his 2005 federal income tax return, but his actual total income was $525, 685. He reported $199, 309 in total income on his 2006 federal income tax return, but his actual total income was $362, 883. As a result of this willful activity, Shonkwiler failed to pay $194, 850 in income taxes to the IRS for 2004, 2005 and 2006 income tax years.
"To build faith in our nation's tax system, honest taxpayers need to be reassured that everyone is paying their fair share, " said Jose A. Gonzalez, Special Agent in Charge, IRS, Criminal Investigation. "The IRS-Criminal Investigation Division, together with the U.S. Attorney's Office will investigate and prosecute those who violate our tax system."

It is a shame this Lifetime Fitness company ruins the fitness industry for many honest gyms.
It also gives personal trainer bad reputations. After reading this review I am scared to walk into these gyms. It looks like they care about one thing, money.
