Nails Gets Nailed
According to ESPN:
LOS ANGELES — Former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra has been charged with embezzling from a bankruptcy estate.
Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles allege that after filing for bankruptcy in 2009, Dykstra hid, sold or destroyed more than $400,000 worth of items from his $18.5 million mansion in Ventura County. They ranged from sports memorabilia to a $50,000 sink.
Dykstra claimed he owed more than $31 million and had only $50,000 in assets.
I mean really…
When Lenny was playing ball, which future description of him would you have believed:
- that he had turned into a stock-picks guru, or
- that he hid, sold or destroyed more than $400,000 worth of items from his $18.5 million mansion in Ventura County?
I’d have picked number 2.
It’s no wonder our country hit the skids financially. If your choice for stock-picks guru was Lenny Dykstra, wouldn’t you have been better off putting your money in your mattress?
And here’s the thing: Lenny filed bankruptcy forgoing $31M in debt and then did $400K worth of damage and theft? That’s just plain scummy.
