Don’t get us wrong. We know where our bread is buttered. But, that said, there seems to be a lot of piling on going on. For instance:
George Griffith of the trustee’s office said Dykstra signed a “real property questionnaire under penalty of perjury,” claiming insurance on the mansion did not expire until December. But the court filing says that on the very day Dykstra signed the document, July 14, the insurance was cancelled “for failure to pay.”
“Undoubtedly, the debtor had received prior notices that the insurance would be cancelled if the premium was not paid,” the filing said, calling Dykstra’s actions “dishonest.”
Perhaps we’re just being difficult, but it occurs to us that the policy “expiring” is not at all the same as the policy laboring under the constant risk of termination for non-payment. Of course, we only have CNBC doing translation for us here, so it is hard to tell, but when you are digging through the semantics in this kind of disclosure to try and force a Chapter 7 liquidation, you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Sure, we suppose it is possible that what Lenny really penned on pain of perjury was more along the lines of “…and furthermore, there are absolutely no issues that might threaten, or cause outright, a lapse of insurance coverage at any time during the bankruptcy process….” That seems… thin.
Baseball Great Dykstra Could Face Liquidation [CNBC]
Funny thing about Nails is that what he’s going through, he didn’t even have to get a CFA and run a book / cover TMT etc. I know plenty of guys who did that, and are now pretty much right there alongside the man who once said, “I’m not an athlete, I’m a baseball player.”
DB should start a fund in his honor.
Baseball “great”? maybe under the same standard as Jim Cramer who labeled him one of the “greats in this business” (finance). Great scammer? That I would agree with.
@1 John Kruk said that, not Lenny.
Suck my dick and flick my clit!

can somebody here get some data on the GS lawsuit by that russian jew engineer guy?
@5 – Stay thirsty my friend.
Anyone have the 1st year bankrupt ex-baseball player numbers?

Seriously, WTF is this sh*t?
Some random, old, beaten to death story from Bloomberg or WSJ, with some overlong, unfunny comment, riddled with spelling mistakes, no less.
Gawd, this is AWFUL. Are you guys deliberately trying to run this place to the ground?
please. someone post pictures from last week’s FmF event.
@Seaman – It would appear that Sergey Aleynikov has filed a subpoena in an effort to get at some of GS’s goodies.

Hope this tides you over.
thx Tax Chick
DB should let the peanut gallery just take over the site – would work better
reread Moneyball last weekend. nails is priceless. only about 10 pages with him and he’s still priceless.
@Seaman Agreed. I don’t know why I feel compelled to sit and read to the coma patient, but I do….

Allow me some pedantry about your use of the verb “file”.
You file a lawsuit. But you SERVE a subpoena. Even if you’re Russian.
@Not
My bad. Pure sloppiness on my part. I had started to type about GS’s motion for summary judgment (which we agree is a document that is filed). I then decided to cut the editorializing down and in my haste pulled a Greg.
Three Years of Porno films would suffice to cover this. With a name like “Nails”, he couldn’t possible miss. After that article on private jets, I’m thinking his “IPO” could be a debut feature entitled “Mile High Club.”
I’d hit that.
Sir Allen
why the fuck would you reread Moneyball ?
Just because the warden is away doesn’t mean you let the inmates run the insane asylum. Even if things are bad, letting the peanut gallery run things would be a sign of the impending end of the world.
@21- or an ongoing devolution into Clusterstock.
@21 – We are there. DB posters have resorted to torturing the writers on Going Concern. I hate to see what tomorrow brings.
@3, you are correct.
Dykstra played on the 1993 Phillies, perhaps the most addled baseball team in history. In hindsight, the only sane person on the team was taking drugs for Tourette Syndrome.
Someone even nuttier than Dykstra? Check out the catcher: http://www.dutch2012.com/
@Tax Chick
Thankfully the numbers ran out, and I’m pretty sure a life ending solar flare is about to strike earth and kill us all. All because Bess went of vacation. Se La Vi.

Dickstra is the biggest fucking asshole that ever was or ever will be. He has syphillis (no-joke!) that has rotted his mind and that’s why he doesn’t give a fuck or two shits about himself or his family. The guy who mentioned the “porno flicks” is not off-base; Lenny has lowered himself to associate with known pornographers who are supposedly fueling him with drugs ( no shit!). JACKO- HERE HE COMES!
