As you may have heard, Lenny Dykstra is currently sitting in jail on bankruptcy fraud charges. The man once named investor of the century by Jim Cramer could prepare for his upcoming trial in the company of wherever he’s crashing these days but no one has stepped up to the plate to cover the cash portion of his bail, $50,000 in cash (the collateral of $500,000 to secure the bond is in the bag). Want to do your part to bust him out? Want to bust him out without anyone knowing you helped (no names: Jim). Now you can.
Someone with a soft spot for LD has set up a PayPal to raise the funds. Whip out your card and pledge as little as a dollar today. The sooner he gets out, the sooner he can get his strength, win this thing and getting back to winning it.
Update: It appears Nails, Tweeting from prison, has thrown his support to the fundraiser:

I’d be more than happy to put up my 1997 Toyota Corolla to help out the man who gave me some great trading tips.
Step 1: Start a Dealbreaker Defense fund for LD.
Step 2: Post his bail
Step 3: Bess takes legal custody of LD in the DB office
Step 4: 24 hour surveillance via live stream webcam
Step 5: Twizzlers and Hookers
Step 6: ?????
Step 7: Profit
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
You mean there was no news column in The Players Club on how to get/stay out of jail?

Welcome to Dealbreaker Mr. Ivan Boesky!
Because it’s funny. If you’re looking for tips on how to trade your money in this market, proceed to yahoo! fiance and kill yourself.
It’s NOT “someone with a soft spot” who set up the site– it’s Lenny himself who set up that website. Do a simple “WHOIS” search on the domain “savelenny.com” and you’ll find that it’s owned by Nails Investments, which is the *investment* company Lenny owns.
Also, beware: Lenny’s been accused of mis-using peoples’ credit cards in the past, meaning that if you sign up to donate, say, $1, you may find that he’ll end up maxing-out your credit card for all that you’re worth.
Never traded currency and been up every month for the last 14 years – now at least we know you are obviously an idiot.
