His life in high finance includes street cred, too, at least for now.
CNBC personality Jim "Mad Money" Cramer hypes him as a stock guru.
That's like the financial kiss of death.

Even AIG wanted nothing to do with him.

Holy shit, Lenny is like a horrific douchemutant that combines every genre of douche imaginable. My favorite quote so far:
Quote
Asked if the ambitious design to provide a handful of specialty services for pro athletes is in place, Dykstra says confidently, "Have I got a 12-inch c---, or what? Of course, it is all in place.
It might not look like it, but everything I do is part of a plan.

My favorite part (again, so far) was how he tried to sneak in a contract clause that allowed Pete Incaviglia to manage a car wash.

Now that I think about it, its less of a Ponzi scheme, but one of the things Dykstra did was provide some notes for money due to him (which he had already forgiven as part of a prior 'deal gone bad') as supposed collateral for a future loan, which is a bad bad thing.
Also still have to respect the fact he robbed a Nigerian. He's helping to rebalance the balance of fraud.
That's what the

Poor Inky. You just know when they finally catch up with Dykstra and he's dead broke, Lenny's going to want to crash on Pete's couch.
"I was gonna make you a manager, man!"

Lenny probably bought Pete his million dollar house in the first place, bro.

Lesson learned here, thank the big guy you aren't a professional athlete. People always looking to take advantage of them, even family.

I say I’m looking for a leadership position at a growing publication and that The Players Club seems like the perfect fit. Lenny responds by showing me his watch.
“I don’t wear jewelry, except for this,” he says. “It’s the best in the world—costs sixty-five grand.”

The thing I remember most fondly about Lenny was that, at least once a season, he'd go back to the wall at Wrigley and somebody would dump a beer on him.

Lenny Dykstra is shady? You don't say.
I fondly remember Lenny routinely charging in on basehits up the middle and attempting to throw runners out at home, only to throw the ball 100mph into the ground about 6 feet in front of him.

If it wasn't a beltwatch, it's not the best.

Nobody can call Lenny a racist. He put three darkies and a bitch on his first four covers.
