Lenny Dykstra came out on Saturday against the “vultures” who forced billionaire Mets owner Steve Cohen to fund his Twitter account amid the GameStop turmoil.
“He should never have accessed Twitter in the first place, it was only a matter of time before the vultures started to circulate,” the former Mets field player known as “Nails” told the Post.
The billionaire mets owner said “personal threats” unrelated to the team have forced him to disable his account for now. Cohen’s hedge fund, Point 72, offered a $ 750 million lifeline to Melvin Capital, which lost billions in stock bets like GameStop in a so-called short squeeze orchestrated by amateur investors on Reddit.
“It’s just a loss on paper – a bunch of Reddit p-people who think they’re smarter than everyone else will end up getting their F-ing Dk delivered to them!” Dykstra said. “The man with the gold always dictates the rules.”
Dykstra continued: “NOTHING TO EARN EVERYTHING TO LOSE.”
The former MLBer also hit the Redditors: “Bunch of punks, it’s not our fault that they were chosen last on their children’s league team.
Investors in the smaller leagues said they would not back down – and even removed billboards in Times Square and across the country, asking the faithful to continue with the actions to push them even higher.
