Or an extra-special "Separated at Birth".
According to The Shepherd Express, former baseballer Lenny Dykstra is now accepting clients for his investment advice - at $999 per year. In a Wall Street Journal report, Dykstra states that he is "not a registered financial adviser...his proven track record has caught the attention of many".
Really? Watch this preview of a The World According to Lenny. If you take any advice from this guy, you're whacked.
Lenny (above) today. He's only 1 1/2 years older than me and he looks like he's in his late 50's.
Dykstra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2009 to allude more than 20 lawsuits brought against him for his financial and other entrepreneurial ventures that went sour. A judge denied Dykstra this request, instead converting the case to Chapter 7 liquidation. He's completely ruined multiple homes (one formerly belonging to Wayne Gretzky), charged with drunk driving, named in the Mitchell Report for using steroids, accused of sexual harrassment, sold his 1986 Mets World Series ring to pay off his $31 million debt (right - help pay off), his wife is suing him for divorce and his mansion is in foreclosure. His brothers have both accused him of fraud. It's even reported he Dykstra defrauded his own mother.
I wouldn't give this guy a penny for his thoughts. Oh...I forgot. I have include Dykstra in a "Separated at Birth" blog post...
