Lenny Dykstra took a swinging action on Saturday against the ‘vultures’ who forced the billionaire Mets, owner Steve Cohen, to make his Twitter account valid amid the GameStop rumor.
“He should never have come on Twitter in the first place, it was just a matter of time until the vultures started circling,” the former Mets center fielder known as ‘Nails’ told The Post.
The billionaire co-owner said “personal threats” unrelated to the team forced him to deactivate his account for the time being. Cohen’s hedge fund, Point 72, offered Melvin Capital a $ 750 million bailout, losing billions on bets against stocks like GameStop in a so-called short press orchestrated by amateur investors on Reddit.
“It’s just a paper loss – a bunch of Reddit ps – who think they’re smarter when everyone will eventually hand over their F-ing Dk to them!” Dykstra said. “The man with the gold always makes the rules.”
Dykstra continues: “NOTHING TO LOSE EVERYTHING WINS.”
The former MLBer also nailed Redditors: a bunch of punks, it’s not our fault they were last selected in their small league team. ‘
The smaller league investors said they were not backing down – and even took out billboards in Times Square and across the country, urging believers to hold the stock to rise even higher.
