Lenny Dykstra came out swinging on Saturday at the “vultures” who forced billionaire Mets owner Steve Cohen to bank his Twitter account amid the GameStop uproar.
“He should never have gotten on Twitter at all, it was just a matter of time before the vultures started circling,” the former Mets midfielder known as “Nails” told The Post.
The billionaire met the owner said “personal threats” unrelated to the team forced him to deactivate his account for the time being. Cohen’s hedge fund, Point 72, provided a lifeline of $ 750 million to Melvin Capital, which lost billions in bets on stocks like GameStop in a so-called short squeeze orchestrated by amateur investors on Reddit.
“It’s just a paper loss – a bunch of Reddit p-ers who think they’re smarter than everyone else will end up getting their F-ing Dk!” Dykstra said. “The man with the gold always makes the rules.”
Dykstra continued: “NOTHING TO LOSE EVERYTHING.”
The ex-MLBer has also nailed Redditors: “Bunch of punks, it’s not our fault they were chosen last on their small league team.”
The minor league investors have said they won’t back down – even pulling out billboards in Times Square and around the country urging the faithful to hold on to the stock to get it even higher.
