Accountant Sues Lenny Dykstra for Payment of $100,000 Bill for Preparing His 2006 Tax Returns

A Manhattan CPA firm (DDK & Co. LLC) has sued former baseball star Lenny Dykstra for refusing to pay its $111,097 bill for preparing his 2006 tax returns.  Dykstra responded to press inquiries:

Did they actually think I would pay that much for a tax return?  That’s insane. … I looked at [the bill]. I laughed.  Somebody trying to charge $120,000 for a tax return and can’t even file it on time, they’ve got some problem.  Now they’re going to get exposed.  My attorney [Daniel Petrocelli], he said he thought it was a typo when he saw the bill.

The lawsuit claims that the $111,097 bill "is fair and reasonable and is in accordance with the terms and provisions of the [February 2007] retainer agreement."  See New York Daily News coverage here and here.  (Hat Tip:  Jim Maule.)
