From the story:
…(the suit alleges) Dykstra began shirking his financial obligations to Doubledown beginning in late 2007 and continuing into 2008, repeatedly driving up expenses and increasing the overall costs of the publications at a time when he, on information and belief, lacked the cash to pay for such expenses."..
Nothing new for The Dude to bite off more than he can chew…Deadspin notes he PRSENTED an award at the Ellies (national magazine awards) last night….And he was, of course, colorful:
From the story:
That the magazine is in lawsuit limbo after only one issue didn't stop a muzzy-seeming Dykstra …presenting the award for personal service, he boasted, "Next year, I'll be back up here, winning this award, because Nails never fails!"

[ ] A man accused of robbing a Doylestown bank sorta says “It wasn’t me”…even though prosecutors say his face is “clearly captured” on surveillance video. (Intelligencer)
From the story:
Doylestown police Lt. Mike Cummings testified that Andrew Potter said yes when asked if he robbed Citizens Bank, at 539 N. Main St. on Dec. 24, and the PNC in the Doylestown Shopping Center on Jan. 23, during an interview in Philadelphia where he was arrested.
Court records show Potter did not explain details about the robberies but told police the pictures “could not be denied.”
