I feel bad about this

This guy already has enough bad press. But its just too hilarious....

Aleksey Vayner is a Uzbekistanian born student at Yale University. Apparently, he applied to a job at UBS by sending them a video of himself doing physical feats, such as bench pressing almost 500 pounds (says the weights), serving a tennis ball 140 MPH, ballroom dancing, breaking bricks with his bare hands, and skiing (though he admits that the footage of him skiing may not be him...). His resume claimed he was the CEO of an investment firm and that he ran a charitable organization that no one seems to have heard of...

Also, upon getting to Yale a few years ago, he told various students that he was "one of four people in the state of Connecticut qualified to handle nuclear waste", he was employed by the C.I.A. and Mafia as a youth, the Dalai Lama wrote his recommendation, he taught Harrison Ford, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jerry Seinfeld to play tennis, he must register his hands as lethal weapons at airports, and that he's killed at least two dozen men in Tibetan martial arts competitions.

His video is on YouTube (watch at least until the dancing) and he is suing everyone under the sun, including UBS for somehow leaking the video. The video has been mocked in the NY Times, Metro paper, on Fox News, the New York Post, The Sun, MarketWatch, US News & World Report, the New Yorker, and now, Wiki Karmel!
