if you don't know the story behind this clown, ask one of your banking friends. i'm sure his notorious email must've rounded all the banks by now.
And, I know you frequent this forum, JC. goes to show you how small the Street is.

I'll post it tomorrow morning if noone does by then.
Dude (from UT Business Program) is honestly done.
Every bank, consulting firm, and buyside shop has a copy of the email now.
Prime example of why you don't fucking lie during the recruiting process.
Key points from the email:
- He MANUFACTURED a BofA-ML full-time offer email and sent it to Morgan Stanley as leverage.
- He threw a bitch fit with the traveling department of a firm regarding wanting to stay at the Four Seasons. His rudeness was so bad that the travel agent reported his behavior to HR.
EVERY firm on the Street now has a copy of the email as well as a resume.
Game Over.

by b2Seems as if this kid has always been scum.
Some just dug this up for me:
-----
"So during winter 2007-2008, Merrill Lynch has a four week long internship.
It invites five interns. They shall go unnamed except for Jeffrey Chiang. Jeffrey Chiang is a student at the University of Texas at Austin and formerly interned at Goldman Sachs. *I am not one of the interns*. I have no proof of this, and all I have is my word.
Internship: cold calls, generate sales lead. A large part of the internship included cold calling and selling some of ML's products to them. This selling part also included getting their email for newsletters.
What Jeffrey Chiang did: instead of calling, he sat there all day. Then, to prove his worth, he made up emails such as... charlie@gmail.com
Well, what about bounceback (when an email is sent and returned because the address does not exist?). Well.. Jeffrey Chiang, although unethical, is quite smart. He pressured the person typing the emails in not to type his.
Basically, everyday when Jeffrey Chiang turned in his sheets containing emails, none of the emails were typed in, but to the supervisors, it appeared as if Jeffrey was contributing.
It gets even better. When Jeffrey Chiang's practices were finally uncovered, a quick call to all the interns and database check showed he was guilty. Nonetheless, he vehemently denied his actions. Even though he blatantly admitted them to the other interns.
The next day, Jeffrey attempted to bribe one of the interns to keep his mouth shut. $20 for not saying anything. I think the look on the intern's face summarized the intern's reply.
Today, Friday, is the last day of the internship. Several are still there. I, obviously, am not. I have decided to let the world know, that Jeffrey Chiang is scum.
People like Jeffrey Chiang is what the subprime is in trouble."

He went around telling everybody that he was accepted to HBS and did an internship at Goldman soph year. It's not hard to believe that something like this would happen. I always knew his lying would catch up to him, but not on some forum. This world never ceases to amaze.

I don't know if this guy has come up on your radar screens in terms of analyst recruits, but you need to be warned about him. I should have been tipped off by the fact that he ran a "5K marathon" on his resume.
I just figured something got lost in translation.
I interviewed him on campus, and while he was pretty weird/intense, he seemed like somebody who would crank and potentially make for a good analyst, so we waved him in for an office visit.
Things started going bad for him when I got a call from our HR department about him during our Superday. In making his travel arrangements with our travel agent, he had apparently made a big stink about needing to stay at the Four Seasons and blew up on the travel person. It was apparently bad enough that she went to the trouble to inform our HR department.
Our Superday reviews on him were pretty mixed, nonetheless. He had spent a summer at Gulfstar, so I did a bit of checking on him there, and it became clear that they were also very unimpressed with the way that he carried himself. So, we dinged him, but that is not where the story ends.
He had told one of the associates in our office that he was in the second round of interviews for MS's Palo Alto office. Well, our associate happened to mention this to his friend that works in the MS Palo Alto office and the associate at MS said that Jeff had had only had a phone interview but had indicated that he had an offer from BAML.
When the MS team asked him to send proof of his offer, he manufactured the email below and forwarded to the MS team.
We have notified UT of this joker's behavior, but needless to say, this guy shouldn't be able to get a job at McDonalds after a stunt like this.

This is what Jeffrey sent Morgan Stanley to prove he received an offer from your firm. Given you told me you dinged him, should I assume this is fake? If so, that's unbelievable and his school should be notified, he shouldn't get a job anywhere on Wall Street.

Truly amazing. The funny thing is he may have gotten away with it if he didn't forward the email on to MS.
You really have to wonder about the thought process required for some college senior to throw a fit to stay in the Four Seasons on an interview trip...

Who would be this retarded,
by MMBinNCWho would be this retarded, all he needed to do was work hard to actually do work during his internship...I mean he got interviews this year... Then he went a step further and forged a offer-esque letter to MS, from a bank at which he did not even interview in person yet....not to mention he had not interviewed in person at MS yet. If you were going to lie, why lead them on a track to discover your entire conspiracy. Did he seriously think that no-one would even try to follow up? I guess he got cocky from not getting caught from the MS thing. Is it not illegal to forge a letter of that nature? Identity Theft, Fraud, etc. Maybe only if he got the job...well don't worry, he will never get a job on Wall Street (unless he's shining shoes)

Sad thing is, I know the guy, and I never had any problems with him.
Wonder if this is grounds for expulsion from the university? I'd say it's a pretty big offense, and it surely does not bode well for the McCombs brand name.
Lesson for all wallstreet-hopefuls
by supibOuch.
Big lesson for all wallstreet-hopefuls (I am one): don't ever lie, and be nice to people.
And bitching at the travel agent? What's up with that? I guess intern gigs at BBs can really inflate some people's ego, but one must realize that if you're an analyst, you're right at the bottom of the pyramid. I've seen all too many times IBD summer analysts thinking they are above IT directors of 5-year experience just because they are in IT, which is so very unfortunate.
Damn
by cphbravo96This dude is going to kill himself, or given his previous tendencies, fake his death.
Obviously he is getting what he deserves, but I couldn't imagine knowing that I would never be hired by a WS firm. Granted there are many more careers that this guy could pursue but it will be a far cry from making it rain on WS.
Usually I would say good luck, but this time I will have to go with good riddance.
