Jeffrey Chiang: You will never in your life ever work on Wall Street.

enuf said.

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.

Not posting his resume, though there are some interesting things on there... Here are the intial emails before the chain started going out across the world. As someone mentioned earlier, he goes to UT Austin.

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.

BillMurray:
Any updates on what happened to this guy?

who cares.

people destroyed this kids life over this, meanwhile there are thousands of complete dickheads working on wallstreet that abuse and "pls fix" juniors on a daily basis with zero regard for their health or well being, and no one really bats an eye.

always hated the "this guy should never work on wall street ever" tone in that email that was forwarded. yeah, im sure you treat your juniors really well and have become the official "protector of wallstreet". give me a break.

who care if a stupid intern made a dumb move 10 years ago.
