would love to see the "subsequent apologies"....
we just had some forwarded and they have the chain from the initial recipients forwarding to their colleagues... reaction was pretty harsh
Poor discretion but more egregious things happen every day...
I agree completely... that has to be a tough situation to be in. Think about how much backlash he's probably getting from UPenn alumni, his friends, his classmates. Think about his parents and how tough that must be to see him going through all this.
Good lesson for all you prospective monkeys out there... don't do what he did...

In that thread, I thought this whole story was fucking stupid. That being said, I did not realize just how many emails he blasted this to which makes this a ton funnier to actually see it:

What are the chances he is a WSO member?
Any account delete requests in the past 24 hours?
I laughed out loud.
He also sent an apology email today which got forwarded as well by the receiving douchebag. At least Dealbreaker had the decency to redact the name.
^^^ By receiving douchebag you are of course referring to the Head of Harris Williams' Restructuring business...
