Help — sophomore scared about telling another banks about exploding offer

My offer letter states that I cannot use the offer to leverage another IB offer from a different bank. Though I have told other banks that I would take over my current offer the NAME OF THE BANK FROM MY CURRENT OFFER. Am I screwed? Will it ever get traced back and will my current bank rescind my offer? I hate playing with fire and I’m so scared.

I’ve already said the name of the bank to the other banks I would accept over my current shop.

Either way, I don’t want to come off as mischievous — to either my current offer or places I want to accelerate — because I am breaking something directly written in the offer letter I’ve received.

 

Lol I remember reading this too… I think we are talking about the same offer (PJT, EVR, LAZ, PWP)? Either way bro, I wouldn't stress - you're in a good spot and if places aren't trying to accelerate (GS, CVP, Q, KKR in my case), then I would just take the offer and relax.
