Hah. He probably would do well writing self-help books.

Yeah he is a dick, no doubt - but then the finance sector does tend to attract cocks and wankers. He will probably fit in well.

This guy reminds me of Casey Serin. Speaking of which, According to Wikipedia his wife filed for divorce on the 22nd of October.

Well, to be fair, it's the cocks that attract the wankers.

I kind of skipped around so maybe I missed how ballroom dancing makes him qualified to be a banker.

Did you read the comments on the linked article, though? This guy is too arrogant for wall street. Of course, if some of the things he claimed were true...

What bothers me about his resume is that he can't set tabs in Word at all.

How friggin dare anyone out there make fun of Alexey after all he has been through. All you people care about is….. readers and making money off of him. HE’S A HUMAN! What you don’t realize is that Alexey is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.

LEAVE HIM ALONE! LEEEAVE ALEXXEYYY ALLLLLONE!…..Please. Leave Alexey Alone Please…. Leave Alexey Vayner alone…right now….I mean it. Anyone that has a problem with him you deal with me, beacuse he is not well right now. leave him alone

Either that resume has crazy weasel words or people in the financial sector do not write English.

Why is it that delusional bullshitters like Vayner always imagine themselves unparalleled skills in the martial arts? Is it so that people will be disinclined to call them on their crap, lest they die the death of a thousand cuts?

Aleksey Vayner can divide by zero.

Lives there a man who's vainer than Vayner?
Cut him some slack — it couldn't be plainer
This is one gifted child
(Though his feats are self-styled):
Black belt, author, Messiah ... no-brainer.

That is an awesome line.

Isn't it obvious that he should star in a reality-tv show? I'd bet it would be a huge hit for any network - "Alexey's Apprentice" - seven young psychos try to earn the dream job of working at one of Mr. Vayner's fictitious companies, where he/she will be given inflated responsibilities and paid a generous annual salary of one million Alexey-bucks!

They're both Uzbeks. Maybe there's something in the water.
