Nothing Like an Internet Scandal for Finding Out How Many Enemies You Have
Ever since full names broke in the scandal we shall henceforth call Skullfucked: The Akash Maharaj and Victor Cazares Story, we’ve gotten a tsunami-force wave of tips evaluating the boys’ relative worth and/or loathsomeness. Consensus seems to be that Akash is sketchy but super smart and kinda cute. Were it not for that whole felony thing, he’d be a catch!
On the other hand, Victor (at right) has more enemies than Wharton has douchebags. Gawker published a damning email about Victor with several redactions; since we got a nearly identical email, we’re guessing the missing parts are those featuring the breathless retelling of sexual encounters of such graphic and character-assassinating proportions that even Gawker won’t touch it. When your enemies are more ruthless than Gawker is, you know you’re in trouble.
A brief compendium of Skullfucked rumors:
victor cazares used akash throughout their relationship so that akash would buy him food (every day), clothes, books, train tickets etc. victor even stopped going in regularly to his job at la casa (the latino cultural center at yale) because he expected akash to take care of him.
victor did indeed claim to destroy akash’s belongings and the yale police have the email and have advised akash to seek monetary compensation by suing victor in civil court. it is unclear though whether victor actually destroyed his ex’s belongings or whether he was just lying so he could steal them. … last i heard, akash was trying to press charges against victor for larceny and criminal mischief (regarding his belongings)
Both boys have blocked each other from their respective facebook profiles but there are still wall to wall messages that mutual “friends” like myself can view. It’s fascinating how early in the relationship VICTOR seemed like the obsessive one, posting comments on Akash’s wall over and over within seconds of each comment. … It seems as if over time, Victor became more secure and then Akash went crazy. But in the beginning it was the reverse.
After the jump: Wall posts for Akash, with love from Victor. We discover that “Babel” is overrated and that Trader Joe’s is the market of choice for depraved Yalies.
Our tipster either doesn’t have Akash’s posts, or only cares about Victor. We like to imagine the missing parts consist of “Nah, I don’t feel like food-shopping. Want to shop for fake identities instead?” and “Why are we conducting an entire relationship via wallposts? Does the Skull & Bones tomb have bad cell service or something?” At least we know that new Facebook chat thing will be well-used.
The most astounding thing about these messages is how sweet and very normal they are, mere months before the relationship imploded and each man supposedly became the other’s saboteur and archnemesis. Oh, young love! Nothing like a little infatuation to blind you to the rapidly approaching precision-guided missile aimed directly at your forehead.

Great, great post, great intel. Maybe Bones will think twice about solely affirmative action taplines and get back to tapping on merit now.
April 14th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Yes, restore some honor and fairness to the whole system.
WTF y11?
April 14th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Because tapping on merit isn’t… fair and honorable? WTF indeed.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
can we please get this guy’s face off the top of the page? also by what merit should a person’s admission into a “secret” society be based? It seems proficiency at giving head is as good a measure as any other.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Good point, and agreed.
April 14th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
got to admit, he does have a pretty mouth.
April 15th, 2008 at 1:09 am
I believe every old school member of bones just threw up a little bit in their mouths. Honestly what has become of yale?
April 15th, 2008 at 2:11 am
Don’t you people, presumably Ivy League students or graduates, have better things to do than argue over which student, both of whom are certainly suffering due to excessively vicious media and peer attention, is in the wrong? Give it up already. Just because it’s the most recent tawdry affair to come out of the Ivies doesn’t make it your own soap opera to pick over and dissect. And as for you Yalies who are using your access as facebook “friends” of either man to feed your ego-centric desires to be more in the know than others, shame on you.
April 15th, 2008 at 8:23 am
Woah, disgusting, are you ever on the wrong site!
April 15th, 2008 at 10:31 am
I never speak ill of fellow bonesmen, but tapping Cazares was a mistake.
April 15th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
so by “never” you mean… the opposite of never?
April 15th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
So… does this site cover *news* anymore? Or just gossip?
I’m pretty sure that there has to be a decent amount of actual news going on outside of “which Yalie made an idiot of himself this week,” but you’d barely know it from this blog.
Gossip is interesting, but so is actual news. Some more of that would be nice.

Nothing like every member of the United Nations laughing when you were called satan in front of the world.
Delusional yankees protesting the treatment of Tibet by China, and not protesting your own evil all over the planet. It’s quite a campaign of mis-direction by your media, and the ivy league idiots comment on how great you dumb fucks are, HUH? The fact the entire rest of the worlds legal community used the laws america helped create and found y’all guilt of war crimes, as in you’re all International war criminals, and y’all are off living in some delusional bubble juggling game. A huge portion of america recognizes the evil errors in their ways and yet you dumb fucks who are supposed to be the most brilliant america has to offer next are totally brain dead and delusional. This is so typical of americas behavior for 242 years. The rothschilds designated planet killer : america. Holy fuck are you idiots, and the evaluation of your consciences goes deep into negative territory.
You fore fathers used social science to mold the psychology of the nation, so that your little girls are turned on by being on the front lines of the battlefield and getting fucked by their american soldiers ( not necessarily her husband )while they and their male counterparts mow down innocent women and children with machine guns close up. The movie with pitt and jolie is a perfect example. ” mr. and mrs. smith ” wreck the house scene with violence and gunfire and then break into sex isn’t healthy for anyone, laughable for well adjusted sane old adults but a nasty example you pieces of shit’ in the ivy leagues take to the excess in things like paying whores to have the end of your cock sewn shut with a needle and thread and pay huge dollars for it, shit on a plate for $ 2000 alex, piss in a mug for $ 1000 alex, a whopping dildo up your ass for huge cash. May I recommend the davey ” oedipus ” thomsons patented 10 D cell double ended red white and blue stars and stripes pentagon shaped spine replacement series for all you americans. davey’s daddy was the infamous kenny r ” Massacre of the Innocents ” thomson that died a ghost in the web billionaire with a net worth of just under $ 30 billion.
I’ve been constucting a Pavlovian experiment on twisted fucks like yourselves, ooooooh this if fun, setting certain individuals up so that with a few well chosen words are programmed to get the intended subject simultaneously crying, laughing, vomiting, pissing and shiting while technically their heads do spin it’s more a function of them turning their whole bodies rather than it spinning like Carrie in the ” Exorcist “.
Oh well things to do, american to bury, got to go, bye bye satan america, it’s been a rapturous ride and you’re just about done, au revoir lemmings.

taps need to be merit, not ethnicity or cultural house based
April 15th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
every single person of color in a society is accused of being an “affirmative action” tap line. why is it that white people can’t seem to accept that people of color on this campus have talent and merit besides their ethnicity.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Y11 wrote “solely affirmative action taplines,” implying that’s the ONLY thing happening with these kids- and if that’s the case, he’s totally right. SOLELY affirmative action taplines are indeed bullshit. If they have legit other stuff going for them, though, then by all means tap them. It’s Yale. People accept that people of color on campus have talent and merit all the time, and nobody is saying these people shouldn’t get tapped. The only implication was that better people than Cazares might exist and that he shouldn’t have been tapped on cultural house standing alone- again, IF INDEED THAT WAS THE CASE. Stop getting so offended.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
These guys are out of control
April 15th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
ha! someone should totally start a “free akash” website. he is kinda cute actually…
April 15th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
let’s be real. victor got tapped by skull and bones because he is a fat, gay, mexican. that’s all.

April 15th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
y11, keeping it real: ever read one of victor’s plays? ever talked to him? no? well then how about a dose of SHUT THE FUCK UP? dont comment about people’s meritocracy, cuz kids, that requires knowing and being able to judge whether or not people are meritorious.
and ivygate: are you really going to publish anything i write on my friends’ walls on facebook and make fun of it? perhaps you need insight into what kind of a relationship victor shared with akash BEFORE you make fun of how he was all over him one month and then pressing charges another. You make it sound like Victor’s the jackass, even though he’s the one who found out Akash had lied to everyone about his identity. do you not see that it’s clearly the right thing to do? then why are you making fun of the person doing the right thing?! are u, like, RETARDED? jesus christ! what are you guys? does it not occur to you that perhaps their wall-to-wall was meant ONLY for their friends to read, and not the whole world wide web to mock at? or do bonesmen interest you SO MUCH that you cant resist doing away with all that is called decency and respect for privacy.
April 15th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
i think what yale08 is pointing out is really that white people are all too quick to jump on any person of color who accomplishes something as an “affirmative action” X just because they are a person of color.
victor is an incredibly talented playwright and the top directing student drama school has been workshopping his play to try to produce with some of the best students at the drama school, so clearly this kid has talent. all of the drama students who worked on this play were blown away by it as opposed to gagging like we usually do when we have to work with the typical arrogant yale theater undergrad. he’s going to be one of the great playwrights of our generation.
April 15th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
good lord drama school! “great playwrights of our generation??” are you fucking kidding me? why don’t you just admit that you’re one of victor’s sycophant friends, part of his pat themselves on the back society, or someone who likes to suck him off?
typical arrogant yale theater undergrad describes this guy perfectly.
April 15th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
oh and this isn’t just ivygate. it’s all over gawker as well. seems like victor has more enemies than sycophant friends…
April 15th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
@yale 08
you can think whatever you want about victor. but, it’s a fact that the top students at yale drama school love him and his writing and are working to develop his play. that’s a lot more than you can say about almost any arrogant yale theater undergrad. and frankly, he has been described in classes I’ve taken in much more flowery terms than, “great playwrights of our generation.” have you read or seen any of his plays or talked to any of the professors or theater practitioners who’ve worked with him. none have ever described him as an arrogant yale theater undergrad.
April 15th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Do the people disparaging Victor’s academic merit here know anything about his academic record, or have they simply based their in-depth knowledge of his merit upon seeing a picture of him? As drama school points out, Victor is an incredibly gifted individual. As someone who has read his plays, I’ll vouch for that.
I really don’t understand why Victor is being portrayed as the villain here. Because he’s in Skull and Bones? The last time I checked, checking someone into a mental institute when they threaten to commit suicide is the right thing to do. So is letting an authority know that someone is storing suspicious personal information for other people on his computer. Sure Akash is charming and bright, but he’s the one who committed the fraud here.
April 15th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
ok dart07, and in that case akash probably needs psychological help. but should he really be charged with larceny for money that went directly to the school?? if someone had paid for yale out of their own pocket, they couldn’t be charged, they would just be kicked out of school for doing what akash is accused of doing. which means he is being charged because he’s poor? outrageous! (and i’m not the only one, the l.a. times said this as well) he also didn’t deserve to have his belongings destroyed (or stolen) by the same boyfriend who abandoned him when he clearly needed psychological help. i know victor must be your boy, so i’m not trying to rag him here, just giving two sides to the story. if even you think akash is “charming and bright” then isn’t all of this a tad bit much? ruining his life and humiliating him in every possible way? how could someone do that to a person they ever claimed to love?
neither if these boys is evil – and certainly not victor – but i know i wouldn’t want to be with a snitch who showed no compassion at the precise moment I needed it.
there’s so much that’s sad about this story.
April 15th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
yeah, yale08, you’re right. i bet if you discovered that your boyfriend was not in fact a 21-year-old wealthy British citizen as he had told you, but was actually a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago who threatened to kill you and stole his friends social security and credit card numbers, you would stay with him no questions asked.
victor didn’t ruin askash’s life or humiliate him. he did that to himself along with the yale daily news. if victor had wanted to humiliate him and ruin his life, he could have gone to the new york times last may when he first discovered Akash’s web of lies and it would have been national news a year ago.
April 15th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
From the way some of Victor’s friends carry on, I’d think he was the return of the Messiah cum playwright (cum cum eater, but I digress). A veritable Great White Hope, albeit Latino.
You theater spazzes truly are drama queens: you take every remark as a world-shattering attack. If he is that superb a playwright, do you need to defend him from anonymous commenters? Really? It just makes you look insecure.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:13 am
exactly pity! thank you! i’ve actually seen some of this guy’s work and he’s certalinly talented but he lacks discipline in a lot of areas. there are moments and scenes of real beauty but he seems to lack the ability to make real CHOICES in his writing. that of course will probably come with time and like i said, his indeed talented, but will you guys please calm down and get over yourselves? greatest playwright of our generation is a laughable hyperbole.
and to the other poster who asked, unless victor himself was lying to akash and others, he is apparently a B/C student and his GPA isn’t that great. but then i guess i’d be too lazy to do my schoolwork too if i had a boyfriend buying me things all the time…
April 16th, 2008 at 12:23 am
oh and drama school, first of all, akash is not an illegal immigrant (he has a green card) so i don’t know why you all keep perpetuating that thoroughly bigoted remark. as if being an illegal alien were a sin in itself? HA! seems like you picked up nothing from the “great writing” from the “great playwright” whose balls you’re obviously sucking. isn’t victor’s work all about the porous boundaries between borders, immigration rights etc? or is that something he and his friends only talk about when it’s cool to do so? secondly, victor only cared about akash’s money which is why he was disappointed to find out that akash wasn’t wealthy even though he didn’t bother to ask about the family’s current situation or what might have happened in past two years to cause a change in their finances. i’m not saying the relationship was good or that victor didn’t have every right to end it (and akash had absolutely no right to threaten suicide as a way to keep him, he should have just let victor go) but let’s not pretend that victor wasn’t interested in using akash for his money (and did exploit him financially throughout the semester).
April 16th, 2008 at 12:47 am
I’m good friends with a good friend of Victor’s and I have to say, I never could stand him. He’s pompous and full of himself, and only Yale actors lacking the astute acumen and real refinement of someone with taste (for you idiot actors who are obviously posting here while you jerk off to Victor’s scripts, I just alliterated twice) would think his writing is the second coming. (Though I’m sure he cums when he reads it himself) He’s also pretty selfish and doesn’t really care about the people closest to him. (His bad mouthing and mistreatment of one of his “best friends” is particularly heinous after everything this friend has done for him. Oh yes Victor, everything you’ve said gets back to us!) I never met this roguish rapscallion Akash, but I galloped over to Gawker and well…I’m baffled. Why anyone cute would show any interest in Victor at all is beyond me. And Victor, I’m sure you’re quite happy to have your society swine yes men (and women) fawning all over you, nursing your wounds and rubbing your tummy (and probably supporting you financially) and hey, after reading their spirited defense of you, I could see how a Victor disguised as a Victim could be a very appealing drag show. (If you ever write about something like this, I expect a royalty check…oh but who am I kidding? Your plays won’t sell, good thing you’ve already figured out how to siphon dollars from friends and lovers.) I mean if I didn’t know you at all, I’d almost give you a hug. But since I know you quite well, I also know you are quite capable of hugging yourself.
April 16th, 2008 at 1:18 am
clearly the lat 5-6 posts in the last 30 minutes have been akash’s rapid-fire posts…they all sound the same as the tired defenses from akash, oops i mean his “friends” have been posting here gawker and everywhere else
April 16th, 2008 at 1:28 am
Wrong. I’ve never been in New Haven for longer than two days — and that was more than enough, thank you very much. Never known either one of these guys. I just hate reading theater shills emoting about how somebody is the undiscovered Voice of Our Generation or a future Important Person. Grow up. If the next Hemingway were in your class, he wouldn’t talk to you, probably would be out carousing instead of moping, and would have long ago kicked your ass.
If Victor/Victoria is so important, let him fund an award in his name after he graduated — like that other self-important douche from Harvard.
April 16th, 2008 at 1:32 am
yeah…yale 08 you know way to much about victor and the way in which he talks about his work to be anyone other than
a)someone whose worked with him at the drama school–and clearly we’re not talking shit about him since we’re sucking his balls
b)a close friend–clearly not the case since they wouldn’t be talking shit on ivy gate
c)akash
any guesses?
and I didn’t mean “illegal immigrant” as a denigrating remark…just pointing out that telling someone you’re a British citizen in the U.S. on a student visa is very different from being someone from Trinidad and Tobago here illegally…one of the many lies akash told it seems
April 16th, 2008 at 1:40 am
To be clear: I am not yale08 nor do I know any Yale ’08s. But isn’t it time for an interlude?
Yo CHRISTIANARCHISTI: What do you have to say about all these whiny theater people complaining while they live like kings off the fat of the land, Amerika, that is the scourge of the earth? Whining to build their spoiled-brat empires on the backs of the world? What is to become of them? (Heh.)

i fucking loved volver. it’s his best film and i’m obsessed with all of them. if i weren’t pissed at ‘your people’ for producing, directing and writing “Water,” I’d be happy you wrote this. But as it is, I’m still so fucking disgusted that I watched Water, read the novelization of Water, read “Shooting Water” or whatever the book her daughter wrote is called, and then sat through a panel of Water–and then the movie was nominated instead of Volver. Everyone should learn to let Almodovar deal with women mourning their men and not try to do it themselves. Have you seen dark habits? You must. You simply must.
And i’m sorry I’m rambling. I’m totally kidding about ‘your people’ being responsible. It’s just deepa that’s responsible. And the Sri Lankan government. And I guess the Indian sub continent as a whole. and canada. there are so many people to blame.

Victor has had the biggest crushes on David Shieh and Noah Perez-Silverman, NEITHER of whom were ever interested in him. Noah finds Raj Persaud far more interesting, and “isn’t physically attracted to Victor.”
April 16th, 2008 at 4:00 am
and i’m surprised his friends have such negative views on “illegal aliens” when Victor’s own mother had an affair with an illegal Mexican immigrant who was then deported.
