Meet the Vayners?

by Dan Haley | September 8, 2008 at 10:26 am

When we last left Yale alum and crazy liar Aleksey Vayner, he had a poorly designed website and was writing a book called Millionaire’s Blueprint to Success. Of course, cursory examination revealed the website and book likely products of plagiarism. Idea theft, grand plans and a website: it was business as usual for Mr. Vayner. But today Ivygate brings you Vayner news that does not involve plagiarism or crackpot schemes: Aleksey may be married. According to an anonymous tipster:

I heard from a friend who knew him before his stupendous rise to tool-dome [sic] via video that he’s married. No details except the waif like…blonde in is [sic] facebook picture is apparently the lucky lady.

There you have it. Vayner has not yet reponded to Ivygate’s request for comment. Could it be that the attractive blonde in the above facebook picture is Mrs. Vayner? If true, this is easily Vayner’s greatest accomplishment.

    Dear IvyGate idiots:

    Aleksey Vayner wrote that email himself. How do I know? Because I know him personally and he was discussing the possibility of doing so about three weeks ago.

    Regards,
    An Amused Yalie

    Ivygate, please use “[sic]” correctly… It goes after the word that was misspelled, not before…

    You know, y09, in my day at Yale, we didn’t brag about knowing Vayner. It was actually considered “embarrassing” to know that moron. Glad to see times have changed so quickly.

    y08: it was, may I add, especially embarrassing to have met the kid before he got his 15 minutes of fame and to have given him the benefit of the doubt when he was telling me about his hedge fund, book about holocaust and stupendous sport achievements. All in a span of 15 minutes. I mean, I thought – Yalies can be amazing like that, who knows… Riiight.

    So if I were to quote ivygate, would I quote it like this:
    I heard from a friend who knew him before his stupendous rise to [sic][sic] tool-dome [sic] via video that he’s married. No details except the waif like…blonde in [sic][sic] is facebook [sic] picture is apparently the lucky lady.

    @Y07 and Y08

    Rest assured, they haven’t changed. Y09 is just an exceptional tool.

    donutdrinkp:

    I don’t think it’s correct to [sic] another [sic], so if I were quoting your quote of ivygate, I’d probably write:

    Similar to his “success” video – what you see is misleading.

    Now Adidas is running the “Impossible Is Nothing” campaign.

    Our friend Aleksey had better rework that copyright infringement template…

    Glad to see things are looking up for this guy. Don’t know why people have to try to insult him to make themselves feel better.
