Enter the Aleksey Vayner Bullshit Repository of Lies, which aims to chronicle all of Aleksey's acts of Herculeanism. Naturally, this sort of user-generated encyclopedia of Vaynerisms is prone to gag entries, but luckily, Vayner's pathological talent for spinning wildly implausible tales of his own super-greatness makes it possible to imagine even the surrealist of gag entries coming from his smugly-compressed word hole.

For example, it's hard to imagine that Aleksey powerlifted 600 lbs so quickly that the rotation of the earth was affected and the magnetic poles reversed. But it is so much harder to imagine than his real claims that he foiled 9/11 Part Deux, or that he was a hired CIA/KGB spy as early as the age of 6?

<![CDATA[ Remix Of Worst Banking Video Resume Ever ]]> Loop this on your video iPod during your morning power runs, or power lifting, or power whoopy-making. Cool points added for not using "Eye Of The Tiger."

Vayner should be able to leverage all this media attention into a buyout of a small hidy-hole below the Mason-Dixon line.

<![CDATA[ Aleksey Vayner's Failed Investment Banking Video Resume ]]> If you've ever wondered why it seems everyone who works at a bank is an unrepentant tool, this video made shed some light.

Recent Yale graduate Aleksey Vayner sent around this video, along with an eleven-page resume, to investment banks up and down Wall Street this summer.

Now Gawker's following his trails of douchebaggery back in time, taking time to smell his plagiarizing of a holocaust survivor book and his claim to be an underground martial artist master who fought Jean-Claude van Damme.

To the banks' credit, Vayner remains unemployed.
