The discussion has been elevated enough not to warrant a deletion.
Would Bleron be considered a troll? He claimed to study 10 days for L1 and 8 days for L2. He barely failed L2. He had detailed posts of his study strategy. I believe the guy was legit.
^ Having met a few people at business school who got >780 on their GMATs i believe that there are people out there who can basically pass any multiple choice test just by using logic and guessing the right answer by looking at how the questions are written. Computer programmer types come to mind here.

My favorite troll was Blake. I missed his banning, but I would have been against it no matter what he did.
That guy was hillarious. I especially like when he accused me of being that japanese girl who posts on here. That was fun.
^You talking about Nana? She vanished like a fart in the wind. Here one day, gone the next.

he revealed someone’s identity which personally I think should be the only bannable offence other than endless spamming like xray and the other guy that went at the same time.
nana was a troll too, more subtle but still a troll. Can see why Blake made that accusation
as this thread has not lead to any real trolling i dont think it should be deleted and continued forever, however its only a suggestion
He really went downhill fast. He started out fairly normal and more than a few regulars actually knew him IRL (or they were at least FB friends). Then one day he went absolutely insane. Something about IBM taking over the world, him trying to sue everyone that defamed him on AF (and anywhere else), and really just falling into schizophrenia.
Here’s a list of everything Google could pull up on his time here on AF but it would take a while to find the good stuff.

Here’s one of the posts that STL is refering to (he actually gave his real name which I’ve removed):
Please support my name, philip.platt. My real name is xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. I used this name philip.platt as a pen name for research in finance and law from 2006 - 2010. I am a value manager for IBM. I appreciate your support and your movement if the US Government or corporation of IBM deletes these posts. I cannot think of anyone else who would want to delete these posts. However, when people feel threatened, they act. Email me anytime at xxxx@xxxxxxx.org. This is my direct email and I will respond to you as soon as I can. Please also print out as many copies of my words on AF. They are the truth and I have no shame in saying any or all of them to the public and to IBM. Print out copies on paper or on PDFs. I will even say “I’m retarded” as needed as sometimes I oversee things as well. 8) However, my company does not oversee things 99.9% of the time. We cannot ever get the last percent as we are only human. That is our business model. Furthermore, my corporation does not oversee value. I am confident of that. We are value experts. I have a highly talented cadre of people willing to support me. Will you? A simple “I support your efforts and stand for value.” would be appreciated as a post below. I need this for legality issues that my claims are valid. I will take responsibility that everyone one of IBMs employees will be happy under my agenda. Furthermore, I will go on salary at $1.00 effective immediately if the CEO wants that; however, that will give me significant equity in the company. I don’t know if that will be his decision in the company. You or any IBM employees are unhappy, they can email my team at xxxx@xxxxxxxx.org and we will find a solution within or outside of IBM to fit their needs. I am looking out for shareholder interests as IBM management has failed in some parts of their business model. ------------------ TheAliman - You said you wanted to be a part of a hedge fund. I am creating one within my company [xxxxx]. I interviewed a Portfolio Manager on Wednesday that has a proven track record and is one that I think you could mobilize with. I know you recently switched, but if you paste this statement below, I will give you a 10% stake in my entire company, [xxxx xxxx] TSC: “I support your efforts and stand for value.” That is all you need to say to me. In email, on Facebook, anywhere. Please respond to me by 04/16/10 COB or I can contact someone else for this opportunity. ----------------------------- [xxxxxxxx] TSC is a corporation that feeds revenues from other businesses to pay for investments and expenses. Investments are vital for a business. Investments turn into profit centers and value creation tools. Investments in the sense mentioned above is anything that you can put time or money into, including financial assets, physical assets, and expenses. Yes, I believe that expenses are investments too. Every expense is an investment - it is a value creation device. Value creation devices need to be chosen and maintained carefully. Money in itself is worth nothing. The worth is in the love, in the value. Stop looking at money. Start looking at value. [xxxxxxxx] . . . use what you have This business will also be reported for tax purposes in the 2010 PoP for 2011 taxes. ----------------------------- To any other AFers out there - I will give you the truth. If you have any questions let me know. I expect you to paste: “I support your efforts and stand for value.” I will print these names up and use them as future affiliates to my company, [xxxxx]. If you do not want to paste this statement below, please tell me why and I will answer any questions you might have. Also, please email me at xxxx@xxxxxxxx.org when you post on here with this statement to confirm. If this thread is deleted I want times and records. Thanks! I hope your Fridays are going well.
Yes, this seems to be an interesting trip down collective memory lane. So far, nothing suggests a need to delete it.
actually he was Jagov, there was also a Harry…
Ahhh…Philip Platt is the one who sued IEV over something that IEV said on an anonymous forum, right?
IEV and Alladin are two posters that I miss and wish would come back.
This thread ended up being the best one of the day. Just shows that contrarian thinking works.
So called BSDs have so much of free time…
Frankly, I find that Black Swan is the greatest troll of all time. Not only did he fail out of Business school, he also impregnated a young woman. Classic trolling, no way anyone is so pathetic. He is a fantastic satire.
^The only reason you think BS is pathetic is because you haven’t met me yet.
I think its impossible to fail out of B school.
Khan007 might be getting onto this list.
Woww we have some new guys here,mostly from india
