It is on today's NY Times business first page
It is funny.
It is important to make your resume standout among other applicants for Wall Street jobs.
However, being too aggressive may not be a good idea especially when it comes down
about the credibility of your resume.

He maybe another William Huang. :)

Actually, that 11 pages long resume get him into serious trouble:

Use Humor with Caution in Your College Applications
According to news reports, Yale senior Aleksey Vayner is currently in trouble with various authorities, including the Dean of Yale College and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, for creating a fake company and a fake charity to support claims he made in his job applications to investment banks.

Vayner reportedly backed up the 11-page resume he submitted to banks by creating phony websites for the investment firm where he claimed to have worked and for a non-profit organization he claimed to have founded and led. He also created a website promoting a book he had supposedly written and published about women in the Holocaust. All three websites appear to use content copied from other sources.
 
Another Yale student made it in NYTimes

To Yale admissions officials, Akash Maharaj was an appealing prospect: He had earned straight A's at Columbia University. Now he wanted to transfer. Yale not only admitted him; it gave him a $32,000 scholarship as well.
Since then, however, much of his application information has turned out to be false, Yale said, and he is facing charges in Connecticut of larceny and forgery. According to an affidavit from Yale, although he attended Columbia, the straight A's were bogus, as was a Columbia recommendation and even one Columbia transcript. And before Columbia, he had attended New York University.
