Before Vayner had even begun his freshman year, his tendency to exaggerate was discussed in an article in Rumpus, a Yale humor magazine. He apparently had visited as a high school senior and told unbelievable stories about himself. Among his claims to people on campus, or to the public, starting with this initial visit to Yale:
* He claimed that he "is one of four people in the state of Connecticut qualified to handle nuclear waste".
* He was employed by both the Mafia and the CIA during his childhood.
* He gave tennis lessons to Harrison Ford, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jerry Seinfeld. He further claims to have won two games in a tennis match against Pete Sampras.
* He is a specialist in "Chinese orthopedic massage."
* The Dalai Lama had apparently written his college recommendation.
* He has killed two dozen men in Tibetan gladiatorial contests.
* He claimed to be "an action star, an espionage expert, and a professional athlete. He would be on the C.I.A. firing range one day and at a martial-arts competition that took place in [a] secret system of tunnels underneath Woodstock, New York."
