| Merrill Lynch cans the smoothie jerk. |
A Connecticut man found out the digital dash. He went on a racist tirade and violent encounter with servers at a Robek Smoothie. Now he not only lost his job, but he is facing criminal charges that could put his ass in the iron college.
He was upset over a smoothie that triggered his child's allergic reaction. The child had a peanut allergy and it was the drink. As the child was being treated for his injuries, the man reacted. He went to the Fairfield, Connecticut store to demand a manager.
This is Jim Iannazzo. This guy runs a Merrill Lynch firm For Bank of America in CT/NYC area. Here he is talking to a bunch of smoothie employees the way he likely does to his team. We should totally email this to Every Bank of America employee and show them this abuse pic.twitter.com/xb0y9qRMS0

The confrontation quickly escalated, as the suspect allegedly threw a smoothie at one of the workers.

| Angry man made himself famous for the wrong reasons. |
Employees called police after they say he tried to break into the back of the shop.
"He threatened to kill us multiple times," said employee Charlie Hill. "He tried to come behind the doors, and I started recording."
Video of the incident posted on TikTok has been viewed millions of times.
The suspect surrendered to police shortly after it happened.
He admitted he never told the employees about his son's allergy, but says he did ask for the smoothie without peanut butter.
He has hired a lawyer who said the suspect was under stress and his parental instincts kicked in because his son got sick from the smoothie.
The suspect has been charged with multiple counts and is due in court Feb. 7.
Merrill Lynch, which employed the suspect as a financial advisor, released the following statement on Monday:
"Our company does not tolerate behavior of this kind. We immediately investigated and have taken action. This individual is no longer employed at our firm."
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a law.
The suspect faces at least two years if convicted.
