Ryan was a member of a fraternity in college and holds an MBA from the University of Scranton's Kania School of Management, which he earned during the second and third seasons. In a deleted scene, he would add Dunder Mifflin CFO David Wallace to that list after Wallace called and became irate upon learning of Ryan's return to the Scranton branch. However, his malevolent aspirations to climb back to the top of the corporate ladder are revealed when he adds Jim and Kevin to a list of people who "will be sorry" when he returns to the top. In the season 5 premiere, Ryan returns to the Scranton branch after Michael arranges for him to work Pam's job. He is eventually released and required to work community service. In the season 4 finale " Goodbye, Toby", Ryan is arrested for committing fraud. This leads to Ryan becoming an egotistical braggart despite lackluster sales skills.
