The CFA spys are among us careful, understand

adehbone

They are here watching no doubt... so be careful of what you say here!

Listen, and understand. That CFA spy is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your exam results are voided.

I don't remember any of the specific questions, but Boris gave me a series of multiple choice answers to use in the morning session: ABBCCABACBACBACABCBCACBBCABC. The charter is practically mine!

The email I'm using is different from my CFAI email address, but it has my name in it. I have faith that I can be determined pretty easily if I started going on about specific questions.

Plus I don't care anyway- finding out you got a bunch of stuff wrong (even if you find out you got a bunch of stuff right) just makes you worry more. Better to not get involved.

the exam score bands & year of exam are probably best used to narrow you down.
But just as well, someone can say they posted someone elses' exam scores for sh*ts and giggles.

Those 2 guys got busted because they literally emailed some undercover cfai investigator the spreadsheet with the SAME email they registered with the CFAI.

Safest way? don't post any scores, age, dates, personal info, and use a proxy server to access AF.

Okay guys and girls, here is something to consider if you think your AF moniker offers you any anonymity.

Your posting history on here betrays a lot of information about you. Cross referencing information gleamed from your posts regarding your sex, location, employment and information about previous years exam results (ie, pass / fail bands and, most crucially, your exam tablulation details), the CFAI would be able to quite quickly take that big long list of ~46,000 Level 3 candidates and whittle it down to a very, very small list indeed.

In some cases it may well be a list with just one name on it.

this has been discussed numerous times, no AF didnt give them up, the CFAI got their names from their emails themselves ..............and just because you wont get caught doesnt mean that you should violate the agreement you signed..................

The people that got caught compiled spreadsheets and sent them out to whoever requested it. If you registered with the same email here as you did with the CFAI, it's a pretty easy catch.

Those old CFAI spys had real profiles. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on a poster before I could zero him.

Come with me if you want to live.

Yeah but that clearly didn't happen 2 years ago when people got expelled for the spreadsheets. Obv AF gave them up. Also it's the internet, no information is safe, they'll find out who you are one way or another.
