so CFA charter holders have utter disregards for standards or guys who are CFA charter holders who follows the standards can't speak up or 'disassociate' and bring to ethics compliance attention, or ethics compliance departments are dummies.. either of the cases the values learned in CFA program appears to be lost in the real world.

Hi ForwardPass, with due respect, I still think you are not getting my point. you keep refering about trading on MNPI as ILLEGAL, I don't disagree, but beyond that I am saying, there are several ways to make any practices LEGAL. Once made LEGAL (although in true spirit UNETHICAL) they are outside boundaries of LAW right? so then the only way these practices can be curbed is by adoption of higher standards (such as prescribed by CFA institute). And that's where I think in the real world people don't seem to 'walk the talk' if you know what I mean!
