Channeling Patrick Bateman are we?

Missed the original story and have a quick question.

You said that they are killing her Level 2 candidacy for this year, with no refunds. If she was signed up for the test, therefore being a candidate, what was wrong with her stating the candidacy on her resume? Was the resume written before she signed up for the test?

From what I gather: Initially, she said she was a L3 candidate while in reality, she was only a L2 candidate. After she was reported and received the warning from CFAI police team 1, she changed her resume to say she was a L2 candidate. After being suspended by CFAI police team 2, she changed her resume to say that she passed L1.

She's got to ham up passing L1 on the first attempt (assuming even that is true), because that may be all she may ever be able to do with CFA related stuff.

Thank you ohai. Odd story... why would anyone do that? You have to know better.

You'd be surprised how unethical and/or clueless and/or lazy some people are in real life... just check the level 1 forum and count the 'Hey can I skip X section of the CFA?', threads there are come less than one month before the exam.
