I am being investigated by CFAI

Did you just receive this email passme? What is the content and what are they investigating you on?
 
“The PCP is in receipt of information that alleges that following the 2012 June exam, you disclosed information under username Passme related to the exa content via postings on websites…”
 
oh man. I think you will have to tell them that it was a general discussion and not specific question discussion that was asked in the exam - This can only be done by compiling your past posts.
 
the evidence will come from the specific posts they are looking at. If there was any hint or clue that it may have came from the exam ( any specific words that link to the actual test question) you could be dead in the water.
If someone started a thread and asked a question that was a topic that happened to land on the exam, that would look suspicious, but your chances of successfully winning an investigation could be much greater if you have a history of posting random questions. I honestly don’t know
 
I d rather let them void my exam result than voiding my canadidicy.
I will take it again with confidence, but if this is serious enough that CFAI says goodbye to me…I really dunno what else to do.
Thank Chad for the help.
 
Your posts look relatively harmless in my opinion… i don’t see any posts where you started a thread asking specifically for input on exam questions (which many people do), and the posts you made (which i can see) seem to be about more general concepts and it doesn’t look like you ever revealed new information… If you look at the examples that CFAI gives of people who have been punished for disclosing exam content, the disclosures included compiling vast amounts of information and publishing their findings across a variety of web pages, which is a much more blatant activity and understandably punishable.
I hope you don’t receive more than a reprimand, because it doesn’t appear that you disclosed new information. The fact that you are being investigated should be a fair warning to others on the forum that regardless of the nature of your comments, discussing CFA material immediately after the exam on public forums is dangerous, as your identity is acessible and the institute may interpret your comments differently than you had intended them to be conveyed.
 
^ your response is really helpful..psychologically….how I wish the outcome was as simple as a warning…..The letter itself to me looks pretty darn scary…
