I just read the CFP(r) Board's newsletter. One of the articles was announcement of certain activites that could bar someone from ever obtaining the CFP(r) designation. These include violent felonies (e.g. murder, rape, etc), felony financial shennanigans, 2 bankruptcies, etc.

I hadn't seen anything like that so far in my CFA studies. Is there something similar? I'm sure one would have difficulty even working in the industry if there were severe marks against them, but has the CFAI ever explicitly listed anything?
 
unspoken rule...thou shall not kill, rape or covet thou neighbor's wife.
 
they ask you have you ever been arrested or something in the last five years, i dont know what happens if you have i dont remember...
 
I heard one of the new rules will be a minimum of beatification (first step towards sainthood).
