Congratulations, Hyman. There were extenuating factors for me: I sat for the CPA 15 years after graduating. 8 years in the Army, tried making it as a stockbroker for 4+ years, before returning to accounting.

My error was going to work for EF Hutton. I passed the Series 7 two months before the company pleaded guilty to 2000 felony counts of check kiting.

It all worked out for the best, though. I applied what I learned from Hutton's fraud to a financial investigation I'm involved with at work. The end result is a 100+ item complaint filed against the former manager of one of our properties in the South.

Our asset managers are not schooled in accounting, they never questioned the harm generated by a commingled bank account that involved several different companies.
