If I file for bankruptcy can i be a CFA?

just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question. I’m considering filing for bankruptcy, if i do, does that elimiate me from becoming a CFA charterholder? Thanks

Of course not. It may affect your career in other ways however.

It’s OK as long as it doesn’t involve fraud or something like that.

I remember doing a CFA ethics question that asked this exact question. The answer was that it doesn’t matter.
