Is this real life? | Brazil had a couple strange headlines this week. First, a (former) Brazilian mayor was sentenced to 14 years in jail for embezzlement. Lidiane Leite stole cash from the town’s education budget and then went on the lam while continuing to govern the town via WhatsApp. This all happened after her former BF was ousted from his mayoral position on allegations of corruption—she ran in his place, won, and then hired him as her chief adviser. It all sort of spiraled from there. Then on Monday, a truck carrying CFA exams was hijacked, and all the cargo was stolen. Authorities don’t have high hopes of recovering the tests, but the president of CFA Society Brazil is offering a refund or another chance to take the test. Just what every student wants to hear: You get to take the test again.
