In 2012, in the wake of the MF Global scandal, Bry and Ernest Jaffarian ran as write-in candidates for the NFA board, and were elected. In February 2012, Bry and Jaffarian published a 14-page memo, in advance of the NFA's annual meeting, regarding the restoration of customer funds lost in the MF Global debacle.[3][4] The two were re-elected to the NFA board in 2014 to another two-year term.[5] Education[edit]
