Is a job in Finance possible with a misdemeanor?

I have a misdemeanor for a fake ID on my record (underage drinking related). Actually, it is not really on my record or background checks, but FINRA/NASD (the self-regulators for the US Finance industry) have it in their records because I was dumb enough to disclose it to them. Five years will have passed in December. Will this make it hard to land a job with a Chinese finance firm or bank (or even be allowed to live in China?). I have lost a job offer in the US because of it. Apparently I can't work at a bank because of FDIC regulations. A lawyer says that he can get it expunged but it would cost $7000. That is no small sum, and would not be worth it if I plan on moving to a country that ultimately does not care. I would greatly appreciate any help with this or direction to a website that might have the answers. Thank you! Regards, B.
