TITLE: Lie locally nilpotent associative algebras
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: Let $A$ be an associative algebra over a field. Then $A$ can be regarded as a Lie algebra via the Lie bracket defined by $[a,b]=ab-ba$ for every $a,b\in A$.
The algebra $A$ is called Lie locally nilpotent if it is locally nilpotent as a Lie algebra. Also, $A$ is said to be locally Lie nilpotent if every finitely generated associative subalgebra of $A$ is nilpotent as a Lie algebra. 
Clearly, if $A$ is locally Lie nilpotent then it is Lie locally nilpotent. Is the converse true?

REPLY [3 votes]: I have to mention that for associative algebras over fields of characteristic not 3 the question has now a positive answer. This is a consequence of a very recent paper by Dias and Krasilnikov: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.05728.pdf
