More Than Two Dozen Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) Employees Caught Porn Surfing While On The Government Payroll! Only Reprimanded NOT FIRED! ARGH! Right On Greta! Thanks For Exposing This Crapola!

OUR GOVERNMENT HARD AT WORK!!! This is the very agency created to OVERSEE the financial industry! And you wonder why our country was on the brink of financial collapse? If these knuckleheads would have been DOING THE JOBS they were being paid to do INSTEAD of getting their rocks off on naked pics, perhaps Bernie Madoff could have been caught and countless other sleezebags! This is just another INEFFECTIVE government AGENCY ill-conceived and poorly managed by the buffoons in Washington!

SEC Workers Investigated for Porn-Surfing

More than two dozen SEC employees and contractors over roughly the past two years have faced internal investigations after they were caught viewing pornography on their government computers.

The work computer of one regional supervisor for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission showed more than 1,800 attempts to look up pornography in a 17-day span: "It was kind of distraction per se," he later told investigators.

But he wasn't alone. More than two dozen SEC employees and contractors over roughly the past two years have faced internal investigations after they were caught viewing pornography on their government computers, according to records obtained by The Washington Times through the Freedom of Information Act and other public documents.

The activities of porn-surfing SEC workers, a small fraction of the overall work force, have been serious enough to warrant a mention in each of the past four semiannual reports sent to Congress by the SEC's office of inspector general.

In response to the open records request by The Washington Times, the inspector general's office provided more than 150 pages of records and transcripts on the investigations, but declined to identify the employees involved. The office noted that disclosure of the employees' names "could conceivably subject them to harassment and annoyance in the conduct of their official duties and private lives."

Allan Bachman, education manager for the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, said such problems are hardly unique to the SEC. He also said the findings are troubling aside from "the egregious nature of what they're doing."

"They're simply just stealing time," he said. "They're getting paid to do something that they're not supposed to be doing."
