SEC Employees Viewed Porn While Rome (and Wall Street) Burned
By Megan Carpentier 3/23/10 3:03 PM

Well, we knew that SEC employees weren’t policing the Lehman Brothers or sharing information on its collapse with the Fed and they weren’t getting Goldman to disclose how much money Tim Geithner got AIG to pay them from the U.S. Treasury in a timely fashion, and they certainly weren’t issuing rules to allow them to enforce the 2003 settlement with investment banks over deliberately skewed market analysis. But today, we finally know what SEC employees were doing for the last couple of years. They were viewing pornography.

According to John Cook at Gawker:

Now we’ve obtained reports of 16 investigations into porn-surfing by SEC employees and contractors (one of them is a woman!), including one man who said his daily porn viewing at work was limited to “no longer than an hour and a half a day.”

And that’s only 16 of the two dozen caught over the last two years.
