More Details on the S.E.C.’s Pornography Problem

3:43 p.m. | Updated
More details have emerged about the Securities and Exchange Commission‘s apparent pornography problem.

Gawker obtained further information about the S.E.C.’s investigation into rampant pornography surfing by employees on their work computers.

The blog writes:

Now we’ve obtained reports of 16 investigations into porn-surfing by S.E.C. 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.”

The sixteen cases reported by Gawker comes after a February article by The Washington Times, which first reported details of the S.E.C.’s internal investigation.

In a semiannual report by the S.E.C.’s internal watchdog to Congress released in December, H. David Kotz, the S.E.C.’s inspector general, outlines numerous cases of misconduct by former and current employees, including two instances of S.E.C. officials using their office computers to view pornography on the Internet.

The real porn at the SEC are company filings created by those with rich sex fantasy lives to target the fundamentally masochistic retail investors. Do investors who regularly hire professional dominatrixes to deal with their fantasies do better in the market?

S.E. XXX-Change Commission

Why are we reporting this as news? I am not saying it should happen, but in this age, its a all too common and an internal matter.

OMG WOMEN LOOK AT PORN!?!?!?! Oh the Humanity!!!

Get over it. That whole ! after woman is so over the top…

Another reason to FOLD the SEC for lacking credibility!!!!

I am sick and tired of having to put up with such scatology taking place amongst such senior SEC government attorneys and accountants while receiving salaries in the hundred of thousands not including many more thousands in benefits which the self-reliant middle class is not aloud under our 8,500 page tax code. This sub rosa chicanery can and should not be tolerated by these otiose clerisy. They should be hung out to dry and exposed as to what they are, elite bilge seeking contagion on government salaries while we self-reliant middle class are expected to understand their need for explicid relaxation on our tax money. VP Biden language shows his inability to conform to what ever religion he claims to belong to. You may not like Bush, but at least he was felicitous.
