SEC Employees Watching Porn At Work Were Making Over $200K Per Year
A reminder of how things work within the SEC.
---
Details emerge from a private lawsuit.
Employees of the Securities and Exchange Commission caught in a porn scandal were on huge six-figure salaries, it has emerged today.
Seventeen of the workers were earning between $99,356 and $222,000 a year.
They were among 33 investigated for downloading pornography on their SEC computers at SEVEN offices around the country.
They were 'counselled and disciplined for accessing pornography', but not one was sacked, according to the lawyer who exposed their behaviour.
The men worked in Denver, Atlanta, Boston; Chicago, Fort Worth, Texas, Los Angeles and Washington.
Last year the Office of Inspector General's investigation revealed between 2005-2010 that:
- A senior attorney admitted downloaded pornographic images to his SEC computer during work hours so frequently that, on some days, he spent eight hours accessing online pornography.
He downloaded so much pornography that he exhausted the available space on the hard drive and downloaded pornography to CDs or DVDs that he accumulated in boxes in his office.
- A regional office staff accountant received more than 16,000 access denials for Internet websites classified by the Commission's Internet filter as either 'sex' or 'pornography' in a one-month period.
'But, as a taxpayer, when somebody's … supposed to be out there protecting us from fraud, etc, and instead what they're doing is wasting our taxpayer dollars, sitting there pleasuring themselves that really upsets me.'

Japan's nuclear crisis now appears worse than the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979 - but not yet as bad as Chernobyl in 1986
Japan PM tells people within 19 miles of plant to stay indoors as radiation reaches levels that could impact human heath
Radioactive wind could reach Tokyo within hours - and radiation levels are already rising in city
Nuclear Regulatory Commission admits it is 'quite possible' radiation could reach the U.S.
'Worst-case scenario' could see 30,000ft winds sending nuclear cloud across Pacific - possibly hitting by Tuesday night

Just like the SEC subpeona-ing UBS over LIBOR manipulation.
You can't make this shit up.
It's like Michael Milken being subpeona'd by Madoff Securities on behalf of client Wendy Gramm.

I'm looking for start money to build bleachers on the sidelines. Will sell seats for insanely high prices & if this global situation explodes as severely as I think it will, it should be very entertaining & there won't be any complaints about seat prices.
