[quote]As the country was sinking into its worst financial crisis in more than 70 years, Security and Exchange Commission employees and contractors cruised porn sites and viewed sexually explicit pictures using government computers, an SEC investigation obtained by CNN showed. "During the past five years, the SEC OIG (Office of Inspector General) substantiated that 33 SEC employees and or contractors violated Commission rules and policies, as well as the government-wide Standards of Ethical Conduct, by viewing pornographic, sexually explicit or sexually suggestive images using government computer resources and official time," said a summary of the investigation by the inspector general's office. More than half of the workers made between $99,000 – $223,000. All the cases took place over the past five years. "It is nothing short of disturbing that high-ranking officials within the SEC were spending more time looking at pornography than taking action to help stave off the events that brought our nation's economy to the brink of collapse," said Rep. Darrell Issa. The Republican is a ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. "This stunning report should make everyone question the wisdom of moving forward with plans to give regulators like the SEC even more widespread authority," he said. "Inexplicably, rather than exercise its existing regulatory enforcement authority, SEC officials were preoccupied with other distractions."[/quote][B]Source: [/B][URL]http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/23/sec-staffers-watched-porn-as-economy-crashed/?hpt=T2[/URL]
They were obviously studying the booming porn industry.
I bet they crashed afterwards.
Well that explains a lot.
Er, uh...
Those guys got stiffed.
When the economy is that bad in that long I don't see why not.
Who didn't watch porn as the economy collapsed?
Their dick went up, the economy went down.
Sounds like they were fiddling with themselves as Rome burned.
When the stock market crashes, do you want to be caught with your hands in your pants?
Just a few highlights from the article: "A regional office staff accountant tried to access pornographic websites nearly 1,800 times, using her SEC laptop during a two-week period. She also had about 600 pornographic images saved on her laptop hard drive." "In fact, this attorney downloaded so much pornography to his government computer that he exhausted the available space on the computer hard drive and downloaded pornography to CDs or DVDs that he accumulated in boxes in his office," the inspector general's report said. "Separately, a senior attorney at SEC headquarters admitted to downloading pornography up to eight hours a day, according to the investigation." FUCKING LOL'D
Everyone looks at porn.
Now we know why the economy went to hell in a handbasket. [editline]12:42AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Van-man;21518781]Their dicks went up, the economy went down.[/QUOTE] lol'd
