SEC Workers Watching More than Wall Street

They’re watching porn online. Our tax dollars at work.

WSJ: We’re usually not up late enough to watch Jay or Dave, Conan or Jimmy or Craig. But we know the genre well enough to know monologue-fodder when we see it.And that takes us, of all places, to the SEC. The work computer of one regional supervisor for the SEC showed more than 1,800 attempts to look up pornography in a 17-day span: “It was kind of distraction per se,” the supervisor later told investigators, in what must qualify as the understatement of the year, at least so far.

But the problem wasn’t limited to a single rogue employee. Hardly. According to this Washington Times story, 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 through the Freedom of Information Act and other public documents.

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.

“Any level of misuse of government resources for inappropriate purposes is a matter of serious concern, which is why the SEC provides regular and comprehensive training on the proper use of the Internet,” SEC spokesman John Nester said.

Neil Cavuto talked about this earlier on his show.
