SEC Regulators Watched Porn While Economy Tanked
A new government report found that while the economy was collapsing, many high-level regulators at the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is charged with overseeing the financial industry, were busy watching porn. "The investigation, which was conducted by the SEC's internal watchdog at the request of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), found 31 serious offenders over the past two and a half years," ABC News reported. "Seventeen of the offenders were senior SEC officers with salaries ranging from $100,000 to $220,000 per year." The offenders didn't just access porn; they buried themselves in it. One offender accessed sites such as youporn, skankwire, and naughty.com 16,000 times in only one month; another spent eight hours a day accessing porn from his office computer, completely filling his hard drive with pornographic images. "Ironically, the report says most of these cases began in 2008, just as the financial system began to collapse," ABC News reported. "The same SEC officers who should have been safeguarding the economy were instead spending their working hours surfing the Internet for pornography, and the problem hasn't stopped."
