At the SEC, all they thought about was SEX.
The country's top financial watchdogs turned out to be horndogs who spent hours gawking at porn Web sites as the economy teetered on the brink, according to a memo released Thursday night.
The shocking findings include Securities and Exchange Commission senior staffers using government computers to browse for booty and an accountant who tried to access the raunchy sites 16,000 times in one month.
Their titillating pastime was discovered during 33 probes of employees looking at explicit images in the past five years, said the memo obtained by The Associated Press.
It says 31 of those probes occurred in the 2-1/2 years since the country's financial system nearly crashed.

This problem is by no means limited to the SEC —
00ops-I meant to continue by saying that EVERY Federal, State, and local agency should be investigated for this issue—there are so many government workers and there is not enough to do — boredom sets in and this is one result!
Next thing you know, we'll find out that PeeWee Herman use to moonlight as the revolving doorman at Goldman Sachs.
Moral Turpitude is our number one problem. IMHO
100 on porn.
3,200 on Facebook, or E-harmony.
350 on e-Bay.
‘The SEC, ‘When It Really Has To Be Investigated Years Late’
You are correct. During the Clinton years they found porn surfers using whitehouse computers. We never heard what happened to them. Probably a service medal of some sort. ACLU lawyer in Virginia found to have kiddie porn stored on the computer of his small son.
Wait a minute...there are federal employees who post here who have told us that most federal workers really work and aren’t overpaid. I haven’t been mislead, have I?
A far greater infraction would be visiting FR. /s
“Moral Turpitude is our number one problem. IMHO”
You are so right. Twill be the reason for our downfall.
Madoff snickers.
At least they have a lawyer. He can take everyone's case pro boner.
