SEC Porn Aficionados Have Not Been Fired
The Washington Post is reporting that the porn-lovin’ employees of the SEC have not been fired. Here’s the breakdown:
Of the 28 employees investigated for accessing inappropriate images and Web sites, eight resigned and six were suspended for periods lasting one to 14 days, the inspector general, H. David Kotz, said in an letter Tuesday to Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa). Five were issued formal reprimands, six were issued informal counseling or warning letters, and three are facing disciplinary action.
Five contractors who were investigated were removed from their contracts, Kotz added.
The SEC comes up with different numbers, but they also add up to no firings.
The chairman of the SEC sent a memo to staffers Friday stating that anyone who violates the agency’s computer rules will be fired, but the world is still waiting to hear why people haven’t already been canned.
