The Porn Surfer Gang

The NYT is running a goofy puff piece on the notorious porn surfers, the SEC.

I have no idea what the purpose of this piece is other than some kind of bad PR effort by some outside PR agency trying to prove they are earning the money the SEC is paying them.

As for real work, SEC incompetence, harassment of traders and political favoritism continues.

They continue to protect their inner club, they still haven't told us who the top "examiner" at the SEC is who spent most of his time surfing for porn. They haven't gone near what appears to be insider trading in Congress. But they do have time to pose for this ridiculous photo shoot. The only thing that makes any real sense about this photo shoot is that new SEC head of enforcement, Robert Khuzami, must be doing some early ground work for an eventual political run.

For the record, from the left are, Ken Lench, Daniel M. Hawke, Cheryl Scarboro, Khuzami, Tom Sporkin, Robert Kaplan and Lorin Reisner. Since they won't identify who the porn surfers are in the group, if you run into anyone from this crowd, I wouldn't shake any of their hands.
