Who needs an interest rate update when there’s porn
The next time someone from your office is doing a live cross on TV, make sure you don’t have porn on your computer screen.
Dr Mumbo would love to know who this unsuspecting staffer is to the left hand side of the screen as Macquarie Private Wealth’s Martin Lakos gives Seven News an interest rate update.
The staffer in the background can be seen opening up pictures of naked women, including what appears to be a near-nude photo of Miranda Kerr. It isn’t until the end of the live cross that he looks around and realises he’s got company…
The incident has already been picked up by several news outlets in the US and UK, with the bank forced to a release a statement saying: “Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology and the issue arising from today’s live cross on Seven News is being dealt with internally.”
And that folks is the reason why porn should be consumed in the privacy of your own home.
Some of the media coverage so far:
- What a cheeky banker – The Sun
- TV interview catches banker looking at near-nude photos on computer – The Guardian
- Banker viewing topless women caught out on Australian TV – The Telegraph (UK)
- Macquarie Banker Caught With Naked Miranda Kerr Photos On Australian TV – Huffington Post
- Red-faced bank worker caught ogling naked model on live TV news link – Daily Mail
- Bank man caught clicking sexy Miranda Kerr pics during live news broadcast – NYDailyNews.com
- Aussie banker views nudes in live TV feed – New Zealand Herald
- Seven’s rates cross very hot news – The Australian
- Interest in assets rather than rates – The Sydney Morning Herald
- Macquarie worker caught looking at nude photos on live TV – Ninemsn
- Banker busted live on TV looking at naked model Miranda Kerr – The Daily Telegraph
Seems like he will have all the time in the world to enjoy porn in the privacy of his own home from now on.

Is this porn? Unless I’m mistaken it looks to me like she is not exposing any of her “privates” and is all in the best possible taste.

They’re always banking, these guys. Comes from the machismo environment IMO.

Did I say banking?

Why on earth is the camera operator framing the shot with the spokesperson to the RHS of screen? It looks like they’re intentionally putting the ‘porn’ in the shot! He even zooms in as the cross closes. Something fishy here.

Looks like a set up to me.

I have a feeling this was carefully considered and well planned.
I am sure he was a disgruntled employee looking for a way to seek revenge on his employer.
It worked.

@Scott Pettet
Gees, ok, follow carefully….
The video above is shot by someone using a camera phone – OFF THE TV. you can tell because the image is distorted. So the zooming/framing is intentional.
The original footage that went to air is here:

it’s hardly porn … it’s not like he’s whacking off to redtube or anything

Scott – I think you’ll find someone has actually shot a close-up of the TV screen in order to show the banker in the background.
I reckon someone has spotted it on their IQ, rewound it and got the video camera out….. gold.

Miranda Kerr should at least visit the guy and apologise for being hot enough to get fired over

Valerio… close… it was a Tivo…. it’s a bugger to get video off the Tivo and onto a PC and then edit it etc.
iPhone was easy and quick. I’ve linked on my YouTube page to the better quality version from someone else.
And yes the zooming was deliberate… mainly for clarity

@Pete O Geez… condescending are we?
How am I supposed to know this was not the actual TV footage, as is suggested by the story? Perhaps the video should be the actual footage that went to air, which would more accurately reflect the story?
Hard to believe someone just ‘happened’ to be Johnny on the spot with the cam phone. The whole thing looks like a set up.

how brilliant would it be if it was a GQ (apparently where the pics were from) stunt?! Not that I suspect that for a minute but just saying..
Could the banker become the next Corey? I mean how well did it go for Kevin when it emerged that he had been in a strip club.
It’s hardly a beatup, it’s just a good chuckle at a time when we are all a little unhappy about bankers.

Is it any worse than having the GQ MAG on your desk. What a beat up. Great publiicity for GQ though.

those are the same scum that got millions of bail out money in America, the UK and Australia. Good folks like Bernie Madoff, Lehman Brothers and Richard Fuld…Good honest bankers are all the same no matter which country they hail from. no he won’t be fired ,probable get a bigger bonus!!!
Macquarie Private Wealth’s Martin Lakos proves there is no need to make money for clients-’cause Martin Lakos makes money even when his team watch filth.!!!!
