Macquarie Bank launched an investigation earlier this year, after a client services officer was seen on live TV opening up photos on his work PC monitor of a scantily-dressed Miranda Kerr, the Australian supermodel.

Australia's 7 News was interviewing a senior Macquarie private wealth professional on the subject of Oz interest rates Tuesday, when, in the background, the client services officer (clearly unaware that he was on live TV) opened some pics from Ms Kerr's recent GQ shoot. It looks as if he was tipped off by a colleague that he was being filmed, as the the client services officer quickly closed down the pictures and turned somewhat guiltily to the camera.

Initially suspending the employee, David Kiely, pending a probe, Macquarie eventually slapped his wrist and kept him on the payroll - thanks in no small part to the Save Dave campaign started by Here Is The City.
