Network World Fusion, 01/21/05

Okay, you online-poker playing teleworkers, Empire Poker's ratted you out.

In Washington DC, where large numbers of Federal employees have teleworked this week to avoid Inauguration Day preparations and several inches of snow, Empire Poker's seen a notable increase in traffic to its poker site, with a 28% spike on Inauguration Day.

The Washington Times story, "Homebound locals ante up for inaugural," quotes Empire Poker president Ron Burke:

"More federal employees are telecommuting and playing some poker on the side. Many accounts that are only active in the evening [this week] are being used during business hours."

What's OPM got to say about this?
