David Kiely, an investment manager with Macquarie Private Wealth, has inadvertently shot to internet fame and discovered its accompanying pitfalls just as quickly, one of which involves the question of his job's security.

The stockbroker was captured viewing images of the aforementioned Kerr in the background of a live cross with the Seven Network, during which his colleague Martin Lakos was filmed discussing a decision by the Reserve Bank to keep interest rates on hold yesterday.

The clip, which has already garnered 77,000 hits on YouTube and 58,000 views on The Australian's ITS site, sees Kiely scrolling through a series of photos of Kerr that were snapped at a GQ shoot. He is apparently alerted to the fact that his monitor is visible to the cameras filming behind him by another colleague. Amazingly, Kiely turns to look at the camera, which has also helpfully zoomed in on him, immediately allowing himself to be identified.

Channel Seven received complaints from viewers, and has stated that they have raised their concerns with the bank, which has in turn assured them that "they are taking appropriate action" regarding the "unacceptable use of technology" and dealing with the matter "internally".

Kiely was unavailable for comment, but it is rumored he has been "sacked". Macquarie's human resource and senior bank executives are expected to attend a series of meetings on the matter this week.
