Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate: A Long Story Merits Many Videos

Video download link | md5sum c00ff3859f267c20af0e44af8b6a439c The Series on Sirius Crimes Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0



Summary: Today we start a string of videos and short texts about the company my wife and I left in December (we resigned just over 3 months ago); as it turns out, the company had been committing crimes for years before we left

THE "Pensiongate" mini-series is becoming a lot more extensive and far longer than we first estimated. We find out more and more things as one scandal helps unfold another. As such, this morning we started a dedicated Wiki page, Crimes of Sirius Open Source -- a complementary subset of Sirius 'Open Source', which started back in December.



For those who have missed some of the context, here are just several of the posts that covered this matter:

  1. Sirius ‘Open Source’ and the Money Missing From the Pension
  2. Sirius Finished
  3. Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate: An Introduction
  4. When the Pension Vanishes
  5. Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate (Sirius Financial Crisis): Company May Have Squandered/Plundered the Pensions of Many People
  6. Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate: Pension Providers That Repeatedly Lie to the Clients and Don't Respond to Messages
  7. NOW: Pensions Lies to Its Customers and Protects Abusers
  8. Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate: It's Beginning to Look Like a Criminal Matter and Sirius is in Serious Trouble


The video above explains the motivation and emphasises that we'll try to cover this a lot in the form of videos, delivering perhaps a dozen more parts, including bits of evidence. Video will be a convenient means by which to deliver the material in a privacy-respecting matter.

"The video above explains the motivation and emphasises that we'll try to cover this a lot in the form of videos, delivering perhaps a dozen more parts, including bits of evidence."It's sort of sad that we've come to this, but if you deal with people who defrauded not only you but also your colleagues, then it becomes imperative to speak out and do something about it. Some people have asked me to pursue a legal opinion on this. As a side note, several people say they love the term "Mr. Kink", which does not infringe anyone's privacy yet says a lot.

"So where is all that money now? Put aside and used for the 4-person DisneyWorld trips?"The journey required to write the series is mostly free -- free as in beer/gratis. The material is in the public domain, e.g. the Companies House. It's free. Except all the times we phoned pension providers -- quite an expensive endeavour when you do it for 2-3 months. The upside is that along the way we learned a lot about how the system works and how it is abused. It's cheaper to learn that on one's own. For instance, when my wife and I demand the money from both our accounts the providers are pretending it's not possible (it is; with the high tax applied) and if they say no, or intentionally mislead clients, one can threaten to sue (we shared a record to show how they obstruct people who exercise their legal rights). But upon further inspection it turned out to be a lot worse because the money had already been stolen. So where is all that money now? Put aside and used for the 4-person DisneyWorld trips?
