NOW: Pensions Finally Sends the Letters It Has Been Promising (in Vain) for Several Months Regarding Fraud at Sirius 'Open Source'

Summary: Having just contacted NOW: Pensions (and several times more this past week), while moreover working on 3 leads at the same time, they finally (belatedly) gave a real assurance

Today we'll share a bunch of photographic evidence regarding crimes of Sirius 'Open Source', a firm that claims to be Britain's "most respected" firm in this domain/area ('Open Source'). Of course it's a lie. Not just the part about "respected"...



"They kept lying to cover up prior lies, in effect lying to me like half a dozen times already."Half a day ago I sent the following E-mail message to NOW: Pensions. About an hour ago I finally received a letter addressed to my wife and I. After nearly 3 months!!! Months of endless remainders after repeated lies.

Here is the E-mail I sent last night:

A few days ago Standard Life sent a whole bunch of us a formal letter concluding that Sirius had engaged in pension fraud and stole money from us for many years. This is a criminal matter. This is now formalised.

My wife and I are coming to collect our funds from NOW: Pensions this week. Please specify the time that best suits you. We live not far from your office.

Suffice to say, repeated lying by your staff -- including by managers -- will be duly noted. We trust neither you nor Sirius.

The sad thing is that pension providers have helped the perpetrators of crimes, covering up for them instead of working to protect the victims, who are the people's whose money is actually making its way into the accounts of reckless gamblers at the pension firms. Who do you work for? Are you working for employers who commit crimes instead of employees (whose money you are taking)?

Silence on this matter won't help you. Au contraire. Please respond today.


They kept lying to cover up prior lies, in effect lying to me like half a dozen times already. It's circular and when challenged on the lies, more lies follow. Those people are handling (gambling with) people's money. Trillions of dollars are managed by those sorts of firms.

As victims, we can progress along some lines. Standard Life, which we'll tackle separately later, tried victim-blaming (we have this on record). That's akin to saying to a rape victim that it is his/her fault, e.g. "why didn't you sense s/he'd rape you after the date?"

Many technical people suspected something was amiss and when phoning Standard Life we were only obstructed, so in effect Standard Life allowed the fraud to carry on. Standard Life cannot simply pretend to have not benefited from this.

"Standard Life cannot simply pretend to have not benefited from this."Forgive my tone (rants) or at least understand the cynicism after being secretly robbed for years by my employers whom I foolishly trusted, as did my colleagues (they were robbed too). The main criminal, the ringleader so to speak, now hides in some 'basement' (by the looks of it, a tiny apartment) somewhere not far from the Gates Foundation. Well, all the doors are closing in on him and gradually, over time, those who facilitated and collaborated, are paying the high price.

Below is the letter that literally came through the door less than an hour ago (at the time of writing).
