Summary: The company known as Sirius 'Open Source' has stolen money of many workers; today we share audio of management at the pension provider admitting behaviour to that effect

THE news will be full of discussions about banks later today. People cannot access their own accounts, businesses cannot pay their workers, and -- as just noted -- two or three banks have already been suspended (some over the weekend). The time seems right to continue with our series about how Sirius plundered not just my pension but also colleagues' or, as it seems on the surface, put the pension money in its own pockets (I can think of 3 people who conspired to do this) instead of a pension fund, in effect embezzling workers and falsifying payslips. As readers may recall from December, there were incidents of payslips not being sent out at all (for long periods of time, including for months before I resigned).



Over the next few weeks we'll share more information about what happened. The lesson for the general public is, check whether what employers say about pensions is true and get in contact with pension providers to verify you're not being lied to (validation of claims is imperative).

"In some ways it feels like 2008 re-enacted, except now they blame Russia, China, pandemic, "crypto" etc."Of all the payslips I do have, in about 60 of them I have evidence of pensions being contributed to; but that's false, as the company did not pass the money and former colleagues were similarly embezzled. Played out in the video above (from a 55-minute audio) is 0-1:20, 1:50-, 2:30-5:40, 11:50-20:00, 21:18-22:08, 22:15-, 26:30-36:30, 39:40-, 41:55-51:00, 51:10-. I basically skip the pauses (waiting on the line), some personally-identifying details/codes and towards the end I note that even though the manager said she'd contact me "today" (6 days ago) it never happened. They don't seem to consider embezzlement impacting many employees important enough to deal with (just yet). Seeing the nature of the news right now (failing banks), it'll probably be hard to compel them to prioritise our case at this time.

In some ways it feels like 2008 re-enacted, except now they blame Russia, China, pandemic, "crypto" etc. As for Sirius, the company will probably vanish soon. Will any of the managers who conspired to steal money be prosecuted (or held accountable some other way)?
