Summary: Today's video mostly covers part 3 of the series while stressing the relevance to Free software and the British government; Sirius 'Open Source' did play a big role in adoption of Free software in the UK, so its crimes against staff (that worked on government computer systems) matter a lot, except the British police prefers to overlook this matter

THE pension fraud at Sirius was a serious crimes and the perpetrators of the crime have not been punished yet. For context, this is a company that once upon a time sponsored the Free Software Foundation (FSF) for several consecutive years and wasn't reluctant to put GNU logos in its Web site.

"This cannot possibly end well unless the perpetrators are held accountable. All of them."Things soured over the years. A decade ago I went to a meeting which helped secure a very important deal for the company. I'd rather not name the client, but let's just say it supervises (or is in charge of) the people who run Action Fraud -- basically the very same folks who turned down my report of a crime, a crime committed not only against myself. This is confirmed, it's not merely a suspicion.

Action Fraud, what about action? Where's Action Fraud?

Are they trying to hide something?

It has been three weeks already and they're not even responding to my elected representative, who (to her credit!) seems eager to get to the bottom of it.

The video above is a verbal update on the issue. We still have a lot of material left to publish and many steps remaining to explore, bodies to escalate to, issues to scrutinise etc. This cannot possibly end well unless the perpetrators are held accountable. All of them. Facilitators are another matter as they're only indirectly culpable. ⬆
