Waiting for Godot: Let's report fraud by Sirius; To people overseen by Sirius clients



Summary: Today we conclude this week's series, which explained how Sirius isn't just funded by the British government but is also protected by the British government; HMRC is not responding to fraud reports (sent exactly 4 weeks ago) and Action Fraud, overseen by a client of Sirius (since 2013), does not seem to have even opened the Pension Fraud complaint (it sent a template response after exactly 4 weeks*)

WHEN we finally reach Tuesday or Wednesday (next week) it will be 4 weeks since my Member of Parliament contacted Action Fraud regarding the pension fraud complaint that Action Fraud is ignoring. Action Fraud has still not bothered responding to her. I'm not the sole victim of this fraud. Former colleagues were robbed as well (a lot of money was covertly stolen). For the time being we're closing this series and will post another further update/s anew. This isn't the end. This is only the beginning of a rather broad political scandal. Can one trust a government to regulate itself or its contractors? Can one complain to a government about abuse against its own workers? This in many ways resembles the EPO scandals. The EPO even invented its own Ombuds office or "EPO's Ombuds service", created and controlled by those who spent over a decade committing crimes at the EPO. Such "Ombuds" is farcical; it's an exercise in optics [1, 2, 3] (giving people out there the mere illusion of accountability).

"The EPO even invented its own Ombuds office or "EPO's Ombuds service", created and controlled by those who spent over a decade committing crimes at the EPO."Gaslighting and/or self-induced defeatism (learned helplessness) is a potent weapon leveraged against the impatient and unmotivated. We're neither impatient nor unmotivated, so this will carry on and on until a resolution is found and the perpetrators of the crime are arrested. _____ * Out of business hours on a weekend. It seems safe to assume no actual person sent that.
