These pension deals had a telling name, however. They were called “pension risk transfers,” and therein was their problem. The companies selling their pension obligations were transferring to another entity the risks associated with making these payments for years to come. A good thing for the companies, of course, but beneficial to the pensioners? Not so fast.

The benefits these companies reaped from the transactions were clear: a short-term monetary gain paid to them by Athene and the long-term benefit of not having to cover the payments they’d promised their retirees.

“.. by 2021, white-collar crime prosecutions stood at an annualized rate of 4,727, or roughly half the level of twenty years earlier. Of those cases, only about 10 % were against financial institutions; more cases involved identity theft and fraud in federal programs and healthcare.”

Did we catch this? During the press availability in the Oval Office today, May 30, 2025, Elon Musk—on his "last day" as head of the fake "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)"—appropriated Hannah Arendt’s phrase "the banality of evil" to describe routine government bureaucracy.

Questa montagna è tale,
Che sempre al cominciar di sotto è grave,
E quanto uom più va su e men fa male.
– DANTE: Il PurgatorioPurgatorio, IV. 88–90: ‘This mountain is so formed that it is always wearisome when one begins the ascent, but becomes easier the higher one climbs.'
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) - Illustration by Gustave Dore (1832-1883))
