Well, my retirement was in fact stolen from me, and what I did is what anyone that happens to and doesn't just curl up and die will do also, which is start over from scratch.

Lots of folks say this or that is illegal or has to be thus and so by law, but IME only folks that haven't tried to seek satisfaction at the bar by seeking relief from financial depredation by a transnational corporation have such illusions.

I reckon I am in a better economic situation presently than I was as the formal owner of ~$1m in assets, because I don't have any assets any transnational corporation can steal, which is a layer of security most people have no idea they lack.

Thanks!
