This is the result of a 20% return on a mandatory pension investment. I shouldn’t call it an investment. It’s a tax! Many seniors are desperate and get nothing from their wonderful government after paying into this scam for 50 years. .

Another crime in progress thwarted and an admitted habitual criminal caught red-handed, taken off the streets due to the vigilance of another of the community’s Good Samaritans. - Well done!
