Special Report: America's Looming Pension Crisis - It's Worse Than You Imagine - Ted Siedle, Stephanie Pomboy (Video)
In this 23 April 2025 video, host Adam Taggart talks with Stephany Pomboy and Ted Siedle about how America’s pensions are in big trouble. Many are underfunded vs. their payout commitments. Many are being recklessly managed, overinvested in far too speculative assets for the safety of their constituents.
Ted Siedle is a former SEC attorney. His firm, Benchmark Financial Services, Inc. has pioneered over $1 trillion in forensic investigations of the money management industry. He’s nationally recognized as an authority on pensions and investment management matters, having testified before the Senate Banking Committee regarding fund scandals and is an expert in various Madoff-related and other litigations.
In 2017, he secured the largest SEC whistleblower award in history of $48 million, and in 2018, the largest CFTC award in history at $30 million.
