  Yes, "steal" is definitely the wrong word here. Being unable to pay a debt due to bankruptcy is not theft. If it were, there would be lots of people in prison for not being able to pay their credit card bills.

    That's absolutely true, it's called fraud. Agreeing to terms you know you can't live up to. I wonder if one could do that, sue the old politicians for the difference, given that they did not honestly account for the pensions. This has the advantage of falling under criminal law, so firstly, doing that as part of an organization is not going to protect the individual that did it. Secondly if they get convicted and don't (or can't) pay, they will go to prison.
