This level of disingenuousness is why I, and many others, have so little respect for your opinions.

Let's see, on one hand you can go through an investigative process, fueled by media outrage (read up on negative outcome bias) and possibly be fired and lose your benefits. On the other hand you can retire and not deal with all that bullshit and secure your pension and benefits. Seems to me the "easy way out" is actually the smart way out. Of course, the really smart way out is to not say something so insanely stupid in the first place.

No, if you are fired for cause you do not get your benefits in many (most?) instances, hence the smart move being to retire.
