As for "good for society," society is an abstract concept. Societies cannot be harmed, only individuals.

As for "defrauding a pension fund" a pension fund is an abstract concept. Pension funds cannot be defrauded, only individuals who have invested in pension funds.

Therefore, it is morally neutral to defraud a pension fund.

Wow, this reasoning makes me feel so much better!

As for "defrauding a pension fund" a pension fund is an abstract concept. Pension funds cannot be defrauded, only individuals who have invested in pension funds.

Individuals own shares of the pension fund. When you steal from that fund, you are injuring the rights of those individuals. Labelling such a crime as "defrauding a pension fund" or what have you is nothing more than convenient shorthand for saying "defrauding the following 1000 people who own shares in this fund."
