Ridiculous, and totally unsustainable.

The S/F govt authority that allotted this man a million dollar annual pension may be in violation, and subject to prosecution, under several laws.

These actions clearly affect interstate commerce and trade, and should be prosecuted under the Hobbs Act. The Hobbs Act 18 U.S. Code § 1951, passed in 1946, is a federal law that prohibits robbery or extortion, or attempted robbery or extortion, that affects interstate or foreign commerce.

The Hobbs Act originally was designed to target racketeering in labor-management disputes that were common at the time.

More recently the Hobbs Act has been used to prosecute and jail politicians involved in activities that impair an area's economic viability.
