The ex post facto provision, if that is what you are referring, applies only to criminal law, and not to any collateral civil consequences such as losing an employment pension stemming from the same criminal conduct.

The constitution doesn't mention any "only to criminal law" qualifier in the provision.

It just says...

No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

Hell, I'd probably be in prison for the rest of my fucking life if government assholes could make ex post facto laws...

And the rest of you would follow.
