For positive claims with finite variance and c≤λμ, the classical risk model has ruin probability one from any finite capital. At claim times, surplus increments are independent copies of cT−X with mean c/λ−μ. Negative mean sends their partial sums to minus infinity by the strong law of large numbers. At zero mean, the increments have finite nonzero variance. For every fixed K, the central limit theorem gives limiting probability 1/2 of a partial sum below −K. The probability of unboundedness below is therefore at least 1/2; as a tail event it has probability zero or one by the Kolmogorov zero-one law, and hence one.
