Who thinks Sean Quinn is a great businessman now?

Thats different though. Quinn is a criminal. A chancer. He let me you and our children pick uo the tab.

He might have millions in switzerland and india but he wont be buried with his money and his legacy and reputation are ruined.

Quinn made a big mistake doing this documentary.

Whatever minor doubt was out there about his involvement in the bad goings-on, he showed his hatred for Kevin Lunney when he had the chance to sympathise.

He let his guard down here big time.

Sean Quinn, what a complete Narcissist.

Fair play to FR Oliver O Reilly said Mafia Godfather Controlling the violence against Kevin Lunney.. He said he was a Compulsive Liar..

Sean Quinn had no remorse. He cried for himself.

For all the deluded boardsies " we are paying 2% levy on insurance because of Sean Quinn insurance failure and he still lives in a mansion after costing the taxpayer millions..

Wow. He came across as seriously fcuked up in the latter stages. Never gave a toss about the kids either. Completely and utterly off his trolley I reckon

For her only minute on screen she showed more bitterness than Sean, she'd fierce hatred for the local priest. He even tried to temper what she said a bit.

Funny how the priest never named Quinn, I think, in his sermon. But Quinn named himself as the subject of the priest's sermon.

My wife and I just had a conversation along those lines.

Sean Quinn may have been the most honest business man going for 40 years, in his opinion and in the opinion of many up there, but when push came to shove and the consequences of his own poor judgement came lapping around the door, he did deliberately dishonest things.

That makes him a dishonest man forever and a crook for conspiring to bury those assets that he knew they were coming for.

Let's be honest here, Sean quinn owed Anglo the 4bn because they approved dodgy loans to prop up the share price. The taxpayer is only on the hook because the government decided to nationalise Anglo. The taxpayer wasn't in the picture at all when Sean quinn was up to his shenanigans.

Anglo should have been let fail and their administrators would have done exactly the same as ibrc did, so Sean quinns theory of some dublin/govt conspiracy wouldn't hold water

If I had of made 5 billion my first move would have been to upgrade that yoke.

I might be down to my last few hidden away million now but my young wife would be hot as sh1t while I strolled round my mansion.

I can't see him loving her for her winning personality either.

Maybe she is the paymaster!

Sure thats the same for anyone who got a mortgage for 300k in thebceltic tiger years but were only earning 30k. Bollix. You cant borrow money or gamble with money you cant repay.

He might need treatment for that addiction.

Its an irish thing to be able to walk away from millions or billions it would seem.

Don't think he once said sorry about any of it.

Without going off on too much of a tangent (I hope), I think there's a fundamental difference between manufacturing and financialisation.

With manufacturing you're making something real out of materials. Whereas with these stock market deals its a kind of conjuring money out of thin air.

The desire to just magic up money through hype or manipulation seems to be corrupting. That kind of financial wizardry is far from the logic of heavy industry.
