Quinn Insurance in Administration

[Main Street]

So far the  evidence presented are little more than Garda whispers. One such whisper is £20k being the fee paid for that prolonged campaign of intimidation, including kidnapping, torture and death threats. That seems a bit cheap?   Has Quinn Bet opened a book yet on the list of likely paymaster suspects? I'd hazard a guess that the Gardai will eventually state there is not enough evidence to prosecute anybody.

It was reported that is was 20k per attack/incident.

The Sunday World is a rag in many ways, but isn't far off the mark in relation to crime.

"From the beginning, it was anti-establishment and broke important political, crime and social stories. Its success was also based on provocative and celebrity columnists"

The odds are shortening all the time on the info coming out....the paymaster, the son, the thugs who carried out this dispicable act, and up to 70 other forms of violence and intimidation in recent years. The net is widening as we speak if laptops and phones were taken from Dublin Jimmys escape bolt hole.

Sean Quinn now appears to have a lost any support he would have had in the wider community. What a fall from grace. To lose your business you spent years building is one think, but to have lost all credibility in wider society is something else altogether.

Bit like Pablo in Narcos.

The irish media are some spoofers. Lining up to be on TV to tell us all that they knew about "dublin jimmy" yet Google his now famous name and you'll barely find a mention of him (prior to this last few weeks). Likewise you'll find hardly anything about what's been going on in ballyconnel for years. Yet today these spoofers know everything and even question what gardai were doing.

He was named on the front page of the Sunday World over 5 years ago as the chief suspect. Libel laws and probably more importantly fear of reprisal would have forbid many from speaking out against such an unsavoury and dangerous character.

There's definitely a Netflix series in this that's for sure.

Would you be happy if the story was true that "Dublin Jimmy" left a treasure trove of information on his laptop, so that the actual paymaster may be identified, and hopefully arrested and jailed?

But if obvious the paymaster has a load of money which means he probably employed a lot of local people in the area so he's a good lad really!

Dublin Jimmy apparently earned over €1 million from the paymaster for the attacks on the 5 directors according to this article. Who could possibly afford those type of figures, most people will not earn that type of money over their lifetime to feed their families never mind afford paying it to hitmen to intimidate and physically damage other people.

Doesn't everyone need €30k a month to live on?

Yes I would, however everyone is looking for a bogeyman. I don't believe there is this one "paymaster" as they like to call it. Time will tell, maybe I am wrong and if I am I will happily admit it. I hope the thugs involved get whats coming to them thats for sure.
