Quinn Insurance in Administration

[seafoid]

I didn't know this :

"To stop him selling, flooding the market and destabilising the bank, Anglo lent him the money to pay the margin calls"

This was the crux of his argument. But he was told to stop buying CFDs but continued to do so.
Sean Quinn thought he was God, he could do no wrong and for manys a year that was true, but then he was faced with the reality that he wasn't God.

There is an element of giving the Gambler more credit to try to recoup his losses about this.

Neither the gambler nor the casino come out of it too well.

The tax payer bailed both out though.

Not exactly. Neither Quinn nor Anglo got anything. The taxpayer bailed out the bondholders.
There are loads of Sean Quinns in the making now. There is going to be another crash to fix inflation.

Heard a bit of his interview on GMU this morning, the fact he claimed in the interview that he is back to being a poor man has made me say "piss off Sean".
Does he really think people are that thick, every man & dog knows that the Quinns are still a wealthy family.

Comes across as very unlikeable, the poor me, when it was all self inflicted, even when he was told to stop buying shares. Blame everybody but himself, especially when they hid millions.

Even if Sean is a workaholic who will never retire, age is against him now he's 75. 

The company he built up is gone from him.

He will have that nagging unhappiness for the rest of his days.

It probably doesn't feel real the cause of his downfall but it's there in the books & records. And that's what the law of the land uses.

He'll never be back, it just looks like he wants to have his say and I suppose he feels if he does that then that is what people will remember. In Ballyconnell and Derrylin maybe, but further a field he's man who gambled it all.

"Heroic" - FFS. It's what a Scientology meeting would look like in Cavan.

I can see where you got your name from.

what would he be worth now?
I know he said he was a poor man now, but that would likely be stretching it.

He is bound to have had some sort of funds stashed away somewhere?

With his patronage and looking after people in a disadvantaged area (Fermanagh, Itchy) , he always struck me as more like a chieftain than a CEO.
