A Ban! Seriously....

I'd love to hear their phone calls to one and other today over this Ban, there'd be some laughing done that's for sure.

Jail would be too good for them.

But we all know, nothing will happen...

Nope. Crimeline shows plenty of footage from cases that go to trial.

I really hope the person with the phone makes a complaint.

You can see why Drumm et al were able to run rings around him:mad:

Sorry to keep going on about the Vanity Fair article, but I loved their take on Neary's interview:

On that night, Ireland’s financial regulator, a lifelong Central Bank bureaucrat in his 60s named Patrick Neary, came live on national television to be interviewed. ..... looked as if he had been dragged from a hole into which he badly wanted to return. He wore an insecure little mustache, stammered rote answers to questions he had not been asked, and ignored the ones he had been asked.

...Now the Irish people finally caught a glimpse of the guy meant to be safeguarding them: the crazy uncle had been sprung from the family cellar. ...“What happened was that everyone in Ireland had the idea that somewhere in Ireland there was a little wise old man who was in charge of the money, and this was the first time they’d ever seen this little man,” says McCarthy. “And then they saw him and said, Who the **** was that??? Is that the ****ing guy who is in charge of the money??? That’s when everyone panicked.”

Breaking News

A bank official today confessed that he had failed to live up to the standards expected by his employer.

He stated; 'In all my years in the banking profession I have not stolen, told lies or behaved as a normal banker'.

His unusual behaviour has been covered up by his employer and the regulator for many years, with many commenting that they had been fooled and could not see how this situation could be possible.

A bank spokesperson commented, 'We don't see how this this situation could have developed right under our noses, how anybody could resist the urge to cheat, deceive, defraud and steal. I assure you that the bank will be holding an investigation into how this could possibly happen and for the employee in question to have got away with this for so long'.

'No stone will be left unturned in our efforts to get to the bottom of this sad state of affairs'.

He went on to state, 'The bank as an organisation wishes to live up to and uphold our reputation and as the public would imagine, this position has caused us some distress and embarrasment. We recognise and understand that this is not the sort of behaviour the public have come to expect from us.'

'The bank wishes to apologise profusely for any misunderstanding and concern this position may have caused to any of our customers or to any members of the pubic at large'.


Clarification: Please note, we will make every effort to ensure no bankers are injured when any stones or rocks are turned over in connection to our efforts in getting to the bottom of this unusual and unacceptable state of affairs.

From the Guardian, Tuesday 14 September 2010

Real IRA says it will target bankers

Exclusive: Republican terror group vows to resume attacks with banks and bankers now potential targets

I would never advocate violence or terrorism....... it's wrong.

And I would never regard any form of terrorism to be acceptable...... unless perhaps it was terrorists wiping out other terrorists.

Some media commentators have referred to banksters as terrorists....... people who have terrorised a nation via their actions and their recklessness.

As I say.....I would never ever advocate violence..... but by the same token, would there by many who would lose any sleep and feel a sense of loss if those there Real IRA boyos followed through on their threats....... I don't think so.

from: Belfast Telegraph 26 October 2011

'The language used to justify the attacks (of Santander branches in Derry) seems designed to tap into the widespread public animosity towards the banking system since the economic crash and bank bailouts on both sides of the border'.

If by "staged" you mean released with a motive other than just putting the information in the public domain, then, no, you're not the only one.

I would.

Ireland has a bad enough reputation at the moment without seeing bankers murdered by terrorists as the main world news headlines.

Paramilitaries have previously harnessed the feeling of powerlessness in working communities when civil society failed to address their concerns in order to misrepresent themselves as saviours of the community the failure of civil society to address the concerns of the wider population and its apparent inability to deliver justice does present a dangerous opportunity to paramilitaries to curry favour through acts of violence.

While I would not welcome such actions I can see where you're coming from Joe

27th March 2013 - The chairman of AIB, David Hodgkinson, said that 2012 had seen further progress in the “re-establishment of AIB as a stable, soundly functioning bank”.

1st November 2012 - Mr Hodgkinson will receive a relatively modest €500,000 a year, the maximum a bank executive can earn at a bank here supported by the Irish state.

'In 2005 and 2006, HSBC processed about 1,800 U-turn transactions through a correspondent account at JP Morgan Chase & Co. The report quoted an email from HSBC Middle East Deputy Chairman David Hodgkinson saying that HSBC’s U.S. unit was “unwilling to process them for reputational risk reasons.” '

'.....reporters and photographers have chronicled, from both sides of the border, the savage struggle among many Mexican drug cartels for control over the lucrative drug trade to the U.S. The conflict has left thousands dead, paralysed whole cities with fear and spanned a culture of corruption reaching the upper levels......'

'Money laundering is a crime. Aiding and abetting terrorists is a crime'

If those die-hard morons had any strategic clue about their cause they would have dispatched some of the suits long ago.

If that did happen it might show the world that Irish people are fighting back.

There will be no trial for Drumm or his friends. Of that I have no doubt.
The Govt are afraid of what they might disclose in court.

If there were going to be a case(s) they would have happened already.

Don't hold your breath people, Court is only for little men.

It's not so much the €500,000, doubtlessly more in 2013, but the fact that evidently an association to money laundering for Mexican drug cartels and their on average of around 10,000 murders per annum, and to other entities which are associated with terrorism, does not, if you're in 'the boys club', preclude you from being passed as fit and proper by the regulator for a big job in banking, end evidently neither does AIB, an Irish 'pillar bank' which is fully owned by the Irish Taxpayer.

Whereas most 'normal', some might say, right thinking people...... probably think it should.

Can it be possible that the Irish taxpayer thinks it acceptable for someone with his sort of baggage to be Chairman of a Taxpayer owned bank...... I know I don't think it is ?

At least just a few weeks ago 'Lord' Stephen Green, who was, whilst he was also also at HSBC associated with the same, and then went on to become UK Trade Minister, had the good grace to resign

from: Daily Mail, 19th June 2013

Ex-HSBC boss who oversaw bank as it laundered money for terrorists quits as a minister after scathing report

However, his continued presence in a key role promoting UK businesses overseas would have been a serious embarrassment to the Coalition as it seeks to reform the banking sector.

The executive who ran HSBC while it laundered money for drug barons and terrorists yesterday quit his new role as a trade minister.

The departure of Lord Green came on the same day that the government pledged to bring in laws to jail bosses of failed lenders.

Trade Minister Lord Green 'has serious questions to answer' over HSBC money laundering

Today, a Treasury spokesman for the Labour Party challenged Lord Green to reveal if he knows anything about the scandal, which has led to the resignation of the bank’s head of compliance.

“The US Senate sub-committee’s report, which suggests that HSBC allowed money laundering by drug cartels and possibly even terrorists, is so serious that the bank’s head of compliance has already resigned,” Chris Leslie said. He added that Lord Green “now has serious questions to answer about what he knew and when”.
