RTE Investigates have some great programmes. Tonights looks great!
That you, Caitriona?
Tell it to the judge Caitriona
When people are down and genuine, many others will rally around them especially family members.
I've been both a receiver of financial help many years ago and also have given help.
If I was in a situation like one of those in the program, I could easily raise €30k - €50k from family/friends.
You're totally correct. We've been totally unfair to Catriona Carey as we haven't expressed our true feelings as to how we'd behave if we were in her company.
Unfortunately, Boards.ie have rules against expressing such behaviours, so we have to behave ourselves. :)
But wouldn't that money raised not be better used to reduce mortgage debt as opposed to giving it to a charlatan. I find it beggar's belief 2 individuals gave €65k to Carey
Here we go 😁
This is a sad day for entrepreneurship in Ireland.
Here is a woman who tried to help distressed homeowners.
what thanks does she get?
people making secret recordings of Telefone calls and secret videos of business meetings - this is simply not fair.
It makes me retch that there is so much schadenfreude on this thread.
.
How so?
Were there legal contracts?!Who created these legal contracts?
Was it her lawyer mate....who isn't a lawyer?
The contracts were broken in any case...did she refund people?
In many cases this is correct, but she is a convicted fraudster.
That is the record of the courts.
And the evidence put forward for these current scams is as watertight as you will ever get. So I really don't think there can be any pity for this fraudster.
The surprise is that she has not been arrested yet and hopefully her details are on record at airports and ports on the entire island.
200k+ on "personal expenses" in two years?! Jaysus
Do you think I should buy a white hatchback BMW or a saloon? Any experience of either? Pros/Cons?
No- Catriona's English cousin- Cat :D
Is she actually a qualified accountant and if so, with which institute? I bet she’s just calling herself an accountant. Anyone know if she went to college after school?
But you would hope someone lending you that kind of money would have sense to ask you to check it's legit, a simple Google of her name any time after 2010 would see she was involved in fraud previously.
That car could end up on Donedeal and be sold, no finance outstanding.
Are you watching the programme now? She spent hundreds of thousands of euros of other people's money living the high life....she was helping herself no one else.
Has she come forward with any evidence she has helped anyone?
Entrepreneurship my arse!
She isn't ...is that legal?!
She should go on The Late Late Show to clear her name.
I am watching the program - it is tabloid journalism at its highest.
to think I pay the license fee for this crap
Seeing the numbers on screen , knowing she funded her lavish lifestyle off others money is horrifying .
She like the female version of The Tinder Swindler .
Look at the facts. You have to be taking the piss.
What thanks does she get?!? Ffs! Lol
That was a let down, it was obvious what she was doing with the money but at least we know Gardai are investigating, I'm still not convinced this investigation is going to yield much.
That video of the meeting in the coffee shop makes my blood boil
Drowning people clutch at straws. To have a smooth-talking con merchant come along and offer them a seemingly plausible way out of their financial mire would be, to some (albeit gullible), an answer to their prayers. This wretch preyed on the vulnerable. Mercilessly. Cunningly. Having been in a financial quagmire myself, I would have more than likely fallen for her spiel. St Patrick didn’t drive all the snakes out of Ireland. Some are still here, driving fancy white BMW’s, wearing expensive lycra & poisoning people’s lives. Shame on you Caitriona Carey & shame on those who defend you.
In what way? It was all factual.
Simple question who did she help?
500k plus (I am guessing tip if the iceberg) gone from people who were so desperate they gave a convicted fraudster money.
That's a TROLL if I ever saw one, I'd ignore that utter Shyte 😉
Spoil yourself, get the two models 😉
Nah-
"So Catriona, how are you coping with those nasty boardsie people who begrudge you your lavish lifestyle at the expense of the vulnerable of society?"
She paid that back on her way up before his Lordship. She still was convicted and got 8 months suspended. She's probably looking at 3 years inside when all this is sorted.
That’s Caitriona Carey if ever one. Who the hell else would defend that bitch?
as a now convicted Fraudster I presume she's now going to have serious difficulties with insurance premiums and even holding a bank account, surely some bank managers looking on at this debacle in horror
