Fraud squad officers and white-collar crime investigators

Fashion Police! :eek:

Call me cynical but I imagine this is just a response to pacify people for the moment. Just like the round ups that were done after Jack the Ripper struck, although they had no idea who he was, the Police just arrested people to keep the public happy and create the impression that something was being done.

Yawn...

i think people have to go to jail at this stage its the only thing that will calm the public

KTRIC · 24-02-2009 02:03PM

I bet the lads in Anglo were frantically translating everything into Polish recently in a bid to confuse the Gardai when they turned up.

banshee_bones · 24-02-2009 02:04PM

id say they have long destroyed any kind of incriminating evidence!!! :pac:

SEPT 23 1989 · 24-02-2009 02:18PM

IvySlayer · 24-02-2009 02:21PM

Aye. Way, way too late to go searching.
I wonder was this on purpose too?

Dyr · 24-02-2009 02:26PM

Irelands 3rd biggest bank not been turned over would have a far worse effect on our standing in the money markets.

TheZohanS · 24-02-2009 02:31PM

About bloody time.

People in general or anyone in particular?

Mr. Incognito · 24-02-2009 02:37PM

So lets see- story breaks in September- raids come in Fenuary.
I can imagine the conversation.

"We'll be in fist thing Monday, right"

"AH here hang on-one of the lads phoned in sick after the match yesterday- we're still shredding- is tuesday okay?"

"No- bother see you Tuesday so"

I've a good mate of mine working in the Lending dept as an assistant manager in Anglo HO, so he's probably getting the latex glove treatment right now!! :pac:

I have his work email. Seriously contemplating sending him an email:

"Hey <xxxx>, how are things bud? When you getting down for a few beers again?

We're hitting Galway this weekend if your interested......let me know! Should be a good one!

P.S. Thanks a lot for writing off that 200k loan buddy. You're a true friend! Got me out of a real big hole there!

Talk soon,

Fizman

Myself and a few other mates are currently gmailing each other saying that we should all send one off to him! LOL

Pub07 · 24-02-2009 03:11PM

LOL at raiding them now after they've had ages to cover up any crimes. This should've happened ages ago. I suppose FF had to wait until they were sure what would be 'discovered' in this raid before letting it go ahead.

They'll be tagged for life, but it'll be a special electronic tag that looks like a rolex watch.

Sleipnir · 24-02-2009 03:17PM

Well if they've been spending the last few weeks covering their tracks, they haven't done a very good job so far.

The way the Anglo thing is going, you might want to add a few zeros on that 200,000 to get it noticed.

Not one day

dh2007 · 24-02-2009 03:39PM

I can already get a whiff of a massive, money wasting tribunal coming down the pipeline.

How much'll that cost the taxpayer?

skelliser · 24-02-2009 03:41PM

lets be clear:
this was a pure PR exercise nothing more,
No one will ever go to jail over this.

kf1920 · 24-02-2009 03:57PM

The only chance people will go to jail is when it gets to the point that people want Biffo and Lenihan to resign will they prosecute someone. This is more than likely for show, as will the scapegoat when that time comes

Pebkac · 24-02-2009 03:57PM

Course they won't go to jail, they'd have to implicate people! Namely government officials and other high profile people. I mean, why would we let these people go to jail, they are only robbing out of everyone's pockets?!!!!

So was everyone in the fraud unit told, "this isn't real, just make it look good?"
