Anglo's David Drumm seeks damages for "mental distress"

Yes, you read correctly. David Drumm, the former CEO of Anglo-Irish Bank, "claims Anglo owes him some €2,620,695 in salary, pension and deferred bonus payments and also wants damages, including damages for “mental distress”. (Drumm is the individual who fled Ireland and was tracked to Connecticut by Charlie Bird on RTÉ earlier this year, here).

The gall of it all makes me speechless.

And so he should.
And the remainder of us should get a legal team highly experienced in class action or whatever its called here and sue the last living cent out of the blood sucking vampire.

Mr Drumm
As a cymbal of my apology, please accept this freshly laid turd.

David Drumm is a...brilliant man who has come up with many...well-thought-out, practical ideas, and is insuring the financial future of this company. Oh, and his personal hygiene is beyond reproach.

Dudess · 30-07-2010 10:47PM

Snappy dresser too.

Bob the Seducer · 30-07-2010 10:51PM

Has a way with words and a dazzling smile too I hear...

ejmaztec · 30-07-2010 10:52PM

I think I'll make a list of bankers, developers, politicians and anyone else who's pissed me off, and do the same as Drumm.

In the meantime I can do a Drumm-roll, if someone will lend me the car-park fee for the Cliffs of Moher.

paddyland · 30-07-2010 11:17PM

I'm suffering mental distress over all the money I have to pay to bail out Anglo, can I sue him for that?

Cuddlesworth · 30-07-2010 11:24PM

Depends, most of the people in top level positions have airtight contracts. You might find he could steal 2 million from the bank and still claim his bonus etc. Really a problem for the board for letting these kind of contracts be allowed.

has this scumbag no shame?

Fulton Crown · 30-07-2010 11:47PM

Look !

These leather necks have no fcukun shame - they are being advised by high priced lawers that attack is the best form of sefence.

This cnunt thinks he can tough it out and arrive at a stalemate so that Anglo give up on getting anythin on him.

He has badly miss read the mood of the nation - this smug ba$tard must be wikled our of his mansion in the States and made to answer fer his actions.

What a fcukin thunderin fcukin cnunt ......:eek:

He has no shame, but what has he to lose? He has liabilities that far outweigh his assets and is a public pariah, with a reputation in tatters.

pjmn · 31-07-2010 12:33AM

Well I for one sincerely hope he wins his case for mental distress caused....

... then as the precedent would have been set - we could all sue him for exactly the same thing! :mad:

thebaz · 31-07-2010 12:36AM

if the state pays this evil man 1 euro for stress - the tax payers of Ireland should take to the streets like the Greeks or pensioners - sell his mansions in Malahide and Cape Cod would be a better idea and let him and his lovely wife survive on 190 euro a week in a hostel - and that would be being kind to this scumbag

Kasabian · 31-07-2010 12:56AM

He will get money. He will live in quite comfort for the rest of his life. No one will say a word other than the soundbites from the usual suspects.

Face up to it we are a country of idiots who are getting raped daily by the elite of this country and no one is going to do a fcuking thing about it.

Yep. This country is all about propping up the big guys at the expense of the little people. Its always been the same, not just since the collapse. Its just we all had little distractions like money and jobs to divert our attention before.

I fcuking despise this atitude of entitlement, even in the face of gross misconduct. These people have no shame or dignity, they will do almost anything to put alittle more lining on their pockets.

It would be nice to think that these bástards would do jail time or at the very least be so heavily penalised that they live like paupers for the rest of their days. It would also be nice if gombeen politicians stopped being re-elected at every election. Sadly, none of it will happen. At some point in the distant future, we'll make a recovery and then start down the same reckless path again.
