    and rightly so. Glad to see all the Jobs saved but be under no illusion... he was trying to buy Anglo as he, and his mates, saw it as a huge cash cow.

    It wasn't a "punt" on shares.

    Why some media outlets are making this some sort of sob story is beyond me.

    He was trying to buy Anglo, lmfao... how much money do you think he had?? :eek:

    In fairness I felt the Indo coverage was actually quite fawning as well. Why do I have to hear time and again about the humble Quinn who borrowed 100£ to dig a well and became Ireland's richest man only to tragically lose it all etc etc.

    Luckily, he managed to extract a few million from his empire to donate to his kids before the **** hit the fan.:rolleyes:
    30 million per kid if i remember correctly.

    It can be assumed you don't know much about shares and whatnot.

    Seriously.

    Why do you think he was buying so much of it?
