Who should be jailed for the banking crisis?

HappyTuesday · 18-05-2011 01:55PM #1

Sorry for bringing up yet another thread on the crisis, but I really don't know what is going on having been out of the country for the larger chunk of the scandal.

So can somebody just tell me who everybody is angry at and summarize what they did wrong? Who are these fat cat bankers that should be jailed?

Bertie, Brian Cowan and the retired financial regulator.

You are in no position to be pointing fingers with a name like that.

Gamblor!

Reckon I'm going to end up in jail soon, not those banker wan*ers, if I don't get my creditors sorted.
What's the story with that username? Certainly catches the eye.
Then again, who am I to talk?

Every single last person in Ireland should be arrested and thrown in jail since we're all to blame for killing Mother Russia Ireland.

We can then rebuild our economy by letting film studios film their zombies movies here since all the streets, towns, and cities in the country will be empty and we'll all be in jail.

Command + F "Seanie"
No results were found.

Command + F "Drumm"
No results were found.

This is what's wrong with our country. We have fradulent criminals living in plain site and not only do we not arrest them, but we don't even CALL for them to be arrested?!

Dick" this budget is a disaster" Spring.

Well he did nothing wrong per se.
He was(is?) a public interest director on the board of AIB. :pac: You could say though his appointment was symptomatic of a wider problem of how business was done in Ireland.

people like Neary and his number 2, who has recently got a cushy job with a european bank should be held accountable

also the various senior figures in the main banks, who oversaw or who were actively involved in the race to the bottom.

then there are the humans who cheered the taking down of the anglo sign a few weeks backs, who circa 2006, were heard to say, "what do you mean you're not on the property ladder"!

Thank fook, or else half the people who bought houses for ridiculous prices would be in jail too! The government gave the people what they wanted!

This is borderline anti-semitism. It was not the Jewish bankers fault, it was gentiles that did not pay the money back.

Most if not all of the mortgage default happened after the banks became insolvent.

Neary, Quinn (don't give a crap if it wasn't that damaging the sheer greed he showed was unreal), Fitz, Drumm, Fingleton, Ahearn, Cowen, Lenihan, The Green party, Conor Lenihan and his "special" face etc..

Also someone said you can't be jailed for incompetence. I'm fairly sure if you were incompetent as say a safety officer in a Pharma plant and got someone killed you'd see the inside of a cell. How much blood have these people on their hands indirectly through young unemployed people alone losing the battle with depression. Examples have to be made soon or the new government will be tarred with the same big brown smear the last shower were.

Rant over.

The ones who are convicted of a crime.

gigino · 18-05-2011 04:12PM

To blame are the regulator, central bankers and top layer of government.
All public servants but then they were the ones in charge and the ones who made the laws and were supposed to govern.
To date they are all well + have retained their pension entitlements etc, despite f====== up the country.

Yes. Incompetence in itself cannot be punished legally, but there is a separate offense known as negligence, which all of our financial system cheerleaders are guilty of to some extent or another.

Thanks for the comprehensive list... now what do I do if I want to research them? Google the surname "Fitz" ?!?!?! Any chance of giving me their first names?

melekalikimaka · 18-05-2011 04:26PM

people who fail to accept that we all played a part in it. Especially gombeens who bough any property in the past 8 years, broke now and want someone other than their reflection to poin the finger of blame on

ascanbe · 18-05-2011 04:55PM

There are clear instances of possible fraud by those who ran a number of financial institutions in this country and ample evidence to suggest possible collusion on a number of matters between some of these people and some in our previous government in the run-up to the blanket-bank guarantee.
The suppossed investigation into the matters has, up to this point, displayed all the hallmarks of a charade/white-wash and the current government has, for whatever reason, shown little interest, so far, in doing anything to change this.

They have nothing to fear from you anyway if you are defeated by the lack of a first name

Read that on an election poster I presume.

Jail David McWilliams,Morgan Kelly,Constantin Gurgytiv

for the crack.!!!
these guys and some more forecast this mess,so we should do the Irish way. shoot the messenger.!!!
Funny that Jim Power,that "extraordinary" economist from Friends First can now command airtime on RTE at will, now that he is batting for the other side. was he not the man that coined the phrase "SOFT LANDING" and constantly acted as cheerleader for the government.??

Who should be jailed for the banking crisis?
