    The three denied that charge but admitted taking steps in Russia and Ukraine to put some of their properties beyond the bank's reach, before last year's court orders.

    The Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, formerly Anglo Irish Bank, accused the three of taking steps to put the Quinn Group's international property assets out of the reach of the bank, after the High Court had granted injunctions preventing them from doing so.
    IBRC is currently chasing €2.8 billion in debts from the group.
    The Quinns had denied the claims and said that while they had attempted to put assets beyond the reach of the bank they had done so before the High Court made the orders.
    The possible penalties for breaching High Court orders include imprisonment as well as fines

    Would they be considered assets if ordered well in advance?

    Great News, Ive hoped for really really bad things for Quinn since being screwed over by his joke of a car insurance company many years ago. He is a scumbag and the people who work for him no more then henchman for an evil empire.

    Bit much?

    While he himself may be a prick, those people are just doing their job.

    You can't blame front-line staff for the wrongdoings dictated from the top.

    That's like calling the person behind the cash register at Debenhams evil for supporting child labour practises in textile factories.

    He might do a couple of handy months in an open prison, then head off into the sun to spend his ferreted away millions.
    I would imagine his advice is telling him to sarcrifice a few of these assets to placate the stupid people and to allow the establishment (who have stood over these dubious accounting practices) to save face, in front of the same stupid people, who will go on voting them into power in the mistaken belief that something is going to change.

    Maybe we should kill them altogether, along with their families and everyone who ever worked for them.....

    Eta. And burn their bodies, and chisel their names off.....

    Is it wrong of me to hope he is going to be someones bitch in prison?...

    ...IF he ever gets prison, cause im sure he will just get a smack on the back of the hand and be told "dont do that again you loveable rouge"

    It's ironic that if all the people who want to burn Quinn made the laws of other countries, we'd never have had Ford, Macy's, Sony, Wollworths, Honda or KFC.

    In some countries, failure is a badge of honour and they jail the likes of Madoff for natural life.
    Here we let Seanie Fitz off and punish business people who fail.

    Quinn made bad business decisions, he deserves to be left with nothing, but put the blame for us carrying his losses where it belongs, - with a bank who were out of control, and a government who guaranteed all the losses.

    ..

    I sure don't think so and I'm guessing many people don't think so either.
    Personally I'm hoping for someone like this guy

    No problem with failure Buddy...if the business was honestly run...and responsibilities were faced up to in a reasonable and straightforward manner.

    What Quinn appears to be doing is lumping the enormous cost of his failure on the Irish taxpayer and and at the same time ensuring that he and his family(poor simple country people) have more than enough to live in considerable luxury for the rest of their lives.

    This simple country man is trying to make you and me and our children pay so he and his coterie and their descendants can live in luxury behind their walled mansions.

    Good on you Judge Dunne ....jail the bastards :eek:

    The greediest Irishman ever has been found in contempt of court. Instead of owning up and paying (some of) his dues, he was hiding his assets in a "blatant, dishonest and deceitful" manner

    Shame on Sean Quinn, the traitor.

    He and all his cronies and family find it hard to live on €2,000 a week? Who the hell is paying them this money? :mad:

    But unkel, look at that hang-dog expression on his face. He feels sorry for what he did. Let's get him a present.

    I think that if the government/Nama hadn't tried to go behind his back and went to such underhand tricks they would have got a lot of the money very quickly. Instead they called Sean to a meeting in Dublin so they could storm his business in his absence.

    Aye to be honest I felt sorry for him when it all started to emerge. Big greedy gamble, all went wrong, he seemed very sorry and he would cough up.

    The former two turned out to be true. the latter two were two fingers - don't give a fukc and let's hide all the money :(
