    A jury has found former Anglo Irish Bank chief executive David Drumm guilty on two counts of fraud.
    Mr Drumm (51) denied the two offences linked to his running of the failed Irish lender in 2008.
    The jurors returned to consider their verdicts at 10.05am on Wednesday at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, and returned their verdicts on Wednesday afternoon shortly after 3 pm.
    The nine men and three women began considering a verdict last Tuesday, day 81 of proceedings, after one of the longest running trials in the history of the State. They have since deliberated for more than seven hours following the 16-week trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

    'Bout feckin' time someone faced justice. Hope spends the rest of his days in prison.

    More than two, less than five and those in power will finally be able to point to someone who has actually paid for white collar crime. He’ll serve about a year though.

    If he gets more than 2 years, he'll serve more than a year.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,889 ✭✭✭Odelay

    Does anyone really think, based on our awful track record, that this banker is going to get a sentence? Its Ireland, where absolutely nobody is accountable and on the rare occasion a "higher-up" of society is arrested and charged, it will eventually come to nothing. He will get a little slap on the wrist, 5 years suspended and off he goes with his millions still stashed somewhere.

    Just like the smear test scandal, blood scandal etc. absolutely NOBODY gets jail and the lawyers fatten their nests on bloated public enquiries which have no teeth.

    There is already people in jail facing justice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,424 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    Nice long Jail term please.

    Not such bad day after all

    He won't be in the Joy playing pool with the lads, shooting up H. Shiving Fingleton or one of his gang members.

    Does his time on remand in the USA count as part of any sentence?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Did we ever actually pass and legislation with regards to attempting to bankrupt the state?

    It's pretty much the kind of stuff that the offences against the state act was designed

    Not a chance of him getting a suspended sentence
    Denis Casey, William McAteer and John Bowe got 2-3 years.

    A cute hoor and a coward. What a combination.

    What kind of sentences are we looking at? Whats the maximum?


  • Registered Users Posts: 325 ✭✭M.Cribben


    Did his lawyer not go for the "difficult upbringing, no father, alcoholic mother, failed by the education system but now enrolled in forklift operator fas course and has brought 200 euro to Court for the poor box" defence? That usually gets the perpetrator off with a suspended sentence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,301 ✭✭✭Snickers Man


    This sort of thing is unconstitutional here, but this is how they dealt with miscreants in Portugal 260 years ago. (Dramatisation based on true events)

    He should look at this and think "Phew! Thank God we've got a Pro-Life Constitution after all!"
