    I've often wondered. With all the money the mid to high level guys are repordedly making, and the short lifespan some them have, why don't they make enough to leave the country. I mean if you had 300k or 400k you could live a fairly comfortable life in some places around the world. Or at least it would give you a great head start. I have lived and travelled a fair bit around the world when I was younger and it was the best years of my life. My point being, why stay and risk jail or death if you had the money to get out and live a normal life elsewhere?

    Then your ma gets shot. There's no getting out, or if you manage it it'll be a hell of a lot harder than that.

    I get your point but I wasn't implying stealing the money from people and leaving. I'd imagine some of them save their profits and could get out with no strings attatched.

    Its just not that easy unfortunately, I won't get into specifics but if your doing that well that you can save that much how much money are you bringing in for your mate who won't be happy with you leaving.

    As said by the poster above most wouldn't want to leave anyway, but if they did itd be difficult.

    It’s not that hard, and all of the above assumes you’re cut out for it in the first place

    sometimes it does go missing too.

    I know a lad in Athlone that had 10,000 yokes nicked from where he had it hid. II know another lad that went up the field to where he had his sneachta hid and he saw the bag it was in blowing around the field 100 yards away, a prick of a fox found it and probably demolished it. Fox's are supposed to be mad for it.

    Yup, lad in drogheda legged it over a couple of grand debt. One of the boys involved in the ongoing feud called up to his fathers house n got him to ring him. He was told if he didn't come back to face the music his oul lad would be in trouble.
    Another young fella was overwhelmed by debts n the interest they were lobbing on weekly n done himself in. The scum still call up to his ma weekly to get a few quid until his debt is paid up.

    A lot to be said for getting the ra back!

    Some he paid back and that's why he came out of hiding thinking he was safe but then got hit.

    Or at least he thought it was paid back.

    That's Davis not Boylan.
    His dad signed himself out of hospital the other day,apparently they were in the same one and Lee was brought up to see him....they've seen better days I'm sure.

    Are Parker, Boylan and the two lads recently murdered all connected to the same feud?

    No it's not, it's the oldest trick in the book to get new customers. It's been going on since the Dunne brothers started bringing sack loads of heroin into Dublin in the 70s.

    Cocaine dealers don't do that. Cocaine lads are sound enough that way.

    I grew up inn Coolock in late 70s mid 80s and was involved in the rave scene when it exploded in Dublin. Given I'm a lot older now and live a somewhat sheltered life. But in my experience drug dealers don't generally give drugs away.

    I'm specifically refering back to the 70s and 80s, street dealers would give some away, but there was usually always a price to pay.

    He'd have plenty of free time, plenty of dealers have posted in this thread and previous threads like this. Even more read it. Seemed to take certain posts very personally, didn't seem like a troll to me but can't be sure. He was sending his number out to a few.

    It's not that unbelievable, even McGregor used to post on boards. He's hardly Kinahan level!

    Mind you the whistleblower chap was fairly certain Kinahan was sending messages to him on anon twitter accounts.

    He came on to the Dublin gangland thread with his full name after a poster called out a journo club posting there, very informative and genuinely came across as a sound bloke, whether I agreed with him on certain things was a different story :)
