    An overweight man who drank and smoked too much, spent 25 years in stressful situations, had a history of heart trouble.

    He dropped dead when his door was bashed in, the last thing he suspected.

    He thought it was as safe a place as he could be so he had files and electronic devices wirh him.

    What's implausible.

    Authorities made sure of that. I agree. No need explain yourself, the media puts it out there as instructed to by the authorities as majority of people are passive and believe it. Look at the push back you got already, people in general are idiots and authorities know it. Smoking drinking 50 something year old dies of a heart attack after his door is banged in... That description applies to a large population of Irishmen...Who would believe that? Nonsense. The Quinn thing is a mess and has been for a long time, authorities sending out a message and disposing of a headache....Whoever doesnt believe that will be waiting for Santy next month.

    I sort of agree, something very sketchy about Dublin Jimmy's death.
    It's not adding up.

    Where's everything at with the kinahan/Hutch situation? Is it still getting the same amount of attention from the Gardai if most of the main players aren't really around anymore? Seems like other feuds are more volatile at the moment.

    He was a highly strung scumbag that smoked a lot and was very overweight and prone to anger outbursts. Maybe the Police were also winding him up, but my guess is that they raided he got angry and had a heart attack.

    Robert Keogh got 9 years and he thanked the judge as he was sent down.

    There's confusion over the Robert Keogh chap being sentenced over guns and another chap arrested over scamming All Ireland tickets called Wesley Brennan.

    One of them apparently used to be a frequent poster on this forum using a very similar username to Mark Wahlbergs character in Boogie Nights.

    Both are very very bold boys and a quick google will show recent cases of their scumbaggery.

    This is from the Herald , Can't do links i'm new :

    A 37-year-old Dublin criminal who was found with 60 firearms in his car at the port of Dover in England last month is due to appear before a district court this morning on separate fraud-related charges.
    However, Robert Keogh will not be present in Dun Laoghaire District Court today because he is locked up in the UK and facing a lengthy custodial sentence there.

    The Herald can reveal that gardai plan to "finalise" their case against Keogh today, even though he will be absent.

    The convicted conman has paid not one cent back to his victims, even though he promised to reimburse them at a court sitting last September.

    Groomed

    "This fella is likely to be jailed for up to a decade in the UK next month, so it is highly unlikely at this stage that the three victims in the latest case will ever get any cash off him," a senior source said.

    "Gardai are still trying to get to the bottom of the gun seizure in the UK, but are in no doubt Keogh was groomed and promised all sorts while serving a jail sentence for his conman activities.

    "He might be considered as something of a soft touch in the world of organised crime, but there is no doubt that this individual has hurt a lot of people with his crimes."

    Dun Laoghaire District Court previously heard that the gambler and serial conman duped football fans into handing over money for non-existent tickets to Premier League matches, but promised to repay his victims.

    Keogh (36) told gardai "I can't apologise enough" when questioned about the scam.

    At Dun Laoghaire District Court last September, Keogh admitted six counts of inducing others to hand over cash with the intention of making a gain, on dates between December 2015 and September last year.

    Judge Anne Watkin adjourned sentencing to allow Keogh to bring compensation to court, but the victims have not been paid.

    At the time, Keogh was serving a 12-month sentence after he admitted similar offences before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in April last year.

    Keogh, of Hazelbury Green, Clonsilla, conned his victims out of a total of €1,950 after he advertised the fake tickets online.

    They lost their money after meeting him and handing it over.

    He told them they would get the tickets for Liverpool matches later.

    The incidents all took place at agreed meeting spots, mostly in hotel car parks in the Leopardstown area.

    Keogh was due for release from prison last January. Seven months later he was busted in England with the huge guns haul.

    According to Gardai Keogh was groomed in prison here in Ireland by a criminal gangs to import 60 hand guns , How is that not relevant to this thread , This thread would dry up and vanished if it wasn't kept ticking over by occasional slightly off topic entries

    The court won't give a fcuk whether it's disgusting or not, just if it's legal. I must say it's some gamble. He'll get hammered if found guilty.

    Sure sounds like the same person. the court seems to think they are.

    Whether he is or not, he was caught smuggling guns into Dover. If we discussed every international story about gun smuggling the thread would be named International Gun Smuggling.

    Wouldn’t 60 hand guns be handy for shootings? What else would they do with them? You can be quite certain that some would have been destined for Ireland.
