    Seán Quinn on Prison, Betrayal and Fighting Back | The Quinn Files EP3

    This one goes somewhere different. Seán talks about actually walking into prison in 2012, what those weeks inside were like, and coming home to try and rebuild. Then it gets into what happened in 2014 when he was given a shot at getting back involved in the business — and how that fell apart too, with a 141-page document he says was written specifically to keep his family out for good. He names names, talks about money he says was stolen from the company, the letters he sent to the Gardaí that went nowhere, and doesn't dodge the harder questions either — including about the Kevin Lunney abduction and whether he's just an old man who lost and won't accept it. Straight answers, no filter. This is the most personal episode yet.

    How the Irish Government Took 75% of the Quinn Group | The Quinn Files EP2

    Picking up where episode 1 left off — this is the part of the story where the state gets directly involved. Sean talks through the day the government moved in and took control of the Quinn Group, the agreement he says his own board was forced to sign, and a comment from a government minister that he still hasn't forgotten. From there it goes into the court case, the injunctions, assets tied up abroad, and how it all ended with a bankruptcy order for €3 billion. Whatever side of this story you land on, hearing it laid out step by step is something else. Timestamps: 00:54 – Episode begins 03:27 – Removed as chairman 07:39 – The phone call that almost saved it 18:04 – Government takes 75% control 20:01 – The clause: agreeing never to sue 20:34 – "A good day for the border region" 28:50 – The court ruling 30:14 – Assets, injunctions, and jail 38:05 – Bankrupt for €3 billion #SeanQuinn #TheQuinnFiles #QuinnGroup #AngloIrishBank #IrishPolitics #TruecrimePodcast #Podcast #Ireland

    Seán Quinn Breaks His Silence: The €488 Million Nobody Agreed To | The Quinn Files EP1

    Seán Quinn built one of the biggest privately owned businesses in Ireland from nothing. Then it all came apart — and not the way most people think. In this first episode Seán sits down to walk through how a bet on Anglo Irish Bank shares turned into the biggest financial collapse the country has ever seen, and how his family ended up holding hundreds of millions in debt they say they never agreed to. He gets into the numbers, the calls that were made behind closed doors, and what it actually felt like watching it all unravel in real time. This is the first time a lot of this has been said publicly, in his own words. All episodes are out now. Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 04:09 – The €488.5m put into his family's name 08:58 – Building the empire from zero 19:07 – The Anglo shares start to collapse 38:21 – "100% illegal, against our will" 41:32 – Patricia's bankruptcy, 18 years on #SeanQuinn #TheQuinnFiles #QuinnGroup #AngloIrishBank #IrishBusiness #TruecrimePodcast #Ireland #Podcast
