Sammy Heaney puts the most common questions from listeners and social media directly to Sean Quinn. Sean gives his side on why the Quinn Group couldn't keep meeting the CFD margin calls, whether he was misled over the Anglo shares, the share pledges signed over without the board's knowledge, and the 488.5 million placed in his family's names through a Cypriot company. He also responds to claims about the 288 million taken out of Quinn Insurance, where the group's international assets went, whether any assets were hidden, and how he squares living in the family home with not being able to afford solicitors. Plus: why Quinn Insurance covered drivers and hauliers others wouldn't, whether there should be a public inquiry, and whether a new Quinn Insurance could ever work. 00:00 Intro – listener questions 01:03 If the group was profitable, why couldn't you meet the margin calls? 05:40 Were you sold a pig in a poke on the Anglo shares? 08:04 The share pledges and losing control 11:14 Liam McCaffrey and the 488.5 million in the family's names 14:27 Who authorised it? 17:19 "Retrospective legal advice" 18:47 Did 288 million come out of Quinn Insurance? 22:04 Where did the money from the assets go?
