Bank of Ireland should try to poach that Director.

 

[Unicron]

Don't give him the oxygen of publicity, he's a mad yolk.

Hey, don't poach my yolk pun you cock.

 

[robitusson]

shares?? thats essentially the same as getting a pension plan from paddy powers.

Yup. It's a risk. They took it. It failed. Tough fucking shit.

[ratmonkey]

They sure are, but this is a pretty cool thing for a thick old person to say: "hanging by their necks with piano wire out on the road"

That was the done thing when he was a young lad.

the government must be loving the bankers for taking a lot of the ire.
it's the government's fault for being quite happy with a lax (let's say quite deficient) regulatory system, and the bankers were just capitalising in the short term because that's what the stock market expects.

it's not just the government - it's a global financial system.

my point about criminal proceedings wasn't about this case specifically but i still think there needs to be a rethink of what the financial services sector values.

There has been moves recently in the environmental policy/law area towards real liability legislation. The principle is "polluter pays" i.e. if your comany causes harm to the environment your company pays to mitigate the problem. It tries to establish a culture of consideration and responsibility... something that the financial services sector needs

Re: the lax regulatory system - the system doesn't need to be lax to fail. Financial companies snap up the clever maths graduates and pay them a fortune to come up with insanely complicated ways of fucking with the system. I expect governments just can't compete on the cost of the mathematical firepower required to regulate properly

That lad should have thought before shelling out on so many bank shares. Maybe his financial adviser was egging him on.

I hear he only got paid a poultry sum

 

[ratmonkey]

Not enough to feather his nest anyway.

 

[therealjohnny]
