Quinn - Trevor Birney

The gripping inside story of Ireland's bankrupt billionaire, Sean Quinn, who went from rags to riches before gambling it all on Anglo-Irish Bankshares and becoming the world's biggest personal loser of the economic collapse of 2008.

A millionaire by thirty, Quinn took on the Irish cement business in the 1980s and won. He became an almost mythical character, creatingthousands of jobs at a time when the dark shadows of mass unemployment and the Troubles loomed over the Irish borderlands. Then he gambled it allon the stock market, and this time he lost.

Quinn's senior team was hand-picked, with loyalty prized aboveall else. When that loyalty was betrayed, they became the sole focus of his obsession and the atmosphere in 'Quinn Country' turned dark and ominous, culminating with the horrific abduction and attack on KevinLunney in 2019.

Ten years after losing it all, Quinn is a brooding figure in an enormous house, refusing to accept any blame for his downfall. This is the trulyremarkable story of the man everyone said was too big to fail.
