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.
