Disgraced Enron-scandal banker runs Hove pub (From The Argus)

Good on Gary for picking up his life. The US legal system is one of the most corrupt on the planet in that only the very rich can ever hope to get a fair trial. The British Government should hang it's head in shame that it works hand in glove with the Americans.

Well if he made 7.3 million he should be rich enough even for American justice!

But no, that's a cheap joke and broadly I agree with you.

As long as he serves a good Guinness his past doesn't bother me at all!

Quote, the US legal system is corrupt, that's a joke, the British Bankers are not far behind them, they are the ones who have wrecked this Country.

totally agree, they were bailed out with our money and they still do as they like, bonuses and the like

"to find his daughter Cara Katrina who he has not seen in six."

Come on Southampton subs..

Not only the legal system but along with the corrupt USA general government /life style.

Served his time and obviously got out of it with some money to spare. Good Luck to him.

Banks are wrecking this world, they are caught up in a greed cycle of money and worth. How much bonus will I get this month if I manipulate the price of oil or grain. I can be a millionaire and live in a big house at the expense of the worlds resources and the little man who has to suffer their greed. They will tell you another story of course and some will probably tell you to your face that they just don't care. I don't know this mans story but he and his type are guilty alright.

Which pub does he actually run?

sounds familiar...the ones who are brave enough to go against the mob are usually shunted out of the organisation...I was a banker for a spell, and I can tell you the whole financial services industry is rife with corruption, greed and willful ignorance

Ah thanks. Know where it is now. (Off topic but why DO pubs change their names so that no one knows the place you're talking about and thus where to find them. Don't they want any customers?)

Thanks for the heads-up. Two pubs I shall never visit again.

Folks, if you have any sympathy for this gentleman, then y'all are the latest to be duped by a convicted swindler and con artist. You would feel differently if you knew one of the tens of thousands, as I do, whose lives were affected by either losing their job at Enron and/or their retirement savings held in Enron stock.

Think about your circle of family, friends, and acquaintances and tally those impacted by the current financial crisis. Recognize that the actions of those involved in the Enron con game went beyond the incompetence and skirting the rules responsible for the crisis and ventured into outright theft that came at the expense of all the "little people" just like you that earn an honest living each day and try to put something aside for their golden years.

Whatever flaws exist in the American justice system, I can assure you that one is not that privileged, rich, white men are too frequently held to account for their actions. In fact, my opinion is that these so called white collar criminals get off way too easy and that Gary Mulgrew should still be doing hard labor under the West Texas sun, given how many people were ripped off in this scheme. It offends me that he apparently retained enough of his ill-gotten gains to start anew in better financial shape than likely everyone whose lives were affected.

There is no claim of innocence in this article. Just some whining about unfair punishment. So, rather than view Mr Mulgrew as the victim in this affair, you should recognize him for what he is. A thief.

Thats fine, except you missed out one important point: you're a complete moron. Put your petty bitterness aside for whatever failings your own life has by trying to blame others.
The gist of this story is of someone who was a criminal, done their time and is trying to get their life back on track. No one is saying they feel sorry for this guy, but if you think the principle of punishment and redemption should not exist, then every single human would be behind bars. Now get back to work please, those roads aren’t going to sweep themselves

you're right "hove" you can't polish a terd but by jove i've tried!! lol

but you've got to admire gary for trying his best .. there's enough simple simons around who just would not bother trying to make a go of it as gary is doing

it's bull to label gary a bad or nasty person .. he did wrong and paid for it with no help from the blair regime at the time!

some people go to the wall and never recover from what he and the others went through .. but i'm guessing he will make good and prove a lot of people wrong!

i'll have a wonderful drunken time the next time i'm down in hove at the rocks! lol

'Having previously owned bars in London, he now co-owns the Brighton Rocks Bar, Rock Place, and the Noble House in Portland Road, Hove, which opened about six months ago following a refurbishment costing more than £200,000.'

So they let him keep the money he nicked then ? that was nice of them.
