Ex-billionaire says suggestions he had role in executive's abduction are 'character assassination'.
He told BBC News NI those who don't believe him "can believe whatever they like" but there was no "scintilla of evidence" that he had any "hand, act or part in it"."After Kevin Lunney was abducted… the air got very contaminated and even some of my own family - my brother and sisters and some of my kids - were saying, 'Daddy were you involved?'," Mr Quinn said.
When the bank took control of his businesses, it ousted all the senior Quinn family members and senior executives on day one in a process called "de-Quinning" by locals.There have been books, documentaries, and hundreds of newspaper articles written about the rise and fall of his business empire but Mr Quinn says his book tells his side of the story for the first time.
"The 600-odd million pounds we lost on them was crazy, maybe madness on my part for buying so many shares, fine. But it wasn't a problem for the Quinn Group - I mean, it was only a year and a half's profit."But then as the blame game - one thing after another, finishing up with Kevin Lunney's abduction - it went on and on and on. I was turning out to be the biggest criminal in the history of the state.
"I feel close to the poorest. But the first third of my life I was poor, the middle third of my life I was rich and the last third of my life, give or take, it looks like I will be poor - but I'm resilient."For a man who enjoys playing a weekly game of cards, he muses "whatever cards you're dealt you play them and I'm happy to play whatever cards are dealt".
