I see he got leniency for time served in the states. Was the fact he ran off to the states in the first place and then fought extradition factored in at all? It doesn't sound like it was.

Yeah, that strikes me as odd. Still 6years is a reasonable stretch. Leaving the seen of the crime clearly doesn't cost you. Hopefully the government will invest more in prosecuting white collar crime.

Six years, he'll probably end up in Shelton Abbey and be out in three years with good behaviour.

Judge said yesterday if he'd admitted guilt, she'd have taken a considerable lump of the 6 year sentence off.
So an 8 year sentence less 2 years for loss of reputation/damaged future employment status and 5 months taken off for time served in the US...less 25% automatically because this is Ireland...that should equate to 3 years,7 months in actual prison here. And that's before the appeal.
But I doubt he'll serve that time inside. Lack of spaces/day release for preparation of full release etc will come into place

Same here - sends the wrong signal to others who might think it's worth fighting extradition. Should have ignored it or been less lenient.

Any guesses why he pleaded not guilty?

Arrogance? Self delusion? Feeling victimised?

David Drumm Released On Good Behaviour After Arriving At Prison

Quote:

CITING his exemplary record within the first 14 seconds as a prisoner, disgraced former Anglo banker David Drumm has been released on good behaviour following his conviction for conspiracy to defraud and false accounting.

Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan explained the rationale for the early release, which took many members of the public by surprise, some of whom can’t recall what is was Drumm had done again, but knew it was bad and that it made them very angry.
...
“You’d feel sorry for him, they’re some amount of scumbags in prison; his cellmate was going to be some lad who claimed the dole for two weeks even though he had a job. Horrible, shameless evil bastard like that put in with a sound lad like Drumm, your conscience couldn’t take it,” concluded the minister.

And that says so much about the times we live in.

He will end up paying significant wedge to the incarcerated cast of love/hate for protection, failure to do so will result in intimidation beatings or rape.Prisons like mountojoy are utterly brutal and there is no sofas to hide behind.

I'm presuming he will spend his entire sentence there?

Drumm Guilty!
