Gardaí hold firearm after pyramid scheme incident
The man was interviewed by gardaí last week in the wake of the threats and voluntarily handed over his legally held firearm. He was not arrested prior to being interviewed.
A garda source said the man had been operating Speedball, a pyramid scheme where participants invest €1,000 and hope to get €8,000 in return. Angry investors who failed to get a return on their money had threatened to call to his home. The man subsequently made reference to his firearm.
