Downfall of disgraced adviser barely mentioned in hometown

Fear has kept people from gossip about the scandal, finds Sarah Stack.

No one even noticed as a panic-stricken Cunningham frantically tried to shift dirty cash from the Northern Bank robbery in the weeks before his bungalow was raided on February 2005.
