Quinn 'has only himself to blame' as he begins nine-week jail term

Ex-billionaire tycoon Sean Quinn has only himself to blame for a nine-week jail sentence over his role in an multimillion-euro asset-stripping plot, a High Court judge declared today.
The bankrupt businessman opted to go straight to prison for his “outrageous” contempt and for failing to untangle a scheme that put the family’s €500m international property empire beyond the reach of the former Anglo Irish Bank.
