Show Notes
Episode 2 tells the story of hopeless drug addict Michael Carroll and his desperate bids to have his €40,000 Kinahan debt written off.
We hear how the criminal pursed innocent targets connected to the Hutch family- the Monk's innocent brother, Johnny Hutch, and family relative through marriage, Eddie Staunton.
He took extreme lengths to try and work off his debt.
And on the other side, we hear from Robert Cullen, a man who lived a chaotic life even before becoming a violent drug dealer for another criminal gang, not connected to the Kinahans.
He explains why a suicide attempt resulted in a brutal ultimatum from criminals to whom he owed €70,000 - was he willing to murder to wipe his slate clean?
