corrigan isn't a manager's arsehole. He was a merchant banker who
specialised in taking over companies and then stripping them of all
their assets. This is what he did to Patrick. The employees employment
was moved from Patrick into 3 other companies - without their knowledge.
corrigan then removed $68,000,000 from these companies, causing their
collapse. He should be jailed along with reith.
