Nat West 3 - Gary Mulgrew

[unrepentant]

Has anyone read Gary Mulgrew's book - Gang of 1?

I listened to a long interview with him on BBC World Service this morning. His story is fairly extraordinary, quite apart from the Nat West / Enron stuff his personal life is compelling. He rose from poverty and a Glasgow orphanage to a senior position in Nat West and his wife disappeared with their daughter some years ago now and has not been seen and heard of since. Then there's the 2 years in a Texas penitentiary... Sounds like an interesting read.

He was on Radio 5 last week. His pre-prison preparation was interesting. He didn't go into the wife/child thing much but I gathered the sone was left behind. If the book reads how he spoke it would be an interesting read.

Would have difficulty reading that book unless I knew where the proceeds were going to. But you're right it does sound interesting

I don't remember that being mentioned.

I think I'd be more interested to read his take on the case rather than his time in prison.

He wasn't near a penitentiary though as far as I know. A low security federal joint yes, pen no. USPs are max security and you usually
have to be on a long sentence or hit with career criminal to end up in one of them.

He was in Big Spring Texas which I understand is a max security prison. They asked to go to a low security place in PA but were refused.

Big Spring is an FCI (Low security) http://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/big/inde...

I remember looking for these guys on the BOP website back in the day, one was somehwere in PA and one was in Lompoc low (CA)

The Wail did a bit on him and this book about 3 weeks ago.
Pity the other younger Gary if he gets extradited if this guy's take is true!
