Episode Details

DJ Carey’s 1992 All-Ireland hurling medal—once a symbol of sporting glory—just sold at auction, but this time for a very different reason: the buyers were victims of his fraud, hoping to use the proceeds to help others he deceived. The couple who purchased it years ago when they helped him out now want to share the money with two people devastated financially by his scams. Carey, once a hurling legend with five All-Irelands and nine All-Stars, is now serving a five-and-a-half-year sentence after admitting to ten counts of deception affecting thirteen people—and possibly twenty-two victims in total. One victim lost $10,000 believing he was sick. The medal sold privately for an undisclosed sum, rumored to be around €10,000. It’s a haunting twist: a trophy from his golden era now helping repair the damage his crimes left behind.
