Carey was jailed for five-and-a-half years<\/p>\n

Quotes have emerged from 2013 that show the shocking extent of DJ Carey\u2019s hypocrisy after the former hurler was jailed for five-and-a-half years for fraud.<\/p>\n

The Kilkenny hurling legend defrauded 22 people after falsely claimed he had cancer.<\/p>\n

At his hearing last Friday<\/a>, the court heard how the outstanding sum for what was obtained by Carey was \u20ac349,927 and $13,000, including more than \u20ac125,000 from businessman Denis O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n

Dozens of stories and witness statements were told during the case, but quotes that have been dug up from over a decade ago show the ironic and hypocritical thinking of Carey.<\/p>\n

In his 2013 autobiography, Carey named an entire chapter \u201cA rumour a day keeps the truth away,\u201d and went on to say in that chapter: \u201cThe trouble is that one untrue story can fan out and multiply.\u201d<\/p>\n

In promoting the book, Carey also ironically stated: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be a person who would go out and say, \u2018Can you help me?\u2019 It\u2019s not in my nature to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

These quotes now look damning and almost satirical in nature. <\/p>\n

Five-time All-Ireland champion Carey is regarded as one of the most successful and celebrated players in hurling history.<\/p>\n

He was honoured as Hurler of the Year in 2000 and earned nine All-Star awards over the course of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carey was jailed for five-and-a-half years Quotes have emerged from 2013 that show the shocking extent of DJ…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130496,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-130495","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
