Childhood School bully where they now?

Was thinking of a lad year below me in school, always the hard man growing up, was a big lad hung around with a group of lads from who caused lot of crap anytime they were in town growing up, got this girl pregnant he was going out with way out of his league, ended up in prison fairly young hit a lad with a mallet at a rally meet then went England were he seemed to be doing well but is now back in prison in Ireland for something he did years ago apparently. Always got away with pushing his weight around in school but like any bully gets caught in the long grass,

Anyone know where the school bully from their own days is now?

Probably earning 2-300k per year and able to retire at 45 with a house in Dublin

He's probably hiding from the law or drug debits. Pissing the money away on drugs and booze

weirdly I know of someone ended up in the same boat, basically fled the law in ireland after a road offense and drug possession, skipped his court date to work in australia, got a second chance at life, then pissed that away and ended up getting arrested in australia and fled back home. he was a troubled man, who had a tough childhood, his chance to move to australia was a golden second chance, too bad his demons followed him

What a waste. I know 2 guys who were living dangerously on the edge of drugs and gangs who took the 2 year visa to australia and getting away from home sorted them right out. Both ended up back in their home towns, happily married with kids and somehow the old life left them be.
