* Noel Tynan: Gave Carey €10,000 in 2021 and 2022.
* Aonghus Leyden: transferred £1,000 (approximately €1,180) after Carey requested €80,000. Leyden became suspicious.
* Edwin Carey (distant cousin): Transferred €5,000, believing he‍ was helping his cousin with cancer treatment. He planned to give more but became wary due to Carey’s vagueness.
