I'd gladly face his current predicament to have lived the high life he has done for all these years.
The man is expecting sympathy because he may be forced to sell his Ailesbury Road house.
Slap it in to him.
where is your evidence that he
a) is expecting sympathy and
b) has been living the high life for all these years?
On a professional level i do not have any sympathy for him. He took big risks to build up his business and therefore has to take the consequences when the risks do not pay off.
I do feel sympathy on a personal level for anyone who has worked hard and lost it all.
But i seriously doubt if things didnt go belly up for him, he would feel sympathy for all those in negative equity, on a personal level!

People in negative equity isn't his fault. He didn't give out mortgages.

No he didn't but he (and others) assisted in pushing the price of houses to astronomical levels.
When we bought our house in 2005 my wife was on maternity leave and rather than wait for the showhouses to open on the Saturday, she went to the selling agent and put a booking deposit down on the Thursday, thus securing the house at €365K.
When the showhouses opened on Saturday, the same houses were €395K!
Do you think that the builder really needed the extra €30K per house? All pure profit (ex VAT of course). Possibly about as much as a Premiership footballer really "needs" that extra €20K per week in his wage packet.
I hope he loses everything.
No - I took my chance and I'll live with the consequences. I don't expect sympathy or pity or even financial assistance.
So forgive me if I expect others to do the same, especially those who made fortunes on the back of silly little citizens like me who just wanted a roof over my head for my family without paying astronomical rent prices or begging a family member to let us stay in their spare room!
When did you buy your own house Sunny?
