I disagree, he was highly intelligent but it's difficult to understand how he did it all legitimately- which means that he probably didn't. He was caught engaging in securities fraud by misrepresenting the position of his companies several times- in 1971 he was censured for it and of course there was the pension scandal.
Ultimately, he was a gambler who had a 40 year run of luck and then lost everything- including stuff that didn't belong to him.
@theporksicle You are right he didn't do it legitimately (he stole millions of pounds from the pension funds of retired Daily Mirror employees). Oh you knew that did you? Thieving lying cunt is what this man was.
I have very little respect for Maxwell. He was indeed a thieving liar, but I'm sure a lot of people 'borrowed' from their employees' pension fund and, provided the market didn't turn against them, were able to return it. I read that prior to the Maxwell scandal it was common for businessmen to use their employees' pension fund for short term finance- most of the time the money was returned quite quickly.
somebody drowned in a kayak accident fifty metres out off the coast of County Durham UK, last thursday, the RLNI are still on standby awaiting his body to surface. Come on world especially those in high positions, who is kidding who.
people who drown SINK. It takes around 9 days for gases of decay to build up in the gut and float the body to the surface. Why has no one even the highest authority questioned this? It seems quite lucky to turn a ship around half an hour after he went missing and retrace the voyage to find him conveniently floating ready to be picked up. Ive maintained my point since the day it happend.
In his early life he was a great man, but when he came under pressure, because of alcohol and hige amounts of stress, he basicly went mad, and took such ridiculas action he was signing his death sertificate.
Like when as MP for Buckingham he spoke openly against the proposed third London airport that would have flattened the village of Cublington in his constituency. Then he voted in favour of the airport as he had always intended to.
He was always a shifty character who wanted to use the courts to silence opposition. How easy it is to laugh at these preposterous "trust me" adverts now.
@soldoutrules no you are wrong. He is a successful businessman and a great man, and he isnt alchoholic or insane. He is cleverer than anyonereading or writing these remarks. Power can silence any truth, the sea of power is vast and you cannot fight it.
@soldoutrules Really? A "great man" was he? Do please elaborate on that. Until you do, it will be obvious to anyone with half a brain that his finest hour was his last one.
@ilkinond I would love to elaborate on that. He came from a poverty struck Jewish family from German occupied Europe. Set up a small newspaper firm, and gradually turned it into a huge newspaper empire. Sure he messed up bad at the end, but my god was he the definition of social mobility at his time.
Dear God, am i gonna be the only one to stand up for this man? Maxwell was less corrupt than Murdoch by a MILE - Murdoch single-handedly tore apart this country's media and turned it into a joke - at least maxwell, a thief though he was, stood for something and was a genuine character - what you saw was what you got...and as for the anti-jewish comments that is totally beside the point..i bet half of the idiots who have posted these comments read the fucking Sun which is a rag of a 'news'paper
yes you have alot of loyaly to your dad dont u ???????????????wot a prick..family begins at home mate (with ya dad) not with some maxwell cunt...your betraying your old dad with your comments..your the prick here
lol - "and here we have 'the sun-reader'..." (as david attenborough would say)....."noticeable instantly by his juvenile, insecure youtube nickname"....you really are preoccupied with 'pricks' arent you - sad, sad man - get out of my face and back to page 3 for your daily cheap-thrill.....oh, and by the way, it was my dad himself who told me that maxwell had a decent side......
i dont buy a newpaper..............you cunt...what an idiot.."he had a decent side did he?" dont make me laugh..he fucked up peoples life......you are not real..your dad is/was a cunt too then
Man, u really do have issues dont u mr "biggerandmoregirth". Personally i think you are a foul-mouthed idiot. And I am pretty sure that the reason you don't buy a newspaper is because you have difficulty comprehending words....either that or you believe in the false-truth that 'all newspapers are full of lies'....there do happen to be some good ones out there......comprehend?! lol, probably not! hahaha
you chat shit..i hope when its your turn to get your pension,,it all goes down the pan..i bet u r as hard as a fuckin turd,,u make me laff you weedy cunt
It was known for years that he was an embezzler, a thief, a cheat, and a fraud. But nobody said anything, because he threatened to sue (for libel) anyone who accused him of a crime.
