I wish they would re-load the Robert Maxwell drama with David Suchet and Patricia Hodge. I found it strangely inspirational.

Seems like an honest man !

I guess Robert Maxwell is looking upwards right now and laughing at the problems Rupert Murdoch is having right now!

@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.

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.

@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.
-
@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.

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.
fat thieving cunt

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.
