He also worked for Israel in an intelligence capacity. Of course, ties with academia or intelligence may have led to him meeting former OSS agent and headmater of Dalton private school Donald Barr, who hired a man named Jeffrey Epstein to be a math teacher. That being the same Epstein that died in prison under then AG William Barr, Donald Barr's son.

Oh, and Robert Maxwell also worked to cover up Jimmy Savile's crimes.

Yep, Pergamon press and their literal bullshit technique for journal articles that they pioneered is the reason when I heard the name Maxwell during the whole Epstein "saga" around I think 2015 I remember distinctively yelling out loud "of fucking course it's Maxwells again" (I was working in a biochemistry lab)
