Nice story. Explains why he and his family are such miserable examples of human beings. Explains why British politics is in such a miserable state too. Lies, corruption, deceit...only winning and money counts for anything.
I guess that's sadly true for most governments around the world
Could this also explain the weird relationship between Israel, US and Russia?
this is not the complete story of maxwell, this is the version blessed by the people he worked for, mostly lies by omission
the Discovery Channel sponsored this video, at the .29 sec mark you will see, who owns the Discovery channel
Sounds like many governments including USA where I'm from.
Margaret Cho out here putting out more info than every media outlet combined. Thank you Ms. Cho!
Now This New is a ... wait for it ... media outlet.

Saying a whole lot of nothing. OP out here shilling...
It’s biased enough to be written by cho
LOVE MC!!! More narration from her, please!❤
This man single-handedly broke academic publishing which has time and again set scientific progress and sharing of ideas back by years if not decades.
How? I have read his biography and after WW2 he was the guy who basically created a viable global market for scientific publishing. He was even the first one able to publish scientific papers from east europe. One could argue that he was quite greedy in regards to his margins but how did he set back the industry by decades? What am I missing?
@@neilhamed929 watch the video on academic publishing by medlifecrisis. The scientific publishing system is broken through and through.
@@justrandomotaku Cool, thanks. I checked it out.
Most jobs tend to attract the type of people who have the character traits that best fit the job. Unfortunately, the qualities required to be a good politician don't necessarily make for the kind of person who we''d want to befriend in everyday life. I've worked in software for many years and can affirm that the profession tends to attract allot of nerds.
Interestingly: Robert Hare (the Canadian Forensic Psychologist who has done allot of work on psychopathy) considered Maxwell to be a possible psychopath. This diagnosis can't be official because nobody ever did the formal interview required to say one way or another for sure. That said, in true psychopath form, Maxwell certainly did leave a path of ruin and destruction behind him.
@@wongawonga1000 Check out Fred Trump also for a psychopath businessman. I agree with that assessment of Maxwell by the way.
Damaged people create other damaged people...
He was a winner. Like him or not.
@@patogordo1385He was a beggar that betrayed the good faith of the society he immigrated to. People like him are the reason people need to be very careful about alien people settling in their country's. Its why I don't blame the Japanese for not allowing mass migration.
He was a big time thief. Harold Wilson coined the title for him-The Bouncing Czech. His loot was laundered and ended up in his family.
He was also well supported by Israel and Mossad.
Wow! I only know of that PM due to The Crown. Before my time. Didn't know till this video that he was a Czech Jew.
Harvey Weinstein also had ex Israeli intelligence people working for him. They would dig up information on all the women Weinstein had abused and any enemies he had. If one of them started to complain about him they would saturate the media with a smear campaign to make them questionable characters. I saw it on a PBS maybe Frontline.
Again another sociopath like Maxwell, Epstein, Trump, Putin and they get away with this stuff forever almost.
Would be modern day Ukraine.@@TheCandiceWang
Mordecai Vanunu's prosecution was one of the most disgraceful thing that happened which also kept from the public eye.
And barley anyone in the media ever talks about it.
Why ? He betrayed his country and was dealt with according to the law. In some countries he would have been executed.
Oh vey, This mini-documentary gave me chills! The old adage the Apple did not follow away from the tree!
Murdoch’s ex wife gets the Yacht, and what sweet irony.
Yep.
@@cynthiabrent6479 Well said Cynthia, well said.
What would have been superlative sweet irony is for one of the cheated pensioners to have won a huge lottery and bought the yacht.
It always makes me smile when I come across a blaring stereotype in the wild. Robert Maxwell, Jewish businessman and media mogal, praised for his priceless service to Israel, defrauded and backstabbed those in his industry, simultaneously playing the banking system and embezzling millions from his employees' pension funds.
“She’s a victim” narrative, we see from where this came
Also the fact he was a 3 letter word
Not exactly. Means they are a family of criminals. Just like Elizabeth Holmes’ family.
She's definitely the victim of having a sociopath for a father but that doesn't excuse her behavior with Epstein. It's necessary for us to heal our childhood wounds or to keep acting them out. Most people keep acting them out.
I was in the Mirror HQ when his helicopter landed. I asked what the noise was they told me 'The ego has landed'. The 'Bouncing Czech' certainly had a reputation in London in those days.
"the ego has landed"
lool, took me a few seconds to get that one
@@therearenoshortcuts9868 I know, its a old movie, very popular at the time :-)
They used that line about Trump as well.
It's interesting to see Robert Maxwell (born Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch; 10 June 1923 - 5 November 1991) - was so often photographed dining with the British Monarchy. Around the same time that Maxwell and Piers Morgan pursued Diana so cruelly, ruthlessly and with such force and venom. It makes a person wonder what must've been said (or agreed) at his mansion parties where he entertained the Queen and Charles. Coincidence...? I don't think so.
I'm so glad I found your channel. That was good.
Thanks
Lots in common with these two men she admired..fraudulent, toxic and above all..both took their own lives when they were finally getting exposed. I'm sure there's more these men had in common that this woman saw and admired.
Except Epstein probably didn't kill himself though.
@@wickandde I doubt maxwell did either
The most important thing they had in common was that they were both Intelligence Assets.
Mossad agent, plain & simple.
Robert Maxwell did not kill himself, tho. She's believed for years that he was murdered. Ruled an accidental drowning, I believe?
Anyone old enough to have witnessed R Maxwell’s peak of power in Britain knows exactly what that family are about.
Do you think his kids are the same way? All 9 of them? Sorry, not talking Ghislaine who obviously is deviant. What about her siblings?
Hahaaaa its total deception for everything! There is nothing called honest in this world!!!
I've read a book about when Murdoch and him were union busting.... they had people lining up outside of printers union places and they wanted to kill them.... dimespicable people all of em
He was a winner. Now is trending to dislike him but the guy achieved more I. Live than 99% here.
Thanks for this !
didn’t know she was his daughter but it explains,everything, that man was a crock
Love this story.... so well put together / researched with lots of background info I hadn’t heard previously
Yeah, absolutely, no word about children being abused by people from the political and cultural elite, in order to blackmail them. All setup by Robert Maxwell, and run by Ghislaine, and ofcourse the boss had to be a man, this was what Epstein did for them. This was all not talked about, so for the powers that be.. yeah, deffo a well put-together story.
@@Wib0 Yeah I recall reading something of that nature as well. Ghislane and Epstein were merely continuing that work in a larger, grander scheme.
@@Wib0 This piece is a part of a series of Epstein related mini-docs that chronicles the events and circumstances surrounding Epstein and the equally horrible people that surrounded themselves with Epstein, and the other abhorrent scum bags that these sickening and predatory actions these monsters took part in, are also in the other videos on the NowThis News’ channel. It is a lot to cover in one video and better explained, and less is left out in the entire series. However, I do agree those are really critical facts to omit from this video.
Robert Maxwell never ever answered to the name Jan Ludvik
Was Robert Maxwell really Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch ? Or just more fabrication and deceitful behaviour??? You decide
@@Wib0 you know what's creepy? Maria Farmer says that EPSTEIN was at her father's funeral - Robert Maxwell! So long ago! What would he be there for, especially back then? I don't know the timeline well.
I really can see the resemblance to the daughter, I am sure daddy would be proud.
it will be interesting to see how Robert Maxwell's reputation changes after the release of "One Nation Under Blackmail" by journalist Whitney Webb - it's a 2 part series around 900 pages long detailing the history of Robert Maxwell's life and business undertakings - criminal would be an understatement, the implications of Whitney Webb's research are very serious
please keep in mind that this book is made up of mostly primary sources, the level of scholarship here is extremely high - it seems Robert Maxwell's character was far stranger even than what he seems in this video - thx for the vid btw
it's also wild that Maxwell was rubbing shoulders with Rupert Murdoch, who is arguably the propaganda minister for the west, given his extensive holdings and influence, over several decades mind you, in America, England, and Australia - very interesting people who have had massive influence over the world we now know, and are trying to clean up - I'm looking forward to history seeing these people accurately by their actions and not just their reputations
MOSSAD
Thank you Margaret you're awesome look forward to the next one
Like father, like daughter……
They were both winners, until what happened everyone loved her. And the guy achieved more than anyone here.
The more I hear about this Maxwell fella the more I don't like him. No, sir...don't care for his ilk.
He sounds like a real jerk
omg I love that one of my favorite comedians in narrating this.
I wonder what the mirror pensioners, who lost out, feel about this "injustice" regarding ghislaine? Terrible
Israel gave him a state funeral at the end.
@@taffyman6089 may be epstein Robert and ghislaine were all working for mossad?
Many thanks for a little history!
I really like Margaret Cho. 💜🙏🏾🌎
She’s great, totally agree.
So does Bobby lee
What a Lovely Story!!! Extremely interesting.
Lovely? Wrong choice of adjective
Among the assets he sold to try and deleverage, there was a stake in TF1, the largest private television in France, which originated in the consortium that bought the channel in 1987 in a privatisation that was controversial, for his participation in said consortium was made possible by a direct intervention of the French President of the time, Mitterrand, who knew him... since the early 1950's.
I love this series with Margaret!! Her voice is great for narration
He might of been a bad human but the quote ‘I never had the privilege of having a childhood’ is actually really sad and the mocking tone isn’t really appropriate
That childhood created who he was like childhoods do for everyone.
@@brianwalsh1401 Does that still apply when you create your childhood out of 99% fiction ? ;) ... Also Lottie - he 'might' have been a bad person ? oy vey what would it take
@@SabbaticusRex you comment like a weirdo
A monstruous childhood sometimes makes monstruous, ruthless adult taking their revenge on the world. Or you could say: the world taught me violence and it's now all I know and you'll see....
I sincerely hope Cho's intention isn't to justify Ghislaine's heinous behavior by vilifying her father's.
gracias
Amazing!
This is actually a good series leading up to the Ghislaine Case, great narration too by Cho tbh
nice doco. i wouldnt spend too much time reading about guys like him. but very interesting background considering how much the name is in the news
I use to hear maxwell flying in and landing on top of the mirror office in London
Bravo excellent work ❤️ you Margaret Cho. Well done you
Wants to sound British instead of Eastern European. Changes name to "Ivan"
Sociopaths are very adept at being who they think they need to be, chameleons.
And the name sounds Russian 💀
I feel like her tone during his early life is unwarranted, certianly he BECAME a monster but his background is of struggle and a fair bit of courage. Respecting that aspect of his life has its own value.
He had a high media profile in the UK before he died. He was terrible narcistic, in some ways like Donald Trump. I dread to think what his children are like although it was not their fault he was their father.
I wonder about his wife. Did she regret marrying this guy?
I dread it, too. If you look at the Gypsy Rose Blanchard situation, she is likely to end up just like her psycho mother that she murdered, bc that's all shes ever been exposed to. I do wonder if Mrs Maxwell had a positive influence at least on some of her kids. If they grew up in that world of grifting and being a sheister, is that all they ever knew?
See: Donald.
Also: unfortunately this man has a lot of characteristics that remind me of the Golden State serial killer. Could be the life of the party. Or ruthlessly violent. Relished to be in the spotlight. Could fool you. Serious lack of scruples. A liar and a cheat. Not to be trusted.
Isnt it weird how Trump calls CNN fake news? But is fine with Fox News... despite how much share Rupert Murdoch a media tycoon owns in that whole business? Self interest money + Two party system is a weird system
Bring out the truth!
I'd bet money it was his family after his money.
Really loving Margaret Cho's narration skills, I could listen to her read the phone book.
Where can I find the credits to this research?
What does that sentence mean?
Heartless, double standard human being. No feelings to his workers or the country (UK) that he is supposed to protect.
THIS GUY CHEATED SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HIS DEATH SHOULD NOT EVEN BE MENTIONED.
He got off way too easily. But he will not escape Divine judgment.
@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 The man above has some great plans for the bum. I am certain as you "Claes" that he will no get what he rightfully deserves. Peace VF
I disagree his story needs to put out there. There are many like him and I think the Greeks did morality plays because people like Maxwell have been around forever and will continue to be around. It's like saying don't tell Trumps story, or Hitlers, Putin's, Epstein, Saddam Hussein, Khadaffi of Libya, Pol Pot.
Ron Rosen who wrote "Explaining Hitler" said we can't just call Hitler evil and let it go at that. We need to understand what created him so that we can stop creating people like this. It goes for all of these people. We need to stop creating them in childhood by treating children in a loving manner and having their needs met and no abusive behavior and much more.
Ghislaine worked for the Mossad like her father did before her
Aside from everything people talk about him trying to show him as a bad person, the guy was a winner.
I never thought I'd take Rupert Murdoch's side in anything, but hearing that he was a rival made me slightly not hate him as much.
Murdoch and Maxwell are 2 peas in a pod and were in competition so they of course didn't like each other. I'm pretty sure both are either narcissists or sociopaths.
Very interesting dude, impressive
One of the biggest intelligence agents
He was a double agent.
Cher sang it best: Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.
Wow, just wow!
These was not your most well researched video. Peres was not Israeli President in 1991 and he wasn't prime minster either. Yitzhak Shamir was the Prime Minster and Chaim Herzog was the president. Also, I get that you want to emphasize that he was a generally bad actor for most of his business career (which he was), but denigrating his service in WWII doesn't help that point.
I agree, the tone of the narration of Maxwell's earlier life is totally off. He experienced incredible tragedy, which doesn't in anyway excuse his behaviour but losing your family to the holocaust is an unmitigated tragedy.
He was a spy an triple agent...look up Whitney Webb
I am not a crook ! I earned everything I stole !
Very disturbing. In fact, this Ian Robert Maxwell sounds an awful lot-- like Donald Trump. Even though he hated Don The Con.🤷🤔
Go figure.
People with similar personalities often despise each other. They see too much of their worst qualities in the other person.
It's like looking in the mirror without looking in the mirrors on many levels and degrees.
Except that unlike Robert Maxwell, Trump is a pedophile.
Opposite attract positives repel
Their both malignant narcissists and or sociopaths like Putin, and many others.
Muy buen informe
More Margaret Cho narration, please!
His life trajectory seems so unusual. He is an ode of disgust yet can't help but to admire his hustle mode of life
Admire a Mossad spy as much as you want.
The standard of research could have been better. For instance, Robert and Elisabeth remained married until his death. Don't know from where or how you got the idea that they divorced.
Why do I feel like this is Ghislaine with a fake account lol
Me here after watching JRE....and when bam! Yep its all making sense now!
Explain please
Wait...her actual name was actually Ghis Koch? 🤔 Checks out
Hoch.
I remember when newspapers were important & money makers. Now slowly dying. I still work for them decades later. Lol wont say which one, but I still like the work, but some fallen into the gutter. I find it interesting how her father had a mysterious death - suicide? And she picked s partner like her father? Always trying to please - like her dad? Who fooled around on her mother, maybe that’s why she was able to tolerate JE because she had been trained since birth
Or maybe, he took a lesson from people in power in WW2 Germany, and disappeared to South America.
Also interesting how Epstein's death pix had earlobes that didn't match his previous earlobes.
We know the Mossad killed him . He was blackmailing them , or tried . He was there to pick up his money or so he thought .
First heard about him from the mouth of Alex Jones .
And now the Deep State Satanic Marxist Bolsheviks are pulling ANOTHER Jim Jones Kool aid event.
Divoc
"Spanish Flu"
100 years before that...
It goes on and on and on. It will be stopped very soon
You listen to that a$$clown?😂
He was well known in Europe, at least
@@jorgegomez524 I'm Indian
@@coimbralaw Alex Jones was on the Joe Rogan podcast and talked about Ghislaine's father.
Can you do one of these on Ken Griffin from Citadel Securities
So wait...his enemy bought his boat after he died?!?!
If behaviour is an indicator of character, which I believe it is, then he was probably very repellent.
Remember the Saville show in the uk every morning in the 80s. That talk show host had 300 known victims and was given the keys to the children's hospital
All appraised by the queen who blessed him or whatever and the UK country in general was taught to love him
Not accused she got found guilty !
He is a horrible person but it is really distasteful to ridicule the hardships of his youth. This man was the victim of some of the worst crimes against humanity!
thank you for saying that
Still a crook…
@@jos.3649 I didn't argue with that but the holocaust is hardly an adrquate punishment, especially against ayoung man who didn't do nothing wrong at that point. Maybe, and I'm just guessing here, the holocaust even influenced him negatively
@@1stAma most likely it did. It was an atrocity. 6 million European Jews were killed. Families were destroyed.
Where was the ridicule
Fix your volume... couldn't listen to more then 30 seconds
Strange. You didn't mention his whole family being murdered. Seems pretty important to his life story.
Yes, she said they were all killed in a camp. I think she said it around the 3 minute mark.
I don't think he just fell off his boat.
I don’t understand why he didn’t run to Israel to escape from his debts, unless they were the ones who killed him? I can’t see him committing suicide at all.
I like the writing of the video and it's quite unique because it's this man only medium form video biography on YT and it's quality. But the tone of voice is not a good choice for this video.
I had no idea anything about this family. Wild
OMG his daughter looks exactly like him
Read about him years ago
7:45 straight forward fella, I'd say, telling it like it is. "I was trying to buy a propaganda machine for my party but someone beat me to it."
The really skipped these parts in the Tetris movie.
I see Margaret Cho, I click. Enjoying this series.
Cho treats restaurant and club workers like garbage and says things like "dont you know who I am" shes pure trash
No Poor gew out there . Not a single one . How can this be? 🤔
Hard to listen to with dramatic music overlayed
An even *stranger* case than Maxwell's is ... Margaret Cho narrating a news piece.
So Ghislaine dated a charismatic, power-hungry fraudster just like her dear old dad?
Freud would have had a field day with this one.
We unfortuntely are subconsciously attracted to people like are parents for better or worse. In her case definitely for the worse.
What a creep
That explains Ghislaine...
They were both very likable and achieved a lot of success, dispute what people say or what Ghislaine did, they were both winners in life
0:26 was the picture of the narrator appropriate & professional ? This is a well respected Channel that can compete with every mainstream TV news channels. Idk why did she use this type of a picture
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!
He's kinda a WWII hero, amirite?
Background music too loud.
I like this vid. Good insight. Ms Cho has my attention and ofcause is contraversial.
Well written. Good production. Childish narration - ruins it
Clearly has a lot of ability. Shame he used it for ill
Who is Darrell Brooks Jr.?
Don’t forget how they tried to get the video game and handheld rights on Tetris
Say what you will about him and his daughter, he’s one of the most fascinating characters I’ve ever heard of.
Not a good thing. That's what they want you to think. One could say the same about Bundy. Not a good look.
@@TheCandiceWang I was going to say the same thing. Manson, Jim Jones, Hitler, Stalin we're all fascinating people for what they did in life. They leave destruction in their wake.
Interms of the legacy... yeah. Rupert Murdoch is the current one now. Apparently James Bond Tommorow Never Dies had this villain called Elliot Carver, he is based on Robert Maxwell
Running child and human trafficking worldwide,,,,? Who taught His daughter and Epstein....?
@@TheCandiceWang - I do say the same thing about Bundy. He’s fascinating.
Czechoslovakia was NEVER a part of a Soviet Union -- get your facts straight, please
Slatinské Doly where Maxwell was born was at the time part of Czechoslovakia, later it was separated from it and became a part of CCCP, read up properly before you tell people they're wrong.
Always adding Trump like a villain 🤬🤬🤬
