Robert Maxwell's oily fingers were in so many industries, it was insane. He's a hated figure in the UK - partly because of his general shittiness, but mainly for fucking over a load of pension pots. He's on the scale slightly above James Corden; but slightly below Margaret Thatcher for general hatred.

If anyone has seen Tetris of late, that film paints Maxwell and his cronies in an appropriate light.

It's a shame, because Mirrorsoft were a decent publisher as well.

Oh my god, I didn't realize this was the same Maxwell. Depicted with cartoonish levels of nefariousness maybe just one step under Baron Harkonnen.

Yeah. You could literally substitute the news of his "disappearance" with the Surprised Pikachu meme.

Absolute arsehole of a spunkpuppet.
