If you didn't know this, it'd be weird how many academics are in the Epstein files. Once you do know it, it's obvious.

Oh, and Robert Maxwell was legitimately a badass in WW2. Everything terrible about him starts after that.

People that do well in wartime and during peacetime are different type of people.

He was indeed a badass... and a war criminal (although I admit dude was incensed about Germany killing his Jewish family, so I get it) But seriously, a mayor?

The best villain origin stories start as heroes. Robert Maxwell is essentially Magneto if his power was greed and pedophilia instead of magnetism.
