Talk:Elisabeth Maxwell

Pension fund theft, fraud by Robert Maxwell
Restoring the mention of fraud due to the following: The missing pension funds discovered following the death of the subject's husband were described by the Independent as "the largest fraud in modern British corporate history." Coverage by the New York Times supports this as well. That is notable. It is accurate in the common use of fraud rather than the criminally convicted sense. The subject's husband died before the missing pension funds were discovered, two of the sons were charged with fraud but later acquitted as it was their father who was responsible for these decisions that resulted in the loss of the funds. In an article 20 years later the Guardian stated that "Maxwell had committed a massive fraud by plundering his employees' pension funds in order to shore up his companies."

A "second-hand Morris estate"
A ‘second hand Morris estate’ must be a car. If Mr & Mrs Maxwell were so poor at the start of their married life that they were living in a car, then I think I would have been able to find something about this on the internet. I don’t have access to the Times source. Does anyone know what it actually says about this? Sweet6970 (talk) 10:20, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * it was included as a quotation precisely because it is not clear what the "second-hand Morris estate" actually is. I wondered as well, but any assumption is a disservice. Those in the UK may have some insights that outsiders lack. Cedar777 (talk) 17:53, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
