>>509974759he was killed because he stole his employees pension fund and owed billions of dollars to scary people (1980s dollars, not 2025 dollars)
the narrative of the night of his death is super incredibly sus though (he was on a fully staffed yacht, which included full-time sentries and bodyguards, none of whom heard anything when he supposedly had a heart attack and fell off his boat, nor did they notice he was missing for several hours, nor did they report the incident for several more hours, nor did they involve the authorities after that, and by the time they found Maxwell's body he was supposedly so chewed up by fish that he was unrecognizable
personally i'm most curious about the men he had dinner with in the hotel before he left on his final yacht cruise (iirc, from rabat? or casablanca?). i don't think those details have ever been made public.
he was working closely with Israeli intelligence, but also pissing them off pretty heavily, so it's a toss-up between Mossad having him killed, or Mossad helping him fake his death like they did Epstein.
by all accounts Ghislaine really was very upset though (luckily, she had Hillary Clinton's best bud Lynn Forester de Rothschild's shoulder to cry on and apartment to stay in once she landed in NYC)
there are some people who suggest that Ghislaine received MKultra monarch trauma-based mind control "sex kitten" programming as a child (Robert Maxwell was notoriously into BDSM stuff apparently, and used programming/brainwashing techniques on his kids to make them into high achievers- Ghislaine was the youngest and his favorite who he was also very hard on) and this accounts for her high libido, and involvement in sex blackmail spy stuff instead of computer spy stuff like her sisters or business spy stuff like her brothers.
