He is suggesting that there is some link between Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
Ghislaine met Jeffrey Epstein the year Robert fell off the Lady Ghislaine. She did so because she was in NY schmoozing socialites because Sir Bob had bought a paper -- NY Post was it?
Robert Maxwell was a strange, multi-faceted bloke, a sort of chaotic-neutral crook and spy, and yet he really most likely just fell off his boat after having a heart attack, because he was a very large (by 90s standards) and very unhealthy old-looking man who didn't listen to advice about diet, exercise, health and risk, and was stressed out by being in unprecedented debt. He would not have committed suicide; not his style.
There's no big story to link the two, apart from the fact that Ghislaine wouldn't have been there at all mingling in the high-end social scene in early 90s New York if she weren't the daughter of a media baron who had just bought a paper.
If anyone did "whack" Robert Maxwell it had nothing to do with Epstein, who was at the beginning of his career as a blackmailer, grifter, influence broker and deviant. It's not even clear they met.
It would have had more to do with all the people Maxwell upset in his long, storied life as a potential triple-agent, spy, fraudster and bully.
Sorry but what does this have to do with Eyes Wide Shut and why it's definitely got to be the case that Kubrick had an issue with the British ratings agency? Hello? Anyone home?
Just wanted to respond to the idea that the intrigue, such as there is, around Robert Maxwell’s death is logically connected to the intrigue around Ghislaine.
The central disease of QAnon/BritAnon thinking is the belief in omniconspiracy, when it’s entirely normal for notable people to be connected by only a handful of degrees of separation, just like everyone else is.
Every now and then the omniconspiracy touches on something a bit unusual —- this, or a dead staffer, say —- and uses mere proximity to establish a connection that doesn’t exist, and then uses that connection to magnify and anchor the conspiracy.
