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.
