The Rise and Fall of Ghislaine Maxwell

From The New York Post:

Thursday’s arrest of accused Jeffrey Epstein “madam” Ghislaine Maxwell caps a spectacular fall from grace for the once-well-connected British socialite — who spent much of her life clawing her way back into the upper crust from family scandal. Born in December 1961, she grew up one of seven children of publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell, who saw himself as the UK’s Joseph P. Kennedy — the head of a family dynasty that would wield international influence in finance and politics, according to the Telegraph. Ghislaine, his youngest daughter, was considered the “favorite” and would often try to please the cold, demanding patriarch.

“He would interrogate them at the dinner table about history or geopolitics,” one frequent guest at the family’s estate in southern England told the Telegraph. “He could reduce them to tears if they didn’t know an answer. He could be a cold man and the temperature in the house dropped noticeably when he was there.” Ghislaine was sent to Marlborough, one of England’s top private schools, and then studied at Oxford University, the outlet reported.

From Trending Politics:

Hoffenberg served 18 years in jail for conducting one of the largest Ponzi schemes in United States history with Epstein. He is now saying that Maxwell will "totally cooperate" with federal investigators to avoid maximum jail time. 

“They knew where she was all the time [in New Hampshire],” Hoffenberg said. “It was a question if America was going to take the case or not, now America has made up its mind to take the case.” 

Hoffenberg, who still has contact with the spokesperson to Maxwell, says that Maxwell did not think she would ever be arrested. 

“If they keep her in prison, she’ll crack in two seconds,” he said. “She’s not able to take that sort of cruel punishment, prison is too tough and hard, she’ll have to be in solitary confinement, and she’ll snap.” 

“She’s going to cooperate and be very important,” he continued, adding that things may get very bad for some prominent people like the UK’s Prince Andrew. “Andrew may be very concerned, and there’s a lot of people very worried, a lot of powerful people been named [in the scandal], and she knows everything.” (Read more.)
