New Recruits

Eddie remarks, "it's a bit like setting up a pension fund with Robert Maxwell".

Robert Maxwell famously went from poverty to publishing magnate, but after his death in 1991 his empire crumbled when it was discovered that he'd drained his employees' pension funds and used the money to bail out his publishing business. He stole well over £100 million and left his employees with less than half their retirement funds. His companies declared bankruptcy the year after his death, unable to pay off the more than £400 million (about $550 million) in debt they'd accrued.

The newspaper article about Paul Fowler keeps repeating.
