Maxwell, the late owner of Mirror Newspapers, invested $2 million in Mr Romney's first private equity fund, which launched the controversial career in finance that the Republican presidential challenger now cites as proof of his ability to lead the US to prosperity.

He was recruited by Lyons, a late colleague of Mr Romney's at Bain & Company and one of the "Guinness Four" who were convicted in 1990 over the infamous share-trading fraud at the drinks firm. Lyons and his family invested almost $3 million in Mr Romney's fund.

“Guinness Four”, eh? Wonder if there is a familial tie to the Guinness family which Rachel Chandler-Guinness married into?

Whiskey Foxtrotting Tango? Really?

Regarding the “Guinness Four” mentioned in the article I have to wonder how deep this rabbit hole goes...

Rachel Chandler-Guinness married into the Guinness beer family. She is a direct descendent of the Chandler family who made their fortune and fame in the publishing business in Los Angeles, CA. The Dorothy Chandler Pavillion was named after her grandmother or great grandmother. Rachel Chandler is tied to Jeffry Epstein and pizzagate. There are many pictures seen on the internet of her as a very young teenager with Bill Clinton, (on Epstein’s airplane!) She was also pictured with many other famous people as a young girl including Eminem and Sean “P Diddy” Combs and others who I cannot recall.

It’s legend that Maxwell wasn’t alone when he died, either.
