Right now, I don’t think it’s that implausible, as these people are not really all that smart. Money often is a substitute for thinking. So her idea of being clever might have been “oh, I’ll go where they least expect, to Los Angeles, and act like I am middle class! No one will expect me there, and from there I can plot my next move…”

To me, the most recognizable part of her is her hair, which is in a cut that is easy to spot from a distance.
One would think, if she really cared, she might change her hairstyle or wear a hat.

Or maybe not. When talking about dieting, “She said, ‘I do it the way Nazis did it with the Jews, the Auschwitz diet. I just don’t eat.’”

Like father, like daughter… well I don’t know that Robert Maxwell was involved in child traficking (but it wouldn’t be a mad surprise) but he was a disgusting criminal who spend everyone else’s pensions.
As an aside he made loads of money founding academic journals (Pergammon Press made an “International Journal of…” pretty much everything to cash in on the the rise in funding post WWII for scientific research and universities) but was banned from running companies from about 73 on because of the “accounting” they did. Somehow it didn’t stop him robbing his employees blind and dying mysteriously off his yacht (the Lady Ghislaine…) when it came to light.
He was also a Mossad agent and a Labour MP as well as being part of the wealthy establishment so the family probably feels protected from any consequences.

He also published a series of books on world leaders that seemed to focus on Communist dictators. I have his book on Ceaușescu - Ceaușescu: Builder of Modern Romania that made him seem like a hero rather than a psychopath.

Whether they’re operating at a municipal/county scale, a state/regional one, a national one, or a global one, there are some families that are just bloody scourges on society. The Maxwells are one of them.

We have a Five Guys on Robson Street in Vancouver; it’s grossly overpriced for what you get.
True. Could be a bit of both, though.

I expected her to be spotted at the bus station, looking for wide-eyed innocent girls from Kansas.

I think it’s still good, but yes, the prices have risen steeply over the past 5-10 years as its popularity has grown. $15 for a nice fast-food meal hurts my wallet.
