Sorry Page Not Found! By Richard Miller (London)

When one Googles The Guardian about their story involving the late Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, one finds that the story has been pulled, and there is the "Sorry – we haven't been able to serve the page you asked for" thingy:

Very well, we will shop elsewhere. Oh, wait problem solved, is the archived version up? No, it is not. Nor does the Internet Archive Wayback machine help, it has not archived this URL. Now why might that be? In any case this is still up on The Guardian website:

"One of the world's most celebrated financiers, Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, has been accused of exploiting his position at the storied bank to abuse women who worked with him.

The claims against De Rothschild, two years after his death, come from several women who said they felt unable to raise their concerns while he was still alive, because of his position within the bank and the British establishment. They spoke to the Guardian on condition of anonymity.

Among the allegations are that he seriously sexually assaulted and harassed several women in the mid and late 1990s when they worked for NM Rothschild.

De Rothschild had a reputation for being autocratic and feared, with one source describing him as "totalitarian". He was a financial adviser to the late Queen Elizabeth, whom he accompanied to Royal Ascot races, and was knighted in 1989.

Although historical, their claims are likely to raise questions about the working culture experienced by women within the Rothschild banking empire, which comprises a complex range of wealth advisory and investment banking services.

De Rothschild, who died aged 91, was chair of NM Rothschild for more than 20 years and also served on the boards of the Economist and the parent company of the Daily Telegraph. A scion of one of the most famous dynasties in global banking, he spent 44 years working within Rothschild family businesses.

According to sources who spoke to the Guardian, he used his office within NM Rothschild, a stone's throw from the Bank of England in the City of London, to force himself upon women over several years.

More than eight sources, some with direct experience of events, described incidents dating from the mid and late 1990s. However, multiple sources claimed that this kind of misconduct by De Rothschild went unchecked for decades."

The question must be asked, why are these accusations made now after the man is dead?
