Robert Maxwell, built a publishing empire through Pergamon Press (interestingly, the biblical name for Satan’s throne) -

100% false. Pergamon (modern-day Bergama, Turkey) was a major Hellenistic and Roman city, renowned as a premier center of art, science, and learning, with the then-largest known library in the Greek world.

What ridiculous ignorance.

Well, he wasn't far off. Pergamon is named in Revelation 2:12-16 as the place where Satan has his throne:

“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,

‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword:
“I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

Revelation 2:12,13:

“12 And to the angel of the church in

Pergamos

write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,

even where Satan’s seat is:

and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you,

where Satan dwelleth. “.
