Epstein / Prince Andrew / Maxwell

Seen some stuff on social media claiming that it depends on how you pronounce the late nonce's name denotes whether you are anti-semitic or not? My only thought was Rick Stein and Jock Stein,,, for the record in my schooldays I was taught the second vowel ( ie Rick ) wins it?
Corbyn was heavily criticized for that, pronouncing it German like Ep-shtein, instead of Epstine.
It was regarded as anti Semitic.
 
To my knowledge Stein is a German word, with “ei” pronounced in native tongue as in “mine”. Example: Einstein, which is normally pronounced correctly.

Anything else is presumably a result of Anglicisation or Americanisation and appears to be inconsistent. But how Weinstein became “Wine steen” fcuk only knows. Doesn’t make sense.
 
ABC has been running a special report for the last couple hours. I knew the guy was a piece of garbage but I didn't realize how awful he was. I also didn't realize how hard the gov't worked to not prosecute him.
