'''Baron Maupertuis''' was a wealthy [[19th century]] criminal. | |||
Maupertuis was Dutch and owned the [[Netherlands-Sumatra Company]]. Around [[1887]], he became a naturalised British citizen. He attempted to be extremely British by doing things like making friends with the [[Edward VII|Prince of Wales]] and going to [[Ascot]]. [[Mycroft Holmes]] and his associates suspected Maupertuis was engaging in untoward business arrangement, so they invited him to join the [[Diogenes Club]] to keep a better eye on him. | Maupertuis was Dutch and owned the [[Netherlands-Sumatra Company]].
