paperclipped
Held by metal
Paperclipped describes something fastened with a paperclip: The receipt was paperclipped to the invoice.
The word also alludes to Operation Paperclip, the post-WWII American program that recruited Nazi scientists.
In this sense, paperclipped suggests being quietly absorbed into a new organization despite a problematic past: War criminals were paperclipped into the intelligence agency.
