Man who broke the Bank of England, George Soros, 'at centre of hedge funds plot to cash in on fall o

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1253791/Is-man-broke-Bank-England-George-Soros-centre-hedge-funds-betting-crisis-hit-euro.html#ixzz0gxN56iiu


A secretive group of Wall Street hedge fund bosses are said to be behind a plot to cash in on the decline of the euro.
Representatives of George Soros's investment business were among an all-star line up of Wall Street investors at an 'ideas dinner' at a private townhouse in Manhattan, according to reports.
A spokesman for Soros Fund Management said the legendary investor did not attend the dinner on February 8, but did not deny that his firm was represented.
At the dinner, the speculators are said to have argued that the euro is likely to plunge in value to parity with the dollar.

-snip-

Mr Soros, who made more than $1billion by currency speculation when the pound was ejected from the Exchange Rate Mechanism on Black Wednesday in 1992, believes the structure of the euro is 'patently flawed'.

-long snip mostly talking about Greece, etc.-

4. So? Just means that he doesn't want to be one of the first against the wall
When the peasants revolt.

Rockefeller, Hammer and J.P. Morgan and other wealthy industrialists and bankers often painted themselves as philanthropists concerned with causes "of the Left", too. Public libraries, schools, educational grants, arts programs, legal aid, health care aid - all those nice, pretty charities to show they care about the virtuous poor or working classes - and keep "those people" happy, in their place - and looking the other way while the robber barons played monopoly for their own benefit using taxpayer funded policies.

There's a lot of scum in the wake of George Soros when you look at his past. The fact that certain loudmouths want to paint him as a Leftist Bogeyman doesn't actually make him a Champion of the Left. It just shows that he's flexible enough to pick which side to butter his bread on to save his "legacy" at the moment.
Even Warren Buffett is no saint or champion of the left; he's just a reasonably smart and lucky guy with somewhat of a conscious.
