If there is anyone in this world that needs to be skinned alive and rolled in salt
If he was so much in favor of remaining that he invested funds in support of the remain campaign, then it is surely likely that his currency speculation would have been in favor of the stronger Pound. And in the weeks leading up to Brexit vote, the Pound strengthened since it became a consensus mantra that the remain vote would win.
Instead, the Pound absolutely cratered in value as the returns came in with a leave result. Of course, Soros might have gone ‘flat’—ie.got out of all currency trades in the Pound—just in time before the vote as did most professional traders I suspect.
However, it would have been hugely ironic if the man who claimed to have broken the Pound by his speculation manouevers years ago would have lost a lot of money via the Brexit vote.
