SOROS' INSIDER CONVICTION BACKSTORY Billionaire says he didn't have insider knowledge

Soros, who is spending big bucks to defeat Bush, and is aligned with the Clintons in this endeavor, was subsequently convicted of insider trading. However, in all of the news stories of Soros' political activities, no mention was made of the conviction.

A 14 year old case. Fourteen years! What a sick, sad joke the justice system has become. Those with enough money to spend can keep cases going on and on and on forever. Soros will die of old age before this will be resolved by the courts. Pathetic, truly pathetic.

[gaspar]

I promise to say nothing bad about the French for two years if they tag Soros with a jail term.

BACKSTORY 11/8/02: American billionaire investor George Soros, on trial in a 14-year-old insider trading case, told a court Friday that he didn't have privileged information when he bought shares in French bank Societe Generale. ....... "I have been in business all my life and I think I know what is insider trading and what isn't," said the president of Soros Fund Management, in court with six defense lawyers.........Hungarian-born Soros has been on trial....with two others: Jean-Charles Naouri, former head of the office of France's then-Finance Minister Pierre Beregovoy; and Lebanese businessman Samir Traboulsi.

Now in league with the conniving Clintons to defeat President Bush, I wonder if Soros knows a losing political game when he sees one (/sarcasm).

And now I read that Soros is speculating against the US dollar, that it will plummet in the near future. When someone as powerful as Soros makes a move, it really goes beyond 'insider trading'. What does Soros know about coming US events?

Insider trading only means that someone had intimate knowledge of coming events and acted on that knowledge. Soros and his kind just make things happen.

According to some, Soros is the anti-Christ. Given his religion, and his actions, I tend to agree.

Soros has billions. A fine of a few millions or a legal slap on the wrist won't bother him much. He strikes me as the kind of guy who will only be brought low by old age and death.

He has spent recent years engaged in philanthropy.

Philanthropy(fi-lan-thræ-pee) n. pl. phi·lan·thro·pies (fi-lan-thræ-peez).

The euphoric fulfillment of individual hegemonic intent that
utilizes a carefully contrived strategy involving the personal
financing of specific coups d'etat and the ongoing financial
support of all political entities that endorse "world-wide
Communistic rule".

[truthandjustice1]

"Soros is in a better position than us to know, fear, and prevent any plans to misuse American power that might be floating around."

And you believe Soros to be smarter than the GWB policies?

[thoughtomator]

It depends on what the meaning of "insider trading" is, I wager.

[TaxRelief]

?!? Dude, backatcha! Have you ever heard of Moveon.org or the Antiwar Coalition?

Perhaps you missed this post and this thread:

There are rumors that Soros is trying to trigger a run on the dollar, hoping to profit on the destruction of the US economy the way he did from Malaysia's.

If this happens, and the US electorate blames Soros and the Dems, we'll not see a Dem elected to public office again in our lifetime.

You should pay attention to Soros's Open Society org.
He is a tranzi. Your hatred of neocons is blinding you.

I promise not to buy some French wine if they convict Soros!
