Did you ever see the money, "The Sting"? Good movie and at the end the avaricious crooked Doyle Lonnagan (played by Robert Shaw) is being hurried out of a basement which was presented to him as an illegal horse race betting establishment. They have an inside wire line to horse racing tracks and supposedly you can't lose there. He keeps shouting, "My money! I want MY money back!", as they hustle him out after the sting comes in.
Lonnagan obviously has the feeling that he (of all people!) has been swindled, but he knows he'll never able to prove it.
For some reason, I wonder if George Soros didn't react somewhat similarly on Nov. 3, 2004.:)
