"French authorities have not yet determined what fine Soros will pay."

$27 million seems fair.

I think they have something in France that can take care of the George Soros problem... THE GUILLOTINE

George Soros isn't that popular in the Republic of Georgia either, and I am not talking Dixie either.

"Apart from this case, Soros' record is unblemished after five decades in finance."

He's just not gotten caught, since. He's commie filth and socialist garbage.

Let's deport him to the frogs - on the condition that either:[1] they impose the death penalty on him, or [2] He has to share a cell with Chirac, when Chirac's term ends, and he goes to the joint for the no - nos he did as Mayor of Paris.

I always wondered if Soros "escaped" the Holocaust by ditching his uniform.

The two men were immediately arrested by the police. The radical nationalist group Bratstvo (Brotherhood) claimed responsibility for the attack. The group accused Mr Soros of trying to repeat in Ukraine the Georgia-type "velvet revolution" of last November. Some critics have suggested that Mr Soros' Open Society Institute played a role in the ouster of Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze, who was forced resigned amid mass public protests. 31 March, 2004

Soros was thirteen years old when Nazi Germany took military control over its ally Hungary (March 19, 1944), and started exterminating over 500,000 Hungarian Jews (about two-thirds of the prewar population) [1]. In the following year, Soros survived the battle of Budapest, as Soviet and Nazi forces fought house-to-house through the city. George first traded currencies during the Hungarian hyperinflation of 1945-46 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Soros#Early_life

One wonders how George Soros could trade currencies when he was only a 14 year old Jew during the year 1945

The Court of Cassation upheld the 75-year-old American financier's conviction for buying and selling Societe Generale shares in 1988 after receiving information about a planned corporate raid on the bank. Apart from this case, Soros' record is unblemished after five decades in finance.

Anyone remember the AP or any MSM outlet writing such about any conservative?

That European Court of Human Rights will be in a pickle over this- on the one hand he may be a crook, but on the other he's an anti-American crook, wonder how they will rule?;)
