While the U.S. Congress (and American left in general) is demonizing anyone in the financial sector that’s making any kind of money, here’s one gentleman Barney Frank would never dream of grilling up on the Hill.
And talk about the days of seat-squirming the left would be doing after such testimony…
George Soros, who predicted the global financial crisis twice before, was one of the few people to anticipate and prepare for the current economic collapse. Mr Soros said his prediction meant he was better able to brace his Quantum investment fund against the global storm.
But other investors failed to take notice of his prediction and his decision to come out of retirement in 2007 to manage the fund made him $US2.9 billion. And while the financial crisis continued to deepen across the globe, the 78-year-old still managed to make $1.1 billion last year.
‘It is, in a way, the culminating point of my life’s work,’ he told national newspaper The Australian.
Funny how people who make money are demeaned as evil, except when it’s one of the people who fund them.
And when you think about how many people worldwide have lost their jobs and had their lives totally disshevled because of the economic crash, while he brags about how it’s “the culmination of his life’s work”, we really see what true progressives are all about.

Where are the people who are supposed to go after market manipulation...etal. Is the entire federal law enforcement community in Seotoro's pocket?
It’s easy to make a prediction and have it come true if you have democrats doing your bidding for you.
This is Soros’ MO.
He is still wanted in Russia for currency manipulation. He made billions when the Rouble crashed, going from $0.16 to $0.03.
The Russian authorities raided Georgie’s offices in Moscow in November 2005, but Georgie wasn’t there. A lot of the chumps that worked for him in his Moscow office are spending the rest of their considerably shortened lives in miserable Russian prisons.
Too bad we don’t have an extridition treaty with Russia.
Pathetic.
If there has ever been a case of the foxes being in charge of the hen house, this is that case. And they strut and posture and bellow at those who have been dragged before their 'committees.'
October Surprise to THROW Election2008, driven by Paulson/Geithner/Dodd/Obama and the so-willing MSM.
FLASHBACK: from 9/15/08:
How did Obama know THEN
that we would experience the ‘most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression’
when those who did not plan the takeover would not know for three more months?
October 10, 2008, another massive selloff.
Soros better enjoy his last months on earth, because an eternity in hell is a long, long time.
In the coming storm, Soros will not find a rock to hind under. This SOB and his seed should be skinned alive.
So we have established a precedent that the gummint can come after money that was “earned improperly” now. So why are we not taking Soros money away from him?
Mlon Labe!
Most of our government are pompous, Louie the XIV, egotistical, lazy, pseudo intellectual, greedy @sses who only worry about money and their constituents (so they can get reelected to get more money/perks/power). Of course they are in Soros’s pocket along with the MSM. All need to be purged. I know just the laxative - the American people getting fed up!
Certainly the man who planned the mess we are in now should have made money off it.
If he's not careful, those works may land him in the other place besides Heaven - and that place is no fun.

What would it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?
Exactly: The Lord said it well!
Do you know if the picture you posted of B.O. walking with that book entitled, “The Post-American World”, is an actual picture, or if it has been photo-shopped?
If it is photo-shopped, it isn’t going to help our credibility here on FR to circulate it.
Soros CAUSES market crashes, that’s how he makes his money.
