From the Forbes 2009 list of billionaires
1. William Gates III $40.0 billion
2. Warren Buffett $37.0 billion
3. Carlos Slim Helu $35.0 billion
4. Lawrence Ellison $22.5 billion
5. Ingvar Kamprad $22.0 billion
...
29. George Soros $11.0 billion

The $550 billion withdrawal seems beyond the reach of individual billionaires. But not of some nations.

Does Soros’ figure include his many companies
as well?

Peter Lewis, (Progressive), Soros comrade of like
bent ideology is likely in there, too. I’m sure
there are many demons in his circle. Wouldn’t
take many mega wealthy creeps to pool their
efforts .. all the while they were investing it
in other pre-planned and conspired investments.

Yes .. definitely unfriendly nations, sheiks
and cartels. I also keep thinking about Marc
Rich and his network.

Isn’t Barney Frank going after the books of
the Fed ?

The word is “institutional investors.”

That could mean

1. Insurance companies (think Progressive)

2. Hedge funds

3 Pension Funds (State retirement systems,and especially Union )

4 Maybe big investment houses like Goldman Sachs.

The investment bankers would have had an attentive audience to spread whispers about a run, thus precipitating one, a la Schuemer and Indy.

And there didn’t actually have to be an actual $550 billion withdrawal, just enough so they could convincingly claim that there had been.
