A secretive group of Wall Street hedge fund bosses are said to be behind a plot to cash in on the decline of the euro.
Representatives of George Soros's investment business were among an all-star line up of Wall Street investors at an 'ideas dinner' at a private townhouse in Manhattan, according to reports.
A spokesman for Soros Fund Management said the legendary investor did not attend the dinner on February 8, but did not deny that his firm was represented.
At the dinner, the speculators are said to have argued that the euro is likely to plunge in value to parity with the dollar.
The single currency has been under enormous pressure because of Greece's debt crisis, plus financial worries in Portugal, Italy, Spain and Ireland.

It’s what he does for a living. Pulling BO’s strings is just a hobby.
There was a news show on CNN this morning, some Arab name sounding host had a couple pundits on there, one was associated with soros.
One thing that was said that was disturbing was about Greece.
Greece is tied in to the EU economically, but not fiscally.
In other words, there will be no success in the EU unless all nations are merged as one for all policy, and not just monetary policy.
Can anyone say World Governance?
That's what UNaccountable bureaucrats, EUROCRATS and AMEROCRATS are for.
Defund/dismantle anti-individual, anti-freedom collectives.
Putin is Soro's nemisis. The KGB is more likely to kill Soros than work with him.
Given the high level of enemies (both government and non-government) that Soros is creating, being smacked financially should be the least of his worries.
On the other hand, maybe not, he may have a superb personal protection staff and resources.
