After a long hiatus, George Soros has returned to trading, lured by opportunities to profit from what he sees as coming economic troubles.

Worried about the outlook for the global economy and concerned that large market shifts may be at hand, the billionaire hedge-fund founder and philanthropist recently directed a series of big, bearish investments, according to people close to the matter.

I like the scenario of bagging Soros, putting him on a private jet blindfolded, and when he takes the blindfold off he finds himself in Malaysia looking at the gallows. I would not be able to return to the United States but I would probably live like a king in Malaysia.
My father always asks why Mossad hasn’t whacked him after what he did to his fellow Jews.

Your father has a good question. Better yet, they could smuggle him into Malaysia like they smuggled Eichmann into Jerusalem.

Wasn’t Soros the main financier for BHO?

Philanthropist...You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
