Me too. Wonder if he was also behind the oil price run-up.
It would have been pretty easy to do:
Run up oil prices on speculation then naked short financial stocks to bring not only their value down, but also the value of their reserve assets (mark-to-market) causing them to cover the reserve loss with cash. You can bring a big bank down like that in a hurry.
The timing was too impeccable for it not to have been engineered by someone or some group.
I thought Soros was behind the oil price run-up, too. He has said publicly that he hates the US and wants to destroy it. I will try to look for a link. And, by the way, his father and other members of his family were complicit with the Nazis in WWII.
