#1 There is nothing illegal about insider trading. What is illegal, is trading on insider priveleged information. And that is difficult to prove.

#2 If this is true, then it shouldn't have been difficult to prove:

"The FT article states that Soros had been privately informed in 1988 of the coming takeover of a French bank (he had been invited to participate in the takeover, but declined). He then he bought stock in the bank that was to be taken over."

That is insider privileged information.

Soros, pure as the driven snow...lol.

He has blood on his hands. This point should be made every time this opportunists name is mentioned.

#4 An ethical man knows it is wrong to cheat but may choose to do so anyway but a moral man knows both right and wrong but will choose to act with integrity. Soros is neither ethical nor moral.

#6 Soros, like no other demonic presence on our Earth today; provides evil in excess for those of us that pray to be delivered from it...

I wouldn't spit in his mouth if his teeth were on fire.
