George Soros dealt a deserved blow in Europe

His illegal insider trading in France was wrong, and the courts there right to convict him over it. It's still being upheld (Hat tip: Big Journalism):
PARIS—The European Court of Human Rights ruled Thursday that French courts didn't breach European law when they convicted billionaire investor George Soros for insider trading in the late 1980s.

In a blow to Mr. Soros's two decade-long legal battle to clear his name, judges at the European court said that French law on insider trading was sufficiently clear to provide grounds for a conviction. [...]

The case dates back to 1988 when Mr. Soros invested in French bank Société Générale and sold his shares soon after for a profit. Mr. Soros has long said that he didn't benefit from insider knowledge when he bought the shares in the bank and argued that French rules on insider trading at the time were too vague for him to be found guilty of any crime.
Sure he didn't benefit. He's nothing more than a socialist profiteer, and deserves whatever he gets in this matter.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
