(In 1997, the American head of a local office of Soros's Open Society Institute was exposed to the United States Embassy.)Īround that time, due to currency manipulations that Impacted economies around the world, Soros started being critiqued on both the left (Paul Krugman) and the right (East European strongmen). The Russian regime and neighboring strongmen were so outraged at its democratic opponents that it expelled some of the groups in the region. And that's what first got him in trouble. In actuality, Soros is a hedge fund billionaire who was born in Hungary (as a Jewish boy, he barely escaped the Holocaust ) and has committed the cause of non-violent democratic movements. (Heck, his name even echoes the mnemonic effect of the term for the creator of the One Ring.) If you are not an expert in currency manipulation, the economic theory of dynamic disequilibrium, or East European pro-democracy movements, you may be forgiven for thinking that Soros is the devil, Beelzebub, a hidden all-powerful Nazi, the Prince of Darkness, or Sauron.
