He was speaking before an announcement on Sunday afternoon by eurozone finance ministers of the terms of a support package for Greece.

“It is 50-50 whether the eurozone breaks up. The damage that break up would cause is so great, that I think that as people realise it, they will pull back from the brink,” Soros told the Financial Times in an interview. “But we are at the brink now...a solution has to be found in a matter of days.

Satan Soros is manipulating the European markets by his doom-and-gloom statements. He is a pig.

In my opinion, this is the guy to watch right now. I’m sure he only wants Germany to help, so that there is a better chance that all of Europe winds up on faulty ground.

This buttwipe’s real name actually adds up to 666.

Let's take George's shorting seriously and leave our pittance of investment behind.

He is the man. /s

Then he lectures them
Then he “rescues” them

Soros is looking out only for himself. He could give a rat’s ass what happens to others, as long as he gets his money!

I do have to wonder why he hasn't been whacked yet by the intelligence services of one of any number of countries.

Guess they're bought off too.

Since his goal is world govt, the breakup of the EU would be a setback.
