George Soros Fund Nears $400M deal to Buy Vice Media Out of Bankruptcy: Report
New York Post ^ | May 8, 2023 | Alexandra Steigrad

Bankruptcy-bound Vice Media will reportedly be bought out of Chapter 11 by investors who include billionaire George Soros for about $400 million — after the Brooklyn-based company was once valued at nearly $6 billion.

The cash-strapped media company has been prepping for the bankruptcy filing after failing to find a buyer over the past year, The Post reported last week.

The company’s post-bankruptcy arrangement will be to sell itself to the Soros Fund Management — founded by the 92-year-old left-wing activist — and Fortress Investment Group in a deal that would value the once-high-flying Vice at just $400 million, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

I’d like to see that nazi collaborator Gyorgy Schwartz go bankrupt and his head on a pike in the public square!

It still won’t have any readers / viewers and only a few advertisers - that won’t change

But they can keep the propaganda flowing, and keep alive the MSM circle-jerk of self-referenced news reporting.

Maybe someone he bailed out 20 years ago would return the favor.

As much as I’d like to see his head on a pike in the public square, it is a bit out of fashion. I’d prefer a public hanging with hymn singing before the trap door is sprung.

Every time I see a picture of this guy I cringe. When is the devil going to cash in on his end of the contract with this guy?

If we had a real CIA, we wouldn’t have a George Soros.

They're both on the same wavelength as George, and the youngest one might even be worse.

His son is already taking the reins. Evil will prevail for quite some time.

I have never heard of this Vice Media. Is this another name for the porn industry?
