Has this guy ever heard of second passports?

Why on earth stay in Canada waiting to be extradited?....the stupidity...

Ever heard of house arrest? He was kept under detention at his own expense at his home. He needed permission to leave the house. Even if he had made it out, where did you expect him to go? He couldn't cross the US border, and he couldn't get on a plane since a travel ban was in effect. He wasn't waiting to be extradited as he fought it. The Indian government wasn't about to let a man that supported some of India's extreme leftist groups back into the country so easily, even he did manage to flee to India.

The selfstyled Marxist banker will now get a chance to mingle with the proletariat. Perhaps he can organize a May Day celebration for the prisoners and teach them all about Marxist banking practices.

Why doesn't the Thai government go after George Soros and Julian Robertson for helping to crush the Baht?

Oh please, are you going to join up with Mahadir and claim the 1997 Asian money crisis was the fault of a couple of businessmen and had nothing to do with the underhanded Asian financial practices?

Not at all.

Unfortunately the 1997 crisis was the result of Tax Cheat Timmy Giethner who improperly diagnosed the Asian crisis and the IMF instituted the wrong policy, the result is no country in Asia will even look at the IMF again. The failure of the IMF put China in position to cause an incredible economic imbalance in the world.

Soros and Robertson merely used their contacts and money to crush the Ringgit and the Baht, leaving millions of poor people to suffer. And Soros, at the least, laughed about it.

Absolute nonsense. Let me guess: You read about this on a conspiracy type internet site.

oh the poor dear ....how come all these high flyers end up in wheelchairs ?

Old age combined with having lived the highlife for so long. It's the same reason why so many expats in Pattaya and Phuket look 10 years older than they are.
