>> Didn't Rockefeller and Bronfman also give to charities having done many unethical and illicit things in business?.....seems like people will look beyond shady dealing if they are philanthropic. I don't know about what either of them might have done. I know Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger. But being a "Robin Hood" didn't stop Bonnie & Clyde from being shot dead. Nor should it, and neither should it in Soros' case. Insider trading is an insidious, horrible crime and people ought not to be able to buy their ways back to good grace with their ill-gotten gains. But this is the nature of liberalism. The end justifies the means, regardless of who is damaged in the process. Liberals cannot tell right from wrong. That's the way it is. While liberals are trying to find ways around laws they don't like, conservatives see right and wrong as black and white with a huge gulf in between.
