An idea I have never vocalized

Anyone with more than a few hundred million could easily set themselves up as a supervillain.

Well, a villian at least - a supervillian requires a certain panache..

Considering some of the shenanigans he pulled with currency trading, I'm amazed he hasn't been found with an extra hole in his head from some government hitter for crashing their shaky economy - I know that the Malaysians still blame him for the east Asian currency crisis.

When Soros dies, be prepared for a massive world economic panic.

He's got at least a half dozen global economic deadman traps out there.

Then there's the political revelations that will happen.

And of course, there's the insane security he has (I know people who have been involved in protecting him at various times... there are heads of state of non-third world countries with worse protection).

So, not just if someone whacks him, but if/when he kicks the bucket of natural causes? Apres moi le deluge, so to speak?

if/when he kicks the bucket

Won't happen. Think of the council chamber scene in Milennium...

That does raise the question - what was Osama Bin Laden's goal?

Purportedly, he had ~1.3? billion.

That's plenty of resources, I would think, to be able to wreck the US if you really wanted. (Not economically, but w. chemical weapon attacks, etc.)

Now, had the attack on the WTC gotten everyone who was normally there, that would have been an even more significant economic blow (lots of high producers would have been killed.)

But crashing a plane into the Pentagon doesn't really make sense.

9/11 wasn't strategy, it was symbology.

Easy connection

Pharma Industry: Revenue well over $100 billion per year
Shooting & Hunting sports industry: Revenue about $6 billion per year

The Pharma industry spends about $10 billion per year on lobbying and political advertising, more than the revenue generated by the shooting & hunting sports industry.

As they say: follow the money.

It's a long list. Search for yourselves.

Why do you think Obama-care passed so easily?

Says that video is private.

It wasn't at the time I linked it.

Here's another version

Don't worry, HIPPA confidentiality laws will keep this out of the courts. Nothing will ever be proven.

So the follow-on question is which lobbies supported / crafted HIPAA? If you've got massive accountability issues with your products causing a litany of issues for users, it would make sense that you'd support laws to protect those users' privacy, if only to mask your involvement in any wrongdoing on their part due to use of your product...
