The Soros Conundrum

How does George Soros feel about France? On the one hand, he loves the country's anti-Americanism; on the other hand, France just upheld its conviction of Soros for insider trading. From Bloomberg (hat tip to Daly Thoughts for the link):

Billionaire investor George Soros was found guilty of insider trading by a French appeals court, upholding a 2002 conviction in a case that he's been fighting for 16 years.

Maybe when people talk about corporate scandal figureheads, like Ken Lay, Bernard Ebbers or Dennis Kozlowski, they should add one more name.
