#1 $18,000 for $2.5 million? That's a factor of 139. Good investment on their part.

#3 Good investment on their part.

Not really. Consider the trillions China got in return for a few millions to Bill and Al.

#4 If you are following the Glenn Beck story of Soros, Obama, Center for American Progress, White House policy recommendations, Soros Petro-Bras investment of $1 billion, US "loan" of $2billion for deep water exploration (at more than twice the depth of the gulf rig), Petro-Bras value growth, BP disaster, Center for American Progress recommendation for 6 month moratorium on deep water drilling for environmental reasons, Petro-Bras plans for bidding to move the rigs from Gulf of Mexico to Brazil for the deep water wells anticipated..... you see corruption on a scale that echoes the early 20th centruy robber barons...

#5 Corruption is like murder though NoMoreBS.

As Stalin said, "One death is a tragedy, one million deaths is a statistic".

If I bribe a public official to get a contract worth a pittance, I'd get a lengthy prison sentence, when Soros does it to make Billions, its just "politics".
