Fascinating how independent and mainstream media alike suffer under misconceptions put forth by and about the still enigmatic George Soros. A true chameleon, Soros has switched up his story over the decades since he first emerged from the shadows as the man who broke the Bank of England in 1992. For some of us in the media, Soros had already made international news back in 1989 but he wasn't called a currency arbitrager. This earlier bout with recognition came from his connection to the coup in Romania that ousted and publicly executed President Nikolae Ceausescu. He was identified as a Romanian arms dealer, which information was utilized in an analysis of that country's upheaval that appeared in my column, the Round File. (Obviously, I had no delusions about where my opinion pieces ended up. Don't worry, you won't find it, having appeared in actual print before the internet took over.)
