Trump droht George Soros mit RICO-Klagen – Finanzierung bezahlter Proteste soll juristisch verfolgt werden

Der ehemalige US-Präsident kündigt juristische Offensive gegen milliardenschweren Finanzier an – Vorwurf der systematischen Protestfinanzierung.

RICO als Waffe: Trump setzt auf umstrittenes Gesetz aus Mobster-Jagd

Das RICO-Gesetz, ursprünglich zur Bekämpfung organisierter Kriminalität konzipiert, findet nun Anwendung im politischen Raum – eine strategische Eskalation, die Juristen in Alarmbereitschaft versetzt.

Finanzströme unter der Lupe: Soros' Netzwerk im Fokus

Die Anschuldigungen zielen auf vermeintliche Geldflüsse für Demonstrationen – ein Vorwurf, der in Zeiten digitaler Zahlungsströme und Crypto-Spenden neue forensische Herausforderungen schafft. Während traditionelle Banken noch Compliance-Formulare bearbeiten, hätten Blockchain-Transaktionen längst irreversible Fakten geschaffen.

Politische Erdbeben: Justiz als Schlachtfeld der Narrative

Die Androhung von RICO-Klagen markiert eine neue Stufe der Polarisierung – wo früher politische Debatten in Talkshows ausgetragen wurden, werden heute Anwaltskanzleien zu den eigentlichen Schlachtfeldern. Ein teures Unterfangen, das selbst für Milliardäre schmerzhafte Portfolio-Allokationen erfordern könnte.

Trump links political funding to financial chaos, points to Soros bets

Soros has long been linked to massive financial movements. He profited from one of the biggest currency trades in history. Leading up to Black Wednesday in September 1992, Soros’s fund had sold short over $10 billion in British pounds, believing the UK’s entry into the European Exchange Rate Mechanism was flawed.

The British government refused to raise interest rates or float the currency. The pound collapsed. The UK was forced to withdraw. Soros’s profit: over $1 billion. The UK Treasury lost £3.4 billion.

Soros was believed to have traded billions of Finnish markkas in 1996, expecting the currency to drop. Finnish authorities said they saw no evidence of any conspiracy.

In 1997, during the Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad accused Soros of deliberately punishing ASEAN countries for accepting Myanmar.

Mahathir referenced Soros’s Jewish background during the accusations, calling him “a Jew who triggered the currency plunge.” In 2006, Mahathir changed course after meeting Soros and accepted that he had not been responsible.

Soros later wrote in his book The Crisis of Global Capitalism that his fund had shorted the Thai baht and Malaysian ringgit in early 1997, with contracts ranging from six months to a year. He said they later bought those currencies to lock in gains, but moved too early, fearing Malaysia WOULD impose capital controls, which eventually happened.

Soros also tried shorting the Hong Kong dollar during that time using similar strategies. But China backed the peg, and Hong Kong’s currency stayed stable. Soros’s fund lost most of the money bet against the HKD.

French court found Soros guilty of insider trading after 14-year case

In 1988, Soros was contacted by Georges Pébereau, a French financier who tried to organize a takeover of Société Générale and other companies under France’s privatization program.

Soros didn’t join the group but bought shares in Société Générale, Suez, Paribas, and Compagnie Générale d’Électricité.

French regulators launched an investigation in 1989, but found no evidence of insider trading. The case was reopened years later.

On June 14, 2006, the French Supreme Court ruled Soros guilty and fined him €940,000. Soros denied any wrongdoing, claiming the information he had was public and that he had already planned to buy the shares before learning of the takeover.

He appealed the conviction to the European Court of Human Rights in 2006, arguing the 14-year delay violated his right to a fair trial under Article 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

In October 2011, the court rejected his appeal in a 4–3 decision, saying Soros should’ve known the risks of trading with non-public information about a takeover.
