Back in August, a woman who George Soros had either conducted “a serious meaningful relationship” that lasted five years or had had an “on-again, off-again and non-exclusive intimate relationship,” depending on who you ask, sued the billionaire. Adriana Ferreyr was upset about a whole bunch of stuff, including that fact that he apparently used to make her sit at the kids’ table. The basis of her lawsuit, however, focused on the promise Soros allegedly made to buy her a “dream home” at 30 East 85th Street before “heartlessly” dumping her a few days after the contract was signed. Ferreyr was pretty pissed about the situation but, as these things go, the duo “briefly reconciled for a romantic night together” during which Jorge supposedly had the Soroses to “whisper in her ear” that he’d given the keys to her dream house to another one of his gal-pals.  Adriana also claimed that after she aired her displeasure with Soros’ decision to give away her apartment, he slapped her across the face and ”proceeded to put his hands around her neck in an attempt to choke her…then allegedly tempted to strike her with a glass lamp narrowly missing though cutting her foot.” According to Soros’s lawyer, this is all fiction dreamed up by someone looking for a free ride.

Blasting Ferreyr’s claim in her court filing that Soros was obligated to buy her an apartment as “patently preposterous,” the papers state that she “may have been disappointed that Soros moved onto other women, ending her hopes of living in an extravagant ‘dream apartment’ for free.” [The assault] claim is blasted by Soros as “odious and utterly baseless.” His lawyers argue the police report shows that the lamp “fell on [Ferreyr’s] right foot,” adding it makes no mention of choking and she told police, “She was not fearful of Soros.” But Ferreyr’s lawyer, Robert Hantman, told us, “These are chauvinistic and simplistic statements which are devoid of any reality.”

While we have no intimate knowledge of the situation vis-à-vis who’s telling the truth and who’s telling lies here, as a thought experiment for the group, perhaps we can explore the question of why Georgie is still carrying on with this whole thing? Obviously when he decided to put the “on-again, off-again non-exclusive relationship” on ice, he could have just let Ferreyr keep the apartment, as it amounted to less than pocket change for him; he also could have, by this point, chosen to settle, rather than letting it all play out publicly. Is the refusal to do so in either case a conscious decision by Soros to send a message to any would-be on-again, off-again non-exclusive girlfriends that apartments don’t grow on trees? And that when their time together is over, they shan’t expect any parting gifts, nor should they expect him to roll over and take it when said assets are demanded of him, like he’s the god damn apartment fairy? And that he hears, and this is a direct quote, “Hoboken is lovely this time of year”?

    Well, she is a kid in old man Soro's eyes. The difference is he fucks the kid. I guess it's only fair in his eyes that she sit at the kids table too. Is there a law against that?

    Shouldn't Soros' ultra-Progressive, left-wing ideals urge him to give all free-loading, non-working individuals a free apartment they can't afford which will ultimately be forclosed upon?

    The court filing actually says he moved "onto" other women? A bit graphic, but, when in Rome…

    whispering in a girl's ear that you''ve given the keys to her dream house to another one of your gal-pals is the NKI.

    FWIW, this chick was definitely on the Soros payroll. I recognize her blue bag in one of the photos as a $10K Hermes bag as well as a $5K Judith Lieber jeweled bag – so she was definitely getting money/gifts.
    Me thinks this chick scored well with George over the years, but wanted Real Estate assets too.

    If Soros believes his own story, then he woldun’t have helped fund (a rumor) the many recent gold expeditions of Odyssey Sea Explorations. Neither would have John Edwards, who owns shares. There’s a reason Odyssey has been illegally plundering the last of the big wrecks, against the wishes of several governments. They want to be holding when gold is used to back the next world reserve currency. Rumor is that the currency will be backed by about 50% gold.However, I do believe that gold will drop significantly, to shake out the weak hands. Forbes magazine last week announced gold will be going under $500/oz. soon. Since the media is well-coordinated on this message, when it happens the public will be reaffirmed in their trust in the mainstream media. This is the tell, so to speak (a poker term). The Rothschilds and their ilk are trying to kill too many birds with one stone, and in doing so, they give away their own agenda.In any case, people will be very reluctant to purchase gold after it falls so low. Your best solution is to hedge against these gold and silver losses, and then remove your hedge when the prices are at their lowest levels, and are moving back up.A safe hedge is to purchase the following ETFs and ETNs UUP (US dollar) and also DB Gold Double Short ETN (DZZ) and DB Gold Short ETN (DGZ).Gold luck!
