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.

Confidential To Any Future “On-Again, Off-Again, Non-Exclusive” Girlfriends Of George Soros: Don’t Make Yourself At Home
By Bess Levin
I’m not saying extortion is the easiest thing to pull off but you’d think, what with the industry’s skittishness about insider trading these days, that if you went to any given fund and threatened to expose them for trading on material non-public info unless they did exactly as they were told, i.e. shoved a bunch of unmarked hundos in a few trash bags and sent them your way, you could probably make out pretty well, no muss no fuss. Bonus points if you could say you were like a priest or rabbi or some other type of “spiritual adviser.” That’s what Rabbi Milton Balkany thought anyway, and it would’ve turned out great had his target, an unnamed Connecticut hedge fund not felt the need to get the authorities involved, according to a complaint filed yesterday, effectively ruining everything.
In a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors said that Mr. Balkany, 63, had recently been serving as a “spiritual adviser” to a federal inmate who told him that a Connecticut hedge fund had used inside information to profit from a number of stock trades.
The hedge fund was not named in the complaint, but prosecutors said that Mr. Balkany went to lawyers for the fund and told them that unless they handed over $4 million — $2 million of which would go to Bais Yaakov — he would instruct the inmate to tell the authorities about the insider trades.
Earlier this morning, a report came out that Goldman Sachs, after promising to pay the vet bills and find homes for five kittens discovered on the site of their new headquarters this past August, had neither paid the bills nor found houses for those cats. Now, like magic, Goldman has put out a statement* that the vet has been paid off, and the cats adopted. And that got us thinking– for a while now Goldman has been uncharacteristically trying to ingratiate itself to the public, and after this weekend’s latest attempt kind of backfired, they’re getting desperate. The old Goldman wouldn’t have thought twice about being accused of leaving those pussies out the cold but the new Goldman, sensitive to the hate, make it its first priority to squash any indication that they are anything but saintly. They want to keep us happy and they seem to be going to great lengths to make that happen. Basically we’ve got them right where we want them and I’d like to see what else we can get out of them.
