      From the Wiki, yeah:

      “Soros is known as “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England” as a result of his short sale of US$10 billion worth of pounds sterling, which made him a profit of $1 billion, during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis.”

      But who do you hate more? Billionaires or bankers? ;)
