No, Your example is wrong factually. It is not George Soros, but his cofounder in original Quantum Fund, Jim Rogers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Rogers. We need to do fact checking before we write down anything.
George Soros is alive and kicking living in Upper East Side, Manhattan; Bedford, Westchester county; and East Hampton, Suffolk county. If you are lucky you can bump into him very often in Bloomberg Headquarter. And George Soros is also a proponent for Buffett Rules.
