You&#x27;re probably right (and you&#x27;ll remain right if &quot;Soros&quot; is replaced with the name of many, many people), but I don&#x27;t think you&#x27;re the kind of source the grandparent asks for; I think they wanted evidence that Soros shorted the euro or something similar.<p>Even if he&#x27;s short the euro, it kinda seems that no single famous, connected billionaire can make or break the euro. It&#x27;s, like, a really, really big, erm, thing. He ought to believe his bet to be correct rather than hope that him talking about it will move the market very much. So if he&#x27;s indeed short the euro, I&#x27;d guess you&#x27;re hearing his true opinion (which doesn&#x27;t make him right, it&#x27;s not like he&#x27;s never lost money, it just probably means he&#x27;s honest in this particular instance.)
