For anyone who missed it…
George Soros. Status: Alive.
In an occurrence no news organization wants to encounter, Reuters on Thursday erroneously published a pre-written obituary for the billionaire, in which the 82-year-old was described as “a predatory and hugely successful financier and investor, who argued paradoxically for years against the same sort of free-wheeling capitalism that made him billions.”
The story’s headline would’ve tipped off readers that the news of Soros’s death was premature: “George Soros, enigmatic financier, liberal philanthropist dies at XX,” marking the spot where his age would’ve been inserted. As is customary, Reuters also typed “XX”s in place of the day of Soros’s eventual death.
Thursday, April 18, 2013 was not that day.
Reuters, in acknowledging the obituary was mistakenly published, said a Soros spokesman told the news group that “the New York-based financier is alive and well.” Reuters also said it “regrets the error.”
Of course, the obituary made the rounds across the Internet, with recounts of the error carrying headlines including, “Reuters Killed George Soros” and inspiring tweets like:
If Soros did read the piece, he would’ve seen his obituary say he was known as ‘the man who broke the Bank of England,’ for selling the British pound short in 1992, and that his Soros Fund Management was “widely blamed for helping trigger the Asian financial crisis of 1997,” by selling short the currencies of Thailand and Malaysia.
“An enigma, wrapped in intellect, contradiction and money,” Reuters wrote of Soros.

@TheLimerickKing 6h:
I think @DeadGeorgeSoros is swell
He seems to be tweeting from hell
He’s still very bold
And still bashing gold
Advising all demons to sell

About Ask Marion
I am a babyboomer and empty nester who savors every moment of my past and believes that it is the responsibility of each of us in my generation and Americans in general to make sure that America is as good or even a better place for future generations as it was for us. So far... we haven't done very well!!
Favorite Quotes:
"The first 50 years are to build and acquire; the second 50 are to leave your legacy";
"Do something that scares you every day!";
"The journey in between what you once were and who you are becoming is where the dance of life really takes place".
At age 62 I find myself fighting inoperable uterine Cancer and thanks to the man upstairs and the prayers from so many people including many of my readers from AskMarion and JustOneMorePet... I'm beating it.
After losing our business because of the economy and factors related to the re-election of President Obama in 2012 followed by 16-mos of job hunting, my architect-trained husband is working as a trucker and has only been home approximately 5-days a month since I was diagnosed, which has made everything more difficult and often lonely... plus funds are tight. Our family medical deductible is 12K per year for two of us; thank you ObamaCare.
But thanks to donations from so many of you, we are making ends meet as I go through treatment while taking care of my father-in-law who is suffering from late stage Alzheimer's and my mother-in-law who suffers from RA and onset dementia as well as hearing loss, for which there are no caretaker funds,
as I continue the fight here online to inform and help restore our amazing country.
And finally I need to thank a core group of family, friends, and readers... all at a distance, who check in with me regularly. Plus, I must thank my furkids who have not left my side through this fight. You can see them at JustOneMorePet.
