Wie heißt der Grieche, der mal fast die Bank of England in die Pleite getrieben...

...und dabei ein Vermögen verdient hat? Ging damals um ziemlich voluminöse Devisengeschäfte.

Mir fallen grad weder Name noch suchmaschinenrelevante Fakten ein.

Danke.

Klingt griechisch genug fuer mich und wohl auch fuer RR.

On Black Wednesday (September 16, 1992), Soros's fund sold short more than $10 billion worth of pounds sterling[citation needed], profiting from the Bank of England's reluctance to either raise its interest rates to levels comparable to those of other European Exchange Rate Mechanism countries or to float its currency.
Finally, the Bank of England withdrew the currency from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, devaluing the pound sterling, and Soros earned an estimated US$ 1.1 billion in the process. He was dubbed "the man who broke the Bank of England." In 1997, the UK Treasury estimated the cost of Black Wednesday at £3.4 billion.
