An Ambulance to Chase

Among American conservatives (and Hungarians), a generally held belief is that international financier and backer of liberal causes George Soros is the living person who most resembles a Bond villain. Which makes the following news item roughly as fascinating to conservatives as catnip to your basic moggy or truffles to a chef.

Lucianne.com links to a post at Gateway Pundit by Jim Holt who writes:

Documents from the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2011 show Soros Fund Management LLC invested heavily into WUXI Pharmatech Caymen, Inc.

WuXi AppTec, as it is now called, has a facility in Wuhan, China. The company provides validated research including in vitro (HTS, SAR screening support) and in vivo disease models in cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic and infectious diseases.

In 2010, before Soros invested in the company WuXi Pharmatexh announced plans to build a $100 million R&D center in Wuhan, China.

In the specific case of WuXi AppTec, it is almost certain that their work was supervised by the Chinese Intelligence services because of the company’s tight business connections to the US.

Holt reproduces what are alleged to be photocopies of the relevant SEC documents as well as WuXi advertising copy (in English) plugging the services they offer. I'm not sure what this means exactly, maybe nothing except a financier making money.

It appears Soros financed something that could possibly prove to be (a) genocidally unsafe, (b) genocidally nefarious or (c) both. Imagine the potential for recovery of civil damages.
