Muhammad Yunus, Bangladesh’s interim leader and Nobel Prize winner, met with Alex Soros, son of philanthropist George Soros, this week. This meeting highlights the long-standing relationship between the two families, forged through a significant financial partnership that helped advance Yunus’ vision for microfinance and social business in Bangladesh.
US Congressman Chip Roy has expressed concerns over billionaire George Soros’s alleged attempt to accelerate the acquisition of Audacy, America’s second-largest radio company. Soros has become the largest shareholder in Audacy after acquiring $400 million of its debt during its bankruptcy proceedings. Congressman Roy claims that Soros’s group is requesting the FCC to waive the usual regulatory process and grant special warrants in the meantime. The deal could potentially grant Soros part-ownership of broadcasters in 45 US states, prompting concerns about undue foreign influence on American media.
