George Soros didn't do anything wrong on Black Wednesday. Rather he did the world a service by helping to destroy an obsolete and unsustainable financial system that was actually harming the world's economy. If Soros hadn't done it then someone else would have done the same thing.

That's a terrible moral defence.

Morality has nothing to do with it in this particular case. When something is unsustainable it will eventually stop one way or another.
