I know of nothing to suggest that Fraga himself is corrupt, and knowing him slightly do not believe that he is. I would be delighted to hear that he did not even tell Soros about the pending appointment, so that Quantum had no inside information.

I think the lesson of this incident is simply how dangerous, financially and ethically, it is for governments to be drawing for expertise on the very same organizations that speculate in their debts.
