Transmeta backer George Soros convicted of insider deal

Soros' conviction dates back to a buy of shares in Societe Generale he made 14 years ago.

Mr Soros has fingers in many pies, including the Transmeta Corporation in the shape of the Soros Funds.

In an open letter to Soros earlier this year, one individual, Rick Hohensee, urged him to remove those funds from Transmeta, accusing the Open Source Unix world of preventing effective openness.
