Soros’ Southampton, NY estate latest to fall victim to fake 911 ‘swatting’ call

Officers then rushed to the scene, but the report turned out to be false, the newspaper reported, citing Southampton Village Detective Sergeant Herman Lamison.

Southampton Village Police, including Ramison, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's inquiries about the matter.

One of the Soros-funded groups, the Open Society Policy Center, is an advocacy nonprofit within the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations network that will conduct research and “key policy issues” in 2022. Funded $15.18 million to Future Forward USA Action for “Content Tests''.

Records show the nonprofit is tied to a major foreign super PAC for President Biden's 2024 election that evaluates key policy issues.

Since the 2020 election, Future Forward USA Action, which does not disclose its donors, has directed $77 million to Future Forward PAC, according to a review of Federal Election Commission records. During this time, the PAC has raised approximately $181 million. This means more than 40% of Biden PAC's money comes from affiliated underground finance nonprofits.

Soros is the latest high-level figure to come under fire in the past few weeks.
