Yes it's possible. But this is just well organized street gangs. Soros knows better. He'll continue to invest where he can get the most return. At the top and not the bottom. I'd call it trickle down "De"conomics. So perhaps your are right, just not a direct hand to hand transaction. By funding the people in power in these cities, he can influence their laws. This is why defund the police is losing traction. It's not the officer with handcuffs that places you in the patrol car that he cares about. It's the judge sitting behind the bench that has the power to enforce justice.
