Like Trump's last Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, Scott Besant is a longtime Wall Street investor. He started his career at Soros Fund Management, the investment firm founded by the billionaire George Soros. Soros, by the way, has been a big supporter of liberal causes and a big target of the right wing.

Back in the 90s, Besant worked with Soros' team to short the British pound, a move that led to a billion-dollar windfall. Later, Besant co-founded his own investment company called Key Square Capital Management.
