I think it's still him and his sons holding the reigns.
I do think there's a growing need to develop strategy and doctrine around how to counter non-state actors who are using non-kinetic means to undermine western institutions(basically, what the good guys did to the Soviets/Warsaw Pact in Poland being used against us).
If Soros(or some similar oligarch) was actually funding violent overthrow it would be pretty straight forward to reduce that threat based on the last two decades of experience.
It's the non-kinetic UW part that makes it all a tougher nut to crack.
A small well resourced DOJ/SEC/IRS/OGA task force exclusively targeting oligarchs who interfere with and undermine US sovereignty could disrupt someone like Soros, and others of his ilk.
It would also be a signal to US oligarchs and those with considerable social influence/control to perhaps voluntarily take a position like those in the US military of being politically active, but not using their credibility/position for political folly.
Putin would throw them in jail and/or serve them polonium tea.
I'd think ruthlessly kicking them in their bank accounts and putting them on permanent defence would be a culturally/legally acceptable option.
