It is unclear what, if any, involvement Ms. Sandberg had in that ultimate response to Mr. Soros. "We had not heard such criticism from him before and wanted to determine if he had any financial motivation," Mr. Schrage said of Mr. Soros. But the revelations are likely to escalate pressure on Ms. Sandberg, an embattled Silicon Valley star and feminist author.
