Impending Financial Armageddon? Warren Buffett Received Rare Negative Press on his Illegal Activities but was Never Charged or Investigated
Warren Buffett is one of the wealthiest people in the world, and considered an American icon in the investment world. It is quite rare to see anything negative published about him in the Corporate Media, so when a November, 2023 report published by ProPublica alleged to have obtained IRS documents showing that Buffett had violated his own ethical standards and had personally invested in the same stocks that his Berkshire Hathaway financial investment firm was investing in, this was huge news. Not only did this violate Berkshire's own ethical standards, it was also illegal. Warren Buffett's closest partner at Berkshire Hathaway, Charlie Munger, was quoted on November 16th, just shortly after the ProPublica story broke, as saying: "I don’t think there’s the slightest chance that Warren Buffett is doing something that is deeply evil to make money for himself." 12 days later on November 28th, the 99-year-old Munger was reported to have died “peacefully” with no cause of death given. And that was it. The ProPublica investigative report on Buffett's illegal activities only lasted through one news cycle, and as far as I could research, there was never any investigation opened by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) or anyone else. The one story in 2023 that did produce many articles throughout the year in the Corporate Media was the U.S. Virgin Islands' case against JP Morgan Chase, the largest bank in the world, and their financing of the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking network. While the case was settled by the end of the year without any of the alleged child traffickers facing any criminal charges, a huge list of famous billionaires and politicians were subpoenaed during the case, from Elon Musk to former CIA director William Burns. Warren Buffett was not one of those subpoenaed in connection to the lawsuit, and the only connection to Jeffrey Epstein by Buffett claimed was through his association with Bill Gates, which got one Berkshire Hathaway stockholder arrested and escorted out of one of their shareholders' meetings. But the Oracle of Omaha, a popular title used for Warren Buffett, has been linked to a major child sex trafficking operation that happened right in his own backyard, the Franklin Federal Credit Union scandal related to child sex trafficking that allegedly was happening in Boys Town, Nebraska, reportedly the richest square mile in the world with a total net asset of over a billion dollars.
