Sleep well future billionaire

Is Warren Buffett as ethical as he and his public relations team really says?

Warren Buffett has successfully convinced and by-passed numerous potential scandals in his career such as connections with AIG insurance, his involvement with Soloman Brothers and more recently with his shareholding with Moody's and their bond rating problems.

Recently he made a timely and successful investment in Goldman Sachs.

Will Warren Buffett, once again, maintain his lily-white image during his shareholder meeting in connection all that is Goldman Sachs??? Or, is the Warren Buffett charm offensive running out of steam???
