I realized Buffet’s “country-cousin” routine was a sham when he arranged the inside deal on Goldman Sachs with the US Treasury and the FED days before GS was bailed out.
Or what about the deal he got on Bank of America stock when the bought a bunch of it... What was the discount he got? And IIRC, he got options to buy quite a bit more at prices well under market.
