“NEW YORK (Reuters) – Former Berkshire Hathaway executive David Sokol deliberately misled Warren Buffett when pitching an investment to him, the company’s board concluded in a scathing report that may add fuel to a pending SEC probe of Buffett’s one-time heir apparent.
The board said it may sue Sokol to recover the $3 million of trading profit he made when Berkshire bought chemicals company Lubrizol Corp and could seek damages from him for harm to the company’s reputation. The company will cooperate with any government probe in the matter as well.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is probing Sokol, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.”
