1. Does noble philanthropist warren buffett know about this?
being as he's the biggest shareholder in the company.

8.6% through berkshire & more through e.g. sun trust bank, as of 2008.

i'm sure he doesn't support murder for profit, does he?

i'm sure, as the biggest shareholder, he has some input into company policy, doesn't he?
