DavidSokol is scheduled to speak at the 8th Annual Value Investor Conference held every year by the University of Nebraska prior to the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting.
For example, while DavidSokol was running around in 2010 making deals for himself and his employer with Lubrizol, the Berkshire Hathaway Audit Committee held only five formal meetings.
Buffett recently faced intense scrutiny after news broke that he knew DavidSokol, Berkshire Hathaway executive and his possible successor, bought shares in a company before the deal was announced.
Editor's note: One week before DavidSokol left Berkshire Hathaway, longtime money manager and Forbes columnist Martin Sosnoff filed this column, arguing why Berkshire doesn't need a reincarnation of Buffett as his successor.
Another well-known resident and campaign contributor is David L. Sokol, who chaired several subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway before resigning last year after controversial stock purchases.
