Well there were no surprises yesterday (see post here) – the press tells that Greenberg will be silent; Buffett on the other hand talked, but said little. (NYTimes, Wall Street Jrl) And if they are asking Buffett about a telephone call from Nov. 2000, then one can certainly imagine why Greenberg chose to take the 5th. (some of us with a lot less on our plates in comparison to these men, can’t remember what they ate for dinner 3 weeks ago, nonetheless a telephone conversation over 4 years ago.) So where is Spitzer going, who are the targets, who are the witnesses, and what does Spitzer hope to achieve with this investigation? Stay tuned . . .
