- Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc on Wednesday said a $377 million charge it incurred recently was tied to a solar generation company that U.S. authorities have linked to fraud.

“We now believe that it is more likely than not that the income tax benefits that we recognized are not valid,” and took the charge for “uncertain tax positions” related to its investments, Berkshire said. In a Feb. 8 affidavit related to those proceedings, an FBI agent said the manner in which the Benecia, California-based company appeared to have operated reflected “evidence of a Ponzi-type investment fraud scheme.”

U.S. may review ties with countries deemed anti-Israel: envoyU.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a March speech that anti-Zionism - opposition to Israel's existence as a homeland for the Jewish people - was a form of anti-Semitism, or hostility toward Jews, that was on the rise worldwide and that Washington would 'fight it relentlessly'. Forget this smoke screen. The real story is the Joseph Misfud story. Turns out Misfud is a western intel operative and there is irrefutable evidence for this. The Mueller report omitted this VERY important detail. Misfud was the connection between Papadopoulous and the Kremlin. So the 'Choosen' are the only ones who have the 'Divine' right to discriminate. Stupid and crazy. A divine squizophrenic and delusional culture. And our Presidents have to swear on their Bible.😁
