    Insurance is a complex business. Each year you take in the premiums, people make claims and you pay out claims. Looks easy, but the payout of claims is often several years into the future, and the claims may also be made in the future. So you need to be able to predict how many claims will actually be made, how successful they will be and the size of each payout. Underestimate the future payouts and your insurance company looks like it is doing brilliantly. Of course only until someone notices that your estimates are wrong. Then it goes bad fast.

    Always have to watch the carpet baggers that will sell their bill of goods to the board. They'll force out key people that built the company, eliminate R&D other than on paper, reduce maintenance below minimums, accept a lower quality of goods and service, add quantity sales incentives to reduce inventory, and layer in short term performance bonuses to pocket as much cash as possible. In about two years the company is faltering, customers are pissed, market share has been lost, no next product was developed to stay viable, and the carpet baggers are moving to their next company. Why just look at the way they turned their last three companies around and how poorly they did without their firm management hand.
    So yes, look at their management. Look where they have been and did they leave wreckage, destroying promising company after company in their wake. Odd thing is that college business classes teach them how to do it and, in fairly unethical "ethics" classes, how not to go to jail while doing it. Basically how to be a toxic corporate leach for fun and profit. A how to "get rich" rather than how to grow a healthy and profitable company. More: How to fake it until you can cash out.

    I worked for a very big successful company that decided to go public, prior to going public they temporarily changed their very successful way of managing the company to soften up the numbers. Suddenly it was a night n day comparison until they eventually had their IPO. Awhile after the stock was issued, they went back to their efficient ways of managing . The term “integrity” was a convenient term for the management and was so important to continue one’s employment there, which it should be. Many times a family man or woman was terminated under the broad brush of “lack of integrity”. Even the biggest “honest” companies in the world will “confuse” the public.

They just did the opposite of padding their numbers to look like they are good investment but in this case they are already a good investment so people will want to buy their stocks not knowing that had the real numbers been use the same price they pay for the stocks will yield higher returns.

      A lady I respect used to work as a teller at Wells Fargo. She started getting nervous about her job when the tellers were directed to run sales pitches at every customer that came through their lines. Her supervisor started giving her verbal warnings about it, and ultimately she found other work. Too bad for them, too. Even in a medium sized town like this one, just about everywhere she goes someone recognizes her from her old job and stops to chat. When businesses get too pushy and stop focusing on good customer service they always lose the people who make their customers feel well taken care of. Then they start losing customers. Of course, as far as I understand, with Wells Fargo, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

    Buffett wants to teach us but feels forced to answer these questions in purposefully vague ways. If he sees something, he should be able to say something without fearing consequences. We have some flaws in our system, which he believes prevent him from exposing fraud.
    Note also that he has more data about fraud investigation than ordinary people because the banks and insurance companies he invests in routinely face thousands of fraudulent claims and loan applications every year. It's a shame he believes he cannot share these lessons.

After Taxpayers (that's; "not Warren Buffet") bailed out Wells Fargo Bank, Buffet used his 40% share in that Bank to start buying that Bank's foreclosed homes as a private citizen with a _different_ corporation. Berkshire Hathaway Real Estate is now, definitely in the green and even a landlord in some cases. Berkshire Hathaway Media Group (since renamed) forgot to report that.

Also, he obviously can’t state them publicly because it would tip off future fraudsters he may have pitching investment ideas to him. Remember, good fraudster watches and studies their target victim so they would be watching these videos too. So I believe Buffet’s main point is that in addition to there being a set of cues to look for, you MUST take time to learn them from experience and once learned, they’re reliable for helping to judge people’s character.
