Warren Buffett talks to CNBC about Rajat Gupta, David Sokol and the economy

By Chris Clair

Warren Buffett, chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, weighs in on his cooperation with the government on questions pertaining to David Sokol, former NetJets chairman, and adds his outlook on the economy. First, though, Andrew Ross Sorkin asked Buffett about Rajat Gupta and what Buffett knew/thought about Gupta’s arrest on charges he provided Raj Rajaratnam with inside information about Buffett’s investment in Goldman Sachs.

“The system has a lot of temptations in it,” Buffett said. “And people succumb to temptations and the only way to reduce that kind of activity is you look very hard to find and then you do something about it when you do find it.”
