With Buffett's original purchase of Berkshire Hathaway Corp in 1965 he went to war when thought the controlling seller was trying to screw him out of a trivial amount of money. He doesn't like being nickeled & dimed.
Buffett has also said that 1965 purchase was one of his biggest mistakes, and an immense windfall for the old minority shareholders from the dying textile mill days. The mill assets turned out to be nearly worthless when Buffett sold them off.
