Buffett Feels Hedge Fund Managers’ Chill After Warmth in Omaha

Warren Buffett had plenty of admirers Saturday at the annual meeting of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in Omaha, Nebraska. Some hedge-fund managers in Las Vegas this week seem more inclined to throw stones at the investing legend.

Jim Chanos followed up Thursday on comments made a day before by Daniel Loeb, citing inconsistencies in the billionaire’s words and actions. Buffett was on the board of Coca-Cola Co. in the late 1990s when the soft-drink maker was playing “egregious accounting games” with its bottler, said Chanos, who was betting on the stock to decline. Buffett has long complained publicly about accounting at corporations.
