Flaherty had been speaking out against Warren Buffett's association with convicted felon Jeffrey Epstein and support for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, arguing that Berkshire Hathaway would be less identified with Buffett's personal political activities if it had an independent chair. Flaherty's microphone was cut and he was removed from the meeting after exceeding his allotted three minutes. </p><p>Flaherty was charged after refusing to leave until he had finished his statement, not realizing his microphone had been switched off. The National Legal and Policy Center is the primary advocate for a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder proposal calling for an independent Chair and CEO, with similar proposals being considered at other companies this year. Flaherty has been a shareholder activism speaker at numerous company meetings in the past, including major companies such as Coca-Cola, Facebook, and Walmart.</p>
