Not the actual Warren Buffet, but someone like him. Warren Buffet is powerful, but not omnipotent. He has acess to all kinds of information, but he's not omniscient. He seems like an OK guy, but it's not at all clear how benevolent he actually is.

And...if you get his attention and beg for his help, he might or might not decide to try. And if he tries, he might or might not succeed.

(Disclaimer: I'm agnostic about the real Warren Buffet.)
