Warren Buffett has remained quiet, despite being the largest Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) shareholder. Why so quiet? I feel he likely doesn't agree with WFC's practices (or doesn't care), but what's he really to do? He can't sell, and buying isn't a sound idea - this isn't a generational buying opportunity for WFC.

Buffett won't be riding to the rescue of anything soon, but there's only a handful of companies with large enough market caps that he can invest in these days. At the same time, Buffett has been taken to task in the past over his ethical decisions (read: a large investment in sugary drink maker Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), his trailer park business, the Sokol-Lubrizol days, etc.)
