Author Topic: Mitt Romney stayed at Bain 3 years longer than he stated (Read 3686 times)

Mitt Romney has repeatedly sought to distance himself from some business dealings at Bain Capital by asserting that he left the firm in February 1999, but a review of public records shows that his authority lingered for three more years as Bain repeatedly listed him on government filings as the man in charge. Until 2002, when Romney and Bain Capital finalized a severance agreement, he remained the firm’s “sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president,” according to SEC documents. The description was applied even to the creation of five new Bain partnerships a full three years after Romney has said he relinquished all control.

Another lie from the pathological liar?

he started 5 partnerships during this time. after he said he was gone.
he's a fucking liar - nobody here can deny it.

You can say "but it's better than obama" - and that's cool. But the "youre a fcking liar" issue against obama has just been nullified. They're BOTH liars.

Oh, here is a little bit of reading:

Boston Globe Runs Non-Story on Romney Tenure at Bain Capital
By Jeffrey Meyer | July 12, 2012 | 16:19

One of the recent lies told by the Obama campaign and the liberal media is that companies owned by Bain Capital outsourced thousands of jobs while Mitt Romney was CEO.

A headline in the July 12 Boston Globe blared, “Mitt Romney stayed at Bain 3 years longer than he stated” causing the liberal media and MSNBC to jump on the story. The story hyped SEC filings by Bain Capitol listing Mitt Romney as CEO of Bain for three years after he left his official duties with the organization suggesting that he had a far more active role at Bain far after he claims he left the company.

The article lists an array of Obama talking points inncluding referencing his offshore bank accounts as a way of attacking Romney’s career at Bain and to restart the criticism of the former Massachusetts governor from the left. The Globe claims it is simply raising questions without making direct accusations, but its effect is the same: to tarnish and smear Romney’s Bain record.

It's notable that the Globe was forced to issue an apology on the same day the article was published for failing to give appropriate credit to ultra-liberal Mother Jones magazine Washington bureau chief David Corn. The fact that the Boston Globe would crib a story from the left-wing Mother Jones and run it as a revealing exclusive is the first sign that the story was designed to smear Mitt Romney.

Factcheck.org and the Washington Post have repeatedly discredited the claims that Romney was an active part of Bain Capital from 1999-2002 claiming there is nothing new in the Globe’s story. The Post went so far as to say, "To accept some of the claims [by the Boston Globe], one would have to believe that Romney, with the advice of his lawyers, lied on government documents and committed a federal offense."

As a major metropolitan newspaper, the Globe should hold itself to a higher standard than peddling a discredited story hatched by a left-wing magazine. Sadly the Globe has just emerged as another arm of the Obama reelection message machine.

Romney 'would be guilty of a federal felony' by claiming 1999 departure

Earlier this month, FactCheck.org stated that if Mitt Romney had not left Bain Capital in 1999, he "would be guilty of a federal felony by certifying on federal financial disclosure forms that he left active management of Bain Capital in February 1999."

FactCheck.org made that argument to dismiss complaints by the Obama campaign, but a new Boston Globe report on Mitt Romney's true tenure at Bain Capital -- which reportedly lasted until 2002, three years longer than Romney has stated -- brings FactCheck's statement into sharp relief.

..."In fact, if the Obama campaign were correct, Romney would be guilty of a federal felony by certifying on federal financial disclosure forms that he left active management of Bain Capital in February 1999."

.......................

"Both the FactCheck.org News Desk and the Annenberg Public Policy Center, of which FactCheck.org is a part, could not be reached for comment early Thursday morning.

More to come..."

Bain Capital sends the following statement, following today's Boston Globe article reporting that MItt Romney was CEO there until 2002:

Mitt Romney left Bain Capital in February 1999 to run the Olympics and has had absolutely no involvement with the management or investment activities of the firm or with any of its portfolio companies since the day of his departure. Due to the sudden nature of Mr. Romney's departure, he remained the sole stockholder for a time while formal ownership was being documented and transferred to the group of partners who took over management of the firm in 1999. Accordingly, Mr. Romney was reported in various capacities on SEC filings during this period."

In a statement released Thursday Bain Capital said, "Mitt Romney left Bain Capital in February 1999 to run the Olympics and has had absolutely no involvement with the management or investment activities of the firm or with any of its portfolio companies since the day of his departure."

It added that, "Due to the sudden nature of Mr. Romney's departure, he remained the sole stockholder for a time while formal ownership was being documented and transferred to the group of partners who took over management of the firm in 1999. Accordingly, Mr. Romney was reported in various capacities on SEC filings during this period."

OWNED. Romney claimed he had no active role in managing Bain's funds and that looks to be confirmed. Fucking sheeple like BlackenWhork and 180 the dipshit believe anything the idiot box tells them.

Can't wait to hear the rebuttals from the simpletons who have no grasp of how a PE firm works.
