Mitt Romney implicated in perjury and stock fraud, made millions in process (This is their scandal?)
Current TV ^ | October 24, 2012

Mitt Romney has been implicated in a complex case involving perjury, stock manipulation, and possibly consumer fraud.

Mitt Romney lied in the divorce proceedings of his wealthy friend, Tom Stemberg, founder of Staples, according to a story by radaronline.com. At least that is what Stemberg's former wife, Maureen, says. She is a MS patient who says her husband was so vindictive he even cut off her health insurance. Unfortunately the records for this case have been sealed, and participants are unable to discuss them. Other forces are in motion to lift the gag order.

It is a matter of public record that Mitt Romney went on the stand claiming that Staples as a business was "overvalued." He also specifically said:

I didn't place a great deal of credibility in the forecast of the company's future.

Because of Romney's testimony the court valued the corporation at a paltry percentage of its actual worth, and Maureen Stemberg was granted a tiny settlement.

Meanwhile, weeks after the divorce was finalized, Mitt Romney and his buddy Tom Stemberg sold their shares of Staples to Goldman Sachs and made millions in the process.

This is a case in a long line of cases that show a side of Mitt Romney's business ethics that he does not want the American people to know about.

"Maureen Stemberg was granted a tiny settlement."

FIVE MILLION DOLLARS and a luxury apartment are a tiny settlement? Hahahahaha!

A bogus claim from a 25 year old case. This woman tried the same stunt when Mitt ran 4 years ago.

I was just thinking that maybe we witnessed a Mexican standoff. Trump backed them down with Obama divorce papers with Mooch stating that she couldn't live with "BAthhouse BArry" anymore. The exchange was that Aldrich(sp) would back down and put out a ridiculous cover story and he would, too.

Now, will Trump release the works?

How does one (Romney, in this case) “make millions in the process” of giving a deposition in the divorce of two other people? The article is journalistic malpractice. Or would have been considered such back in the day of journalism....

I got a feeling, if this lady gets this unsealed, she is a kook that only wants to drag Romney through the mud.

This is a joke. Everyone knows that the stock value would be assessed by a disinterested witness.

If Trump really had bathhouse Barry documentation then he wouldn’t have backed down for anything. What could there possibly be on Mitt that would cause Trump to back down if he had proof of Obama’s gay life?

Romney’s lawyer says he sees no reason to keep it sealed.

This story got more exposure to human eyes on last night’s FR thread than on Al’s barely breathing channel.
