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.

this article says:” She is a MS patient”. Another article said he didn’t pay for her health insurance even though she had “cancer of the cervix and thyroid”. A third article mentioned an “immune” problem. A 4th article said she had possible lupus.

Wish she would make up her mind.

my take? She has weird symptoms, that one doc suggested might be MS, but the MRI didn’t show anything. She had a thyroid nodule, probably very low grade cancer or benign. She had a positive pap smear. Maybe she had cyro therapy in her doc’s office. And her lupus test was 1:40, when to diagnose lupus you need a 1:160 or higher.

Looks like it was supposed to be. Team Romney doesn’t seem worried about it. They told the judge yesterday that they’re fine with lifting the gag order.

One of these days old Glorywhore is going to step into some deep dung with some body who doesn’t have any thing to lose and they will hammer her ( physically I hope).

Absolutely. Even then you can't get two stock brokers to agree on the value of any stock. Just watch the Sat. morning shows.

At the time this happened, Mitt determined the value was less and probably was, Stemberg was puffing the price to effect a sale, he envisioned (ego) that his company had worth when it didn't, not under his management.

Mitt then turned the company into a profitable company, which could not have been forseen at the time of the divorce. Only a dream & hope for his investment at that time. Buy low, sell high is everyone's dream, just don't always turn out that way.

Nothing in this that will harm Mitt and don't look like he is afraid. Greedy EX and shark.

Then again, when to idiot liberals ever pass Math 101?

Well, on Leno, a few hours ago, Obama said that when his daughter got past 7th grade, the math homework was too heavy for him (paraphrasal)

I agree about Trump but I think the timing is off and too late. Too many people have already voted. Otherwise, it was a brilliant idea.

Funny part about his offer is, What is obama’s favorite charity?

add another diagnosis to her list: The latest one is that she sold the stocks under the stress of having raging hormones.
