There have been lots of articles posted. A good starting point is here:

Here are some quotes I scanned from a couple linked articles there...
Bain Capital had a business model that was intended to essentially transfer wealth from its holdings to itself, said current Ampad chief executive Don Meltzer, who was not involved with the business in 1995. ... [They did this] instead of building the wealth of the company that they owned and extracting gains through selling the company.
Contrary to the selling of Romney as a “turnaround artist,” many of Bain’s actions were not intended to right their properties over the long term. For instance, after acquiring medical equipment maker Dade Behring, Bain slashed its research and development budget...
The same month that Dade converted the pension, it used the projections of that very savings as part of the basis to borrow $421 million, which it then turned around and used to buy shares from its owners... Bain and Goldman had only put $85 million down to buy the company, yet in June 1999 they received $365 million from the dividend, 4.3 times their money.
Dade borrowed so much to make this payment that its debt more than doubled to $871 million (68 percent of sales.) Standard & Poors lowered Dades credit rating from the BB to B category...
The strategy of sharply increasing Dades debt alarmed several executives. Mr. Garrett, the former chief executive of Dade who stood to gain from the transaction, said he had argued unsuccessfully against it.
Creditors, unsettled by deteriorating finances and high debts, began to pounce. More layoffs followed. And in August of 2002, Dade filed for bankruptcy protection.
Again, I'm no Romney-bot, but let's focus on Romney's lack of Conservative principals instead of his ability to make a buck in the free market - leave that to the NYTimes.
That’s not capitalism; it’s theft.
