Bain bought EDGAR ONLINE .. a for pay subscription service. Weird that something so similar to a govt entity can be privately owned. I’m a neophyte in such things, but perhaps some investor/finance type can explain this.

Romney Plans to Pursue Public Service - SLOC boss won’t return to business after Games; Romney Plans to Pursue Public Service
Salt Lake Tribune, The (UT) - Tuesday, August 21, 2001
Author: MIKE GORRELL, THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
EXCERPT
The transition was ensured when Romney informed the 26 managing directors of Bain Capital recently that he was “going limited.” That meant he no longer intended to resume his duties as managing partner and chief executive of the company, which started or took part in 140 corporate acquisitions since 1984 and has more than $12 billion in assets.
In doing so, he gave up control over all of Bain Capital’s voting stock, dividing the shares between the two dozen directors. The divestiture had no financial ramifications, Romney said, affecting only the management and control of the company.

Public service for Romney
Deseret News, The (Salt Lake City, UT) - Monday, August 20, 2001
Author: Lisa Riley Roche and Bob Bernick Jr., Deseret News staff writers
EXCERPT
Romney took a leave of absence in 1999 as chief executive officer of Bain Capital Inc. to take the helm at SLOC.
Bain is one of the nation’s biggest private equity firms with 26 partners.
Earlier this year, Huntsman Corp. announced a deal in which Bain invested more than $600 million in the Salt Lake City-based chemical company.
Under terms of the deal, Bain gained a minority equity stake in Huntsman Corp., which assured the deal had nothing to do with Romney .
Can we find that NEWS and post it as a thread then put it in a very visual spot, Jim?
To Willard it all depends on what the word “left” means. He left only as CEO. But he's still making mega bucks and you can bet he's somehow on the board of directors.
Is it any wonder Newt and Sarah have been yelling “show us your records”
Let's help Newt out!
