Default Mitt Romney implicated in perjury and stock fraud, made millions in process




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.

Do more people in America abhor that style of business than people that admire it?

I would like to believe that honest Americans still outnumber the "greed is good" demographic.

I'm sure that is still true but as the decades go by the gap is closing or so says my observation.

Greed is a silly stupid liberal term. This country is founded on freedom to work your way up through life, and reap what you sew. Now if you choose to be charitable with your earnings, good for you. The government cannot take that from you. They cannot mandate charity. That is THEFT. That's how revolutions start.

If you covet thy neighbors cache, well, maybe you should get out and start working like they do/did.

On topic, this is the same garbage that pops up around this time every election period. Politics will pull out all the stops for the chance to control the fate of the country, it's people and the ideals. It's chicken $hit but what else is new.

WOW! This is a true game changer! As big a story as this is, it's crazy that it hasn't been picked up by one of the major news organizations! The headline alone is just scandalous! Perjury! Fraud!

Good thing radaronline.com is there to blow the lid off this thing!

outside of all 51868 that you've posted. We get it and your mentality... "you didn't earn that wage, the GOVERNMENT earned that wage for you... now it's going to take it's share back, except not at equal levels..."

because that's what the land of the free is all about.

So you back away from your idiotic "there's no such thing as greed" message and replace it with a straw man.

Go figure.

Look here. The problem, IMO, isn't that rich people don't pay enough in taxes. I'm fine with every PERSON paying the same tax rate. The problem, is that the super wealthy, corporations and big business CHEAT the system out of a ton of tax dollars with the loop holes and please please don't try and deny that. You know, I don't come in here and pretend that there aren't too many freeloaders taking government handouts. But I can't understand why Republicans can't be honest about this redistribution crap and that the super wealthy aren't, for the most part, in close ties making sure they can cheat to pay less. That IS greed, and it's been around for a long time. Some of them give to charities, that's great. But if you cheat the system out of billions of tax dollars and then give a few million to charity, that's called a ****ed up system.

The media will be sniffing overtime on this one looking for crumbs even while they use the Khalidi tapes as seat cushions. Sounds like home girl here may be trying to dangle some bait for $$$$.

The Washington Examiner?

Now there's a credible, unbiased source.

You really think any lawyer worth his salt would touch Maureen Stemberg with a ten foot pole if Romney didn't really have the stock?
