Bain Capital is also being sued:  Dahl vs. Bain in the USDC district of Massachusets.  Allegations of anti-trust activity and insider shenanigans.  Anyone intererested can Google Dahl vs. Bain to learn more.

We have been instrumental several times in litigating the partial or complete conversion of nonprofit entities to for-profit status.

Holy shit, there's some evil fucks over at R&G. Pretty much all they do is corporate defense of some of the nastiest scumbags in the business, with helping them avoid regulation on the side. Hey Ursus, have they ever been involved in Aspen's defense?

Oh yeah. Evil.

Hey, Bradford? You reading this? Look, we're not dumb enough here to actually ask that you do something ethical, however I would like to throw out that despite the piddly $2k Aspen's vice president gave his presidential campaign back in January of 07, it'll cost him a lot more in votes when the whole "Mitt Romney gets money from child abuse" meme starts spreading. And yes, it will spread, because I will spread it, anonymously and repeatedly. So my personal recommendation is to use whatever shares you have to tell CRC to disintegrate Aspen Education, sell the land, and cut their losses.

Something along those lines... would be the gist of their rep, from what I can gather.  :D

I'm not sure that they would get involved in the nitty gritty of acting on behalf of Aspen's defense per se. The TTI, as far as individual programs are concerned, would appear to be, perhaps, chump change for them.

CRC Health Corporation as a whole, on the other hand, is another story. As far as Ropes & Gray's involvement with the latter is concerned, there is a fair amount of material one can find from a google regarding the year 2006. This would be when CRC "merged" with Bain.

Here are some Tech Agreements that they facilitated, regarding employee stock:

  • Management Agreement With Bain
    Effective Date:    February 06, 2006
    Parties:    CRC Health
    Sectors:    Services
    Law Firms:    DLA Piper, Ropes & Gray
    Governing Law:     New York

Ropes & Gray is also mentioned a couple of times in this Form 10-K (Annual Report for fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006) filed by CRC Health Corporation as "Ropes and Gray LLP, New York counsel to the Loan Parties."

Here is an Opinion (Exhibit 5.1) they filed June 20, 2006, confirming agreement particulars regarding exchange of stock and the loan period which, by the way, comes due February 1, 2016.

Bain, Goldman Rigged Leverage Buyout Terms, Suit Says

A nice summary was posted on Bloomberg.com the day after it was first filed (2008):

New Suits
Bain, Goldman Rigged Leverage Buyout Terms, Suit Says

Bain Capital Partners LLC, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., The Blackstone Group, Merrill Lynch & Co. and 12 other investment banks and private-equity firms rigged bids for leveraged buyouts, investors claimed in a lawsuit.

Shareholders in companies targeted for buyout said the firms conspired to fix transaction prices and divide the market for private-equity services for LBOs in violation of federal antitrust law, according to the complaint filed yesterday in federal court in Boston.

In a leveraged buyout, a purchaser uses debt to acquire a controlling interest in the shares of a company, then takes it private. The defendants, which also include JPMorgan Chase & Co., Texas Pacific Group and Warburg Pincus LLC, conspired to dominate the LBO market and fix prices for target companies at artificially low levels, according to the complaint.

Mark Herr, a spokesman for New York-based Merrill, said the company doesn't comment on pending litigation. Goldman Sachs spokeswoman Gia Moron didn't return a phone call seeking comment.

The lawsuit was filed by Kirk Dahl of Minnesota, Helmut Goeppinger of Germany and Joel Gerber of New York. All three were shareholders of Freescale Semiconductor Inc. on Dec. 1, 2006, according to the complaint. On that date, Freescale agreed to be taken private by Blackstone, Texas Pacific, The Carlyle Group and Permira Advisors LLC. Carlyle and Permira are also named as defendants in the suit.

The case is Dahl v. Bain Capital Partners LLC, 08-10254, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston).

CRC Health - Recovery Division
« Reply #19 on: January 10, 2010, 11:52:11 PM »
Here's a look at a number of programs that CRC Health Corporation owns, which would appear to represent their "Recovery Division."


[The Aspen Ed programs are all within their "Healthy Living Division," and hence not listed here.
