        This news piece is somewhat old, but it illustrates all too well how Romney utilizes Bain Capital to cover his personal political interests. Perhaps Bain Capital's political interests are served rather well by Romney...

        ========================================

        Romney turns to Bain Capital's White as transition chief (http://http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/stories/2002/11/11/daily17.html)
        Boston Business Journal - November 12, 2002

        Bain Capital LLC founder and Massachusetts governor-elect Mitt Romney named Robert White, who is on leave as a managing director with Bain Capital, to lead Romney's gubernatorial transition team.

        White, 46, joined Bain & Co. in 1982, and then joined Bain Capital in 1984 after Romney founded the leveraged-buyout firm.

        White also worked on Romney's unsuccessful run to unseat U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy in 1994, and helped Romney with the Winter Olympics, according to a report by the Associated Press.

        White told the AP that other members of Romney's transition team will be announced later this week, along with members of a larger transition steering committee.

        Another old piece, but illustrates just how much influence Romney wielded over at Bain Capital prior to diversifying his focus more on politics.  "100% control," eh?  Note: politics has always been in the picture, so has business.  The percentage of focus to each has toggled between the two over the years.

        ========================

        Bain Capital's Romney aiming for politics after Olympics (http://http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/stories/2001/08/20/daily27.html)
        Boston Business Journal - August 23, 2001

        W. Mitt Romney is quitting Boston-based Bain Capital, the $13 billion investment firm he started with $35 million in 1984. The son of a former governor and himself a presidential candidate is going into politics in either Massachusetts or Utah after he completes work helping organize next year's Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.

        Romney, 54, is giving up his 100 percent control of Bain Capital to 26 managing directors. The firm has made 170 venture and buyout investments in companies like pizza delivery chain Domino's Pizza Inc., brokerage Datek Online Holdings Corp. and retailers Staples Inc. and the Sports Authority Inc.

        Before taking the Olympics job, Romney previously interrupted his business career in 1994 for a failed bid as Republican challenger to Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy.

        Oh, it's way more than that.  Even small time conservative crackpots like Joe Gauld (Hyde School) are very much linked into the (usually Republican) political process.

        Don't forget the media connections.  I remember when one of the senior admin/faculty at Hyde married the widowed daughter of Maine's so-called publishing empire (newspapers, TV).  The Gannett family owns practically everything with the exception of the Indy's.  

        This man, one of Joe Gauld's best friends and who had worked alongside of him since the 1950s, was then a bachelor in his late 60s and as gay as they come.  Go figure.  The situation was apparently a bit stifling for the old gentleman, as sex abuse cases where he targeted former male students are now coming to light.  And yes, the school is totally aware of this given that Sumner Hawley's shenanigans were the subject of many a hush-hush discussion in senior-faculty-only meetings.  Guess it shouldn't come to anyone's surprise -- that isn't a Hyde somnambulist -- that they now have the "Sumner Hawley Society," privileged membership restricted to those dipshits narcissistic enough to designate Hyde as a recipient in their wills.  Right!

        Back to Bain...

        So Bain Capital LLC finalized purchase of CRC Health Group for $720 Million from North Castle Partners and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners in February of 2006.  North Castle and DLJ Merchant Banking initially invested in CRC in August 2002.

        Who are North Castle and DLJ Merchant Banking?  Well, the latter entity was bought up by the 2nd largest Swiss Bank back in 2000.  Other than that, I can not find too much on them that doesn't peter off into trails of acquisitions and mergers.  For all functional purposes, they are now known as "a private equity fund Credit Suisse First Boston."

        North Castle Partners, however, turns up some interesting heritage.  From their website:

        ================================

        Managing Directors (http://http://www.northcastlepartners.com/team/principals.php)

        Charles F. Baird, Jr., North Castle's founder, has spent the last 25 years as an investor and consultant partnering with Chief Executive Officers to improve their companies' operating performance and shareholder returns. Mr. Baird began studying the emerging Healthy Living & Aging trends more than 10 years ago with strategic partners at Bain & Company, Adams, Harkness & Hill and Age Wave.

        Mr. Baird founded North Castle Partners in 1997 specifically to pursue opportunities in this dynamic new marketplace. He serves as chairman of the board of directors for four North Castle portfolio companies: gloProfessional, Leiner, Enzymatic Therapy and Octane Fitness. Mr. Baird also serves on the board of Performance Inc. and Red Door Spas and has served on the boards of directors of CRC Health, Equinox, GEI and Naked Juice. Mr. Baird is a trustee of The Alger Fund and the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

        Prior to founding North Castle, Mr. Baird served as a Managing Director of AEA Investors LLC, where he was involved in initiating, negotiating, financing, monitoring and exiting principal investments. From 1978 to 1989, Mr. Baird worked at Bain & Company, where, as an Executive Vice President and North American Management Committee member, he was involved in developing strategy and implementing profit improvement initiatives for companies in the health care, forest products, packaging, publishing, chemicals, food, plastics and textile industries.

        From 1975 to 1977, Mr. Baird worked in mergers and acquisitions at The First Boston Corporation. He received an A.B. from Harvard College and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.

        See also here for a couple of posts about North Castle Partners and Mr. Baird:

        ================================

        I'm not going to bore you with details of all the other personnel; suffice it to say that the names Bain, Credit Suisse First Boston, and DLJ Merchant Banking pop up a few more times.  People do switch companies in a given field from time to time, I'm not inclined to read more into it than that; however, I do find it significant that the founder of NCP has Bain connections.

        Romney wealth as high as $250 million (http://http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20251525/)
        Blind trust claims banks, export credit corporations and real estate
        Associated Press
        Updated: 3:51 p.m. ET Aug 13, 2007

        WASHINGTON - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the wealthiest White House contender from either party, is worth as much as $250 million, according to information released by his campaign Monday.

        The former venture capitalist's wealth - reported in a range of $190 million to $250 million - is spread throughout a dizzying array of investments, that include banks, large investment management firms, foreign export credit corporations and real estate.

        Romney reported the details of his wealth in a personal financial disclosure report filed Monday with the Federal Election Commission and the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. Presidential candidates had been required to file such disclosures by May 15, but Romney asked for two 45-day extensions to obtain detailed values of his and his wife's blind trusts.

        Blind trust

        The report offers the most detailed public look yet at the finances of the former Massachusetts governor, who has refused to release his income tax returns, and who previously filed only state financial disclosure forms that described his holdings in the most general terms. His most recent Massachusetts report, filed in May for calendar 2006, was only 10 pages long, compared with the 47-page federal report.

        The federal report was something of a revelation for Romney as well.

        His assets have been held in a blind trust since January 2003, but the Office of Government Ethics requires a detailed list of individual holdings. Forced to open his blind trust, the Romneys - and the world - discovered precisely which stocks, bonds and mutual funds they own.

        In the report, Romney underscores his lack of control over the holdings, writing, "In each case, R. Bradford Malt, as trustee, has complete investment discretion over the assets held by these investment vehicles."

        The report said: "Since Jan. 1, 2003, neither Mr. Romney nor Mrs. Romney has had any control over the assets acquired or disposed of by the vehicles, neither Mr. Romney nor Mrs. Romney has received any reports identifying specific assets held, and the management of the assets has been deemed blind by the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission."

        Iranian holding?

        The report highlights a continuing connection between Romney and Bain Capital, the venture capital firm he founded and which he left in 1999 to assume leadership of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.

        Earlier this year, Romney played down any lingering connection after The Associated Press reported Bain Capital and Bain & Co., the management consulting firm where Romney used to work, had links to Iranian business interests or deals despite Romney's campaign-trail call for state pension funds to divest from Iran. At the time, a spokesman highlighted Romney's 1999 resignation from Bain, while Romney himself said his divestment call applied only to future activity, not past dealings.

        A notation in Romney's filing, however, says that his Bain investments have been in his and his wife's blind trusts and that "neither Mr. Romney nor Mrs. Romney has had any control over the assets acquired or disposed of" since January 2003.

        A note in the report also states that Romney asked for Bain's underlying holdings, but, like other funds in his blind trust, the fund managers said the information was confidential and declined to provide it.

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 (http://http://romneyfacts.com/money.php?q=marcheta), 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:


        Ropes & Gray is also mentioned a couple of times in this Form 10-K (http://http://google.brand.edgar-online.com/EFX_dll/EDGARpro.dll?FetchFilingHTML1?ID=5077734&SessionID=yndHWjaFdFXoJl7) (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 (http://http://www.secinfo.com/d14D5a.v41kh.3q.htm#1stPage)) 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.

        New Suits
        Bain, Goldman Rigged Leverage Buyout Terms, Suit Says (http://http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=conewsstory&refer=conews&tkr=MRK:US&sid=aSo8781BfI_Y)

        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).
