Mitt Romney Slapped With Racketeering Lawsuit

Posted by | January 8, 2015 08:50 | Filed under: Top Stories


Via Addicting Info comes the news that the former GOP presidential candidate is being accused of racketeering in the matter of a corporate liquidation:

Stephen “Laser” Haas operates Collateral Logistics Inc. (CLI) a company which was appointed to oversee the liquidation of assets in the bankruptcy of eToys in 2001. He has now filed suit against Mitt Romney along with his company Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs, and several other firms, over actions taken in the eToys bankruptcy which manipulated the sale price, costing the companies shareholders millions. A US Judge confirmed the details of the case back in 2005, but under the Bush administration enforcement of these laws was lackluster at best. Bain Capital has already found itself in hot water over similar price-fixing scandals, but this case comes with paperwork implicating the one time GOP presidential nominee of price manipulation.

According to the affidavit by Mr. Haas, his firm found many accounting irregularities which he reported to US Attorney Colm F. Connolly. However, instead of acting, the issues were ignored. It turned out that Mr. Connolly failed to recuse himself from the case despite his ties to Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell (MNAT), a law firm which Mr. Haas alleges has ties to Mr. Romney.

Of course Mr. Romney already tried to claim that he had retroactively retired from Bain Capital. The failure of Mr. Connolly to enforce the RICO statute has landed him a spot on the lawsuit, right next to Mr. Romney.

    Any dirt thrown at mit will only go to further the love that republicans have for him. They have an affinity for those that break the law, as evidence of the election of grimm from Stanten Is.

      Hope there are a lot of Gopees in the prison he is going to

        He’ll only serve in confinements that have elevators for cars, ATM’s that allow for offshore transfers and an exclusive stable for Miss Annie’s talking pony.

        PS: -do like the Va. x-first family: blame it on the wife!
        NO! -not Miss Annie, the other wife!
        NO! -not her, the other one – not that one either!
        The one that stayed behind in Idaho: -yes that one. Nobody knows who she is anyway.

        PSS: Mitt underestimated the ability of the Chinese to rat out ungrateful American businessmen who made a fortune + exploiting their human misery.

      -must be the new GOP strategy? – walk off with the election and into the arms of waiting Federal Corrections Officers, thereby causing your constituents to be forced into a ‘special’ election?

      (cost the taxpayers MORE money -reducing their interest in having offshore bank accounts checked/frozen and/or confiscated.)

      I don’t the Constitution disqualifies him from LOSING again like in the projected mudslide of 2012, only from actually being allowed to cruise the skies in the US Flying Palace of POTUS Obama that many of the world’s Emperors are envious of .

      BTW, POTUS Obama still has His Excellent Maui Tan!

    • mrsgunka January 8th, 2015 at 10:24

      Do you think he would let a little technicality stop him? Ann is people too!

    • Foundryman January 8th, 2015 at 11:21

      I’m not so sure, with his base, this would be considered an asset….

    • tracey marie January 8th, 2015 at 13:42

      Why wouldn’t he, Perry is indicted and is running, carson is a plagarist with Rand and they are running

    • LaserHaas01 January 8th, 2015 at 17:25

      Not only is he going to run again (as he’s been around the nation backing every repub he can make deals with – for the last 2 years);

      if we don’t stop him before Sept 2016

      He WON”T lose!

      (is it OK to send a trucker’s salute, or will it be more appropriate to wait until his family members come on Foxx News all teary eyed with apologies, etc,etc,etc?)

      before going on vacation at one of Mitt’s offshore bank accounts island?

      I thought it was normal to freeze offshore bank accounts if they’re criminally related?

    We should have voted for Romney! – two years into his first term and there’d already be talk about putting Sara into the White House for an UN-ELECTED two year stint.!

    OH the fun the leader of DPRK would have had on the keyboard, huh?

    A civil lawsuit is one thing, follow that with a federal indictment for racketeering would be the best!

    • LaserHaas01 January 8th, 2015 at 17:07

      Our problem has been akin to Diogenes quest. Any honorable public servant gets booted, drummed down, forced to retire – or deals up the ladder.

      Mitt needs everyone corrupt;
      and we’ve always need just one

      not to be!
