You are wrong about Bain. They should be held liable for Medicare billing fraud. Does not seem like free market to me. Also, taking over firms and hyping up the stock price and dumping it seems like a breach of trust with the shareholders.
If both of those items happened, then they should be investigated and prosecuted accordingly.
However, much of these attacks on Bain have gone way, way beyond specific illegal actions to an attack on the entire private equity structure and that is getting pretty disgusting. It is making normal, legal and ethical practices sound completely immoral. We can’t forget who we are or what we stand for.
