The NYT is just spinning for today’s headline.
The times article was from 2010... but isn’t what is going on is that there is being made an association: bain=romney, and once that’s the carved-in impression, then anything bad about bain is automatically attributed to romney, also? and so the republicans can’t afford to say bad stuff about bain, or have bad stuff come out about bain, because it will register as bad stuff about romney...
When did he sell it?
He founded Bain Capital in 1984 with 2 other men.
If you check Edgar for Bain Capital, you'll get things like this:2000 SEC, (o) Includes 527,129 shares held by Bain Capital Fund VI, L.P., whose sole general partner is Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P., whose sole general partner is Bain Capital Investors VI, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly owned by W.

Mitt Romney; 16,645 shares held by BCIP Associates II-B, a Delaware general partnership of which the managing general partner is Bain Capital, Inc., which is wholly owned by W. Mitt Romney;
If he "wholly owns" it, when did he sell?
