Comments on: Latest on Rmoney’s Bain Mittstorm https://habitablezone.com/2012/07/13/latest-on-rmoneys-bain-mittstorm/ Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:18:10 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: BuckGalaxy https://habitablezone.com/2012/07/13/latest-on-rmoneys-bain-mittstorm/#comment-16441 BuckGalaxy Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:56:14 +0000 http://habitablezone.com/?p=18232#comment-16441 We'll see how this all plays out, but the operational control argument is not a great one for Rmoney. Bottom line: Rmoney is listed as President, CEO, Chairman of the Board, and he received a six figure salary during the years in question, as well as having profited far more immensely from his stake as Sole Shareholder in Bain. But he had nothing to do with Bain because he didn't have day-to-day operational control?? At best that reduces his argument of not being responsible for outsourcing down to a very narrow legalistic sliver. Most Americans who live outside the fact-free rightwing alternate-reality news universe aren't going to buy it.
