Gillespie says Romney ‘retired retroactively’ from Bain Capital
Source: The Hill

Democrats have raised questions about when exactly Romney left Bain . Romney has said he left in 1999 to oversee preparations for the Salt Lake City Olympics, but SEC documents show him listed as Bain’s CEO beyond that time.

Gillespie on Sunday sought to clarify the matter, saying that Romney initially thought he would be leaving Bain on a temporary basis, but the challenges of the Olympics led him to “retire retroactively.”

"There may have been a thought at the time that it could be part time, but it was not part time," Gillespie said.

"He took a left of absence and in fact he ended up not going back at all, and retired retroactively to 1999 as a result," he added. He left a life he loved to go to Salt Lake City and help a country he loves more, and somehow Chicago… is trying to make it something sinister." "

So a former Bain manager says the 3 year "delay" was because the retirement negotiations just took that long.

While rMoney's spokesperson says it was because Mitt figured in in 2002 that he wasn't going to have enough time to do Bain and decided to "retroactively retire"....
