100. I don't know if the term "accurate" can be applied to it

Oct 2012

He was giving an opinion about the value of the company and the stock over time. The court could easily put an actual dollar amount on the stock at the present moment, but Romney was projecting about how much it would be worth in relation to division of assets. I don't know if it could be proven that he "lied" unless they somehow get concurrent testimony directly opposing what he told the court. It actually would speak more to his business acumen. Perhaps the Ex Wife could argue (or at least believes) that the entire testimony was a ruse to trick her into selling stock that she thought was worthless (even though she hadn't been allocated her portion yet), because if she had hung onto it rather than selling it she would have been much better off financially.
