He left Bain in '99 and supposedly was playing with the Olympics. Now this doesn't mean he didn't have some relationship with Bain afterwards (and that's murky from all I've read). He could weasel from this one saying he no longer was part of Bain and this was guilt by association. Staples and Sports Authority are far more relevant targets, but it would be interesting to learn more about Mitten's relationship with Bain after he left "active employ".
