Romney at Bain Capital after he has said he left - according to SEC filings

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/questions-romney-left-bain-capital-135713042.html

Government filings say Mitt Romney may have worked at Bain Capital longer than he's publicly suggested.

Romney has repeatedly said he left Bain in 1999 to lead the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. But according to the Boston Globe, Bain's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission say Romney remained the firm's "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president" until 2002.

The Globe also reports that Romney's financial disclosure forms filed in Massachusetts list him as the sole owner of Bain Capital in 2002 and say he earned money as a Bain "executive" in 2001 and 2002.

The timing is notable because Romney has said his resignation from the company in 1999 meant he was not responsible for companies owned by Bain that went bankrupt or laid off workers after that date. But both Bain Capital and the Romney campaign disputed the story, the latter describing the article as "inaccurate."
