[quote]Government documents filed by Mitt Romney and Bain Capital say Romney remained chief executive and chairman of the firm three years beyond the date he said he ceded control, even creating five new investment partnerships during that time.

Romney has said he left Bain in 1999 to lead the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, ending his role in the company. But public Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed later by Bain Capital state he remained the firm’s “sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president.”

Isn't it a felony to lie in federal filings?

It is.

SEC records don't lie and on top of that Romney himself testified that he still had ties to the
company

Maybe you missed the bold underlined sentence, so I'll reiterate it a few times:

winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital
winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital
winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital
winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital

Man leaves company to save Olympic games and... 
 ...winds down his partnership interest in the company (Bain Capital). 
Understand you can do that without running the company! 

Tony Resco buys Obama a house = nothing to see here
Romney saves the Olympics and winds down his partnership in a company in order to do so = scandal!! LOL.   

Take it down a notch. I posted Romney's own words, which were in testimony he gave to prove Massachusetts residency in order to stand for Governor. Now, if he wasn't connected to Bain then, he lied under oath then and if he was connected to Bain, then he's stretching the truth now. Either way, it appears he has honesty issues.

That either/or is ludicrous.  Maybe you don't understand what "winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital" means.  Maybe it didn't occur to you that you can go out of town on business for an extended period of time (saving the Olympics, fighting in a war, etc) without surrendering your residency OR perhaps you need to take it down a notch and think for 5 minutes.     

I'm not trying to get into a back and forth, I just think there is more to all of this than Romney is saying.
