Mutt Romney is pissing me off but it reminded me of an article:

www.businessinsider.com/romney-investment-in-voting-machines-2012-10

“A private-equity firm that is run and controlled largely by the Romney family, Solamere, sometimes co-invests with a "partner" private-equity firm, H.I.G., run by former colleagues of Mitt Romney and key fund-raisers for the Romney campaign.

The Romney's private-equity firm, Solamere, says it has not invested in the H.I.G. fund or entity that made the investment in the voting machine company.

But Solamere has invested in other H.I.G. funds that are run by the same H.I.G. partners who manage the H.I.G. entity that invested in the voting-machine company, many of whom are former Romney colleagues and current Romney fundraisers.

So Solamere may not have a direct or indirect investment in the voting machine company. But its partner H.I.G. does. And the partner, H.I.G., is run by executives who actively support the Romney campaign.“

I could have sworn Solamere has popped up before in digs so I’m going to take a look around.

Interesting piece popped up, but I need to verify through other sources:

truthout.org/articles/employees-of-romney-familys-secret-bank-tied-to-fraud-money-laundering-and-drug-cartels/

“As previously reported in by the Columbus Free Press, the Romney family, namely Mitt, Ann, G Scott and Tagg Romney, along with Mitt’s “6th son” and campaign finance chair have a secretive private equity firm called Solamere Capital Partners. This firms ties to Romney’s campaign and bundlers is already well documented, along with its connection to the manufacture and distribution of voting machines. What is not as well documented is a subsidiary of that private equity firm hiring employees of a failed firm tied to a Ponzi scheme that has a long history of money laundering for Latin American drug cartels and to the Iran-Contra scandal.”

Also mentions ties “all but one of its 11 employees came from the Charlotte office of the Stanford Financial Group, the US investment arm of convicted felon R. Allen Stanford’s offshore banking and fraud network that comprised a host of companies including the Stanford International Bank, Stanford Capital Management, The Bank of Antigua, Stanford Trust and Stanford Gold and Bullion. Three of these employees, Tim Bambauer, Deems May, and Brandon Phillips, received incentive compensation related to their direct sales of securities linked to a fraud that brought down this banking network.”
