Mitt & Tagg Romney tied to Ponzi scheme

Despite previous assertions to the contrary, SEC documents link Mitt Romney and his son Tagg Romney to a firm involved in the Allen Stanford $7 billion Ponzi scheme.

Tagg, who recently threatened to “take a swing” at the President, has previously denied the links but legal filings say otherwise. Surely the Romney’s strict religious faith, that Mitt talks about so much now, doesn’t approve of lying, does it? Or is this what they mean when people talk about “lying for the Lord?”

Lee Fang at the Nation has more on the actual facts, rather than the Romney-family version of the story. The story is from six days, and still is obviously quite relevant.

The private equity firm run by Tagg Romney—Mitt’s eldest son, who is now taking a leadership role in guiding his father’s presidential campaign—misled reporters last year about its involvement with a company run by men accused of taking part in a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.

However, Solamere Capital’s statement, provided to ABC News, is false. Disclosures from the Securities and Exchange Commission show that Tagg’s company indeed maintains ties with the Ponzi-linked firm, Solamere Advisors.

1. Lying is OK with Mormons if it advances the faith.

Making money advances the faith, ergo....screw anybody you want, especially non LDS.

5. Lying isn't the only thing that seems to be OK for Mormons

They must think running a Ponzi scheme OK if it advances the LDS faith.

Welcome to DU

You will see folks say someone has been Tombstoned - that means they have been banned.

9. K&R is short for Kick (the thread) & Recommend (to Greatest page)

Kicking a thread means that when you reply, you bring back the Original Post to the first page of OPs in the Group's forum (default settings).

n/t is short for no/text in the Message text. Usually, if you go to the My Posts folder, you only see the headlines of replies to your posts. If you see n/t or NT or else, it means there's no point of opening the reply because no Message text has been written. It helps people who have limited access to the Intertubes in case it can save them bandwidth dollars and cents.
