Bain Capital's bloody hands.

Bain Capital's bloody hands.
Interesting article I stumbled upon.

Did Bain Capital receive startup money from leaders of El Salvadorian death squads?

Quote:While they were on the lookout for investments in the United States, members of some of these prominent families -- including the Salaverria, Poma, de Sola and Dueñas clans -- were also at the time financing, either directly or through political parties, death squads in El Salvador. The ruling classes were deploying the death squads to beat back left-wing guerrillas and reformers during El Salvador's civil war.
In 1982, two years before Romney began raising money from the these well-heeled Salvadoran financiers, El Salvador's independent Human Rights Commission reported that, of the 35,000 civilians killed in that tiny country's civil war, "most" died at the hands of death squads.


Also, slightly unrelated, but oops!
