I don’t know what that NY mag is talking about. Charles just linked the Mother Jones article clearly showing that Romney was in charge of the company while it was investing in companies that outsourced in 1998.

The Washington Post said Bain has been doing this for 15 years prior to that.

Mitt Romney’s financial company, Bain Capital, invested in a series of firms that specialized in relocating jobs done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India.

During the nearly 15 years that Romney was actively involved in running Bain, a private equity firm that he founded, it owned companies that were pioneers in the practice of shipping work from the United States to overseas call centers and factories making computer components, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
