Weird that they still list him as a key person at Bain capital if he has zero to do with it.

You mean bain capital which is an all employee owned company that doesn’t own IHeart radio solely in any way? Ok! https://www.baincapitalbdc.com/investor-relations/governance. I thought an employee owned company would be fully loved by the socialist loving humans on here.like that company is the liberal dream come true.

Ah yes, socialists love private equity firms. Well known for that. And you should understand what "employee owned" can mean, It can mean a number of different things, but I highly doubt Bain Capital is a workers' co-op or anything of that sort. It just means they have stock options and the like. I won't pretend to know all the ins and outs, but it's not a worker cooperative like the Mondragon Corporation in Spain, which absolutely does have socialist/anarcho-syndicalist roots.

Sure could but that’s not the case , unless you have proof orherwise. Just the fact you are saying his involvement in Bain that ended in 2000 which is 22 years ago shows how out of touch you are honestly.
