Well, looks like that private equity firm came up with a great idea to recoup some money and spread that McIntosh love: a $1,500 faceplate tacked onto a box.

@cleeds, No, I wasn't aware of Romney doing that but it's quite an unusual thing for him to do as his record is that of strip, dump and run shark.

All the best,

This is the business model that Mitt Romney made his fortune from. 

  • Take over board by buying out members
  • Take out loans and saddle company with debt
  • Charge enormous fees for "managing" things
  • Make it more efficient by cutting quality and downsize labor to pay interest on debt
  • State your mission accomplished and leave company with debt so large they have to declare bankruptcy 
  • Move onto next victim business

To think this used to be illegal a long time ago makes one wonder....

All the best,
