If Romney retroactively retired from Bain, did he return the salary he was given?

Remember, he received over $100,000 from Bain from 1999 to 2002 (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002941497).

We don't even know exactly how much he received during this period because he won't say and he won't release his tax returns. It could be millions.

Did rMoney give this salary back? After all, he's now claiming that he retroactively retired.

Or did rMoney do what he normally does, stash it away in the Cayman Islands?

He was the CEO and sole stockholder of Bain until 2002 as legally stipulated in SEC documents that he signed. There is no such thing as retroactive retirement.
