retroactively

ret·ro·ac·tive (rtr-ktv)

Influencing or applying to a period prior to enactment: a retroactive pay increase

There's no such thing as a 'retroactively' retirement. Either you are or you're not.

He is a CEO,sole owner, sole shareholder for goodness sake. He is used to making statements to his underlings (of which he considers 300 million of us) without thought of being quesitoned or doubted.

If he said he retired from Bain in 1999 (even though he was drawing more than 100,000.00 annually and still listed as CEO and Sole Owner, well, then, he obviously had resigned and had no decision-making.
You are so fucking lucky being a citizen can't be outsourced, or your butt would be in China by now!
