Romney borrows money and uses it to buy a majority stake in a company. After taking over the board he votes his company Bain a large management fee. He borrows from the company's bank to pay back those who loaned him money. The money also pays bonuses for Bain managers.

The Bain managers cut the number of employees, benefits, and much else to help pay back the bank loan. For much more see this article and the appended video.
