You can say to a blind trust, don't invest in properties which would be in conflict of interest or where the seller might think they're going to get an advantage from me." “The blind trust is an age-old ruse,” Romney told the Boston Globe in October of that year. “You give a blind trust rules.

That allows in part for his large donations to his own campaign. Some might say his campaign was built in part on 'tainted' money. Good news for Mitt!
