I was told that the dark roast loses some caffeine during dark roasting process.

Dark roasts have less caffeine than light roasts. Caffiene evaporates when it is heated at longer temperatures, which means the longer beans are roasted, the less caffeine they have.
This also means that Arabica Beans(ones that you find at speciatly coffee shops-ie. Starbuck's and Caribou) have less caffeine than Robusta Beans(commercial coffees like Folger's.)
