Probable cause
The pilot's inadvertent raising of the landing gear during rollout.
NTSB analysis
The pilot reported that he touched down on runway 24 in the twin-engine airplane. He intended to raise the flaps to increase the braking effectiveness, but he raised the landing gear instead of the flaps. The landing gear retracted during rollout and the airplane sustained substantial damage.
