So What Do You Think About Romney's Taxes Being Stolen

[musclemom]

Stunt? Bluff? Ruse?? Phishing?

Seriously, all I can think is: WHAT'S THE BIG FUCKING DEAL, DUDE?!? Publish it and get it over with. The fact you want to conceal your own financial facts just makes me wonder what about the U.S. finances you wouldn't tell us about if you got into office. I mean, seriously, we already know you're rich, what's another $100 million more or less?

Mitt?s coveted tax returns hacked? Feds investigateextortion stunt - NY Daily News

The Secret Service is investigating a bizarre shakedown scheme that hinges on some of the world's most coveted documents: Mitt Romney's tax returns.

In messages posted online and mailed to political offices in Williamson County, Tenn., an anonymous party claims to have stolen the digital files from a nearby office of accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, according to the Nashville City Paper.

The word "Republican" was misspelled on that party's missive, the paper reported.

With the letters, the perp or perps included computer thumb drives they claim contain the documents, encrypted for secrecy.

The extorter demands a $1 million payoff via one of two online payment addresses, one for release of the encryption codes, the other for keeping the documents under wraps.

Whichever account reaches $1 million first wins. If neither does by Sept. 28, the purported returns would be released.

Secret Service spokesman Ed Gillespie confirmed his agency is investigating but declined to comment further.

PricewaterhouseCoopers spokesman Chris Atkins said his company is "working closely" with investigators, "and at this time there is no evidence that our systems have been compromised or that there was any unauthorized access to the data in question."

You should be more worried what Obama does with OUR money then what Mitt does with his!

Mitt probably just doesn't want the church to see that he doesn't pay his full tithing.

A side effect of knowing how to succeed means accruing large amounts of money. Quite frankly I dont give a damn how much money mitt has and would prefer someone as president who actually has succeeded in the private sector. Ask yourself if you had a corporation, who would you rather run it, Obama or Romney?

Neither did I. Oddly enough it was on the front page of AOL (yes, I still have AOL) the Huffington Post, which I kind of didn't trust, so I Googled it until I found a "real" news source, I thought the NY Daily News seemed real enough.

Tangentially, I've never understood the Obama birth certificate thing. I don't remember anyone ever making that an issue with any president before and assumed it was spin playing on fear and bigotry because he had a weird name and was a person of mixed race.

Anyone ever see the episode of Big Bang where Sheldon and Amy start a rumor? Political whisper down the lane to create confusion in the masses.

I really don't give a shit about politicians releasing any personal information UNTIL they make an issue out of releasing it. I don't remember what the deal was with Obama's transcripts so I can't comment.
