Romney's Tax Returns - A Whole New Use for Bitcoins - GoFuckYourself.com

"Mitt Romney?s tax returns are reportedly in the hands of a team of hackers who plan on releasing them publicly at the end of the month unless a ransom is paid.

The group allegedly obtained the files from PricewaterhouseCooper?s Tennessee office on Aug. 25, in what was described on PasteBin as a Mission Impossible-like caper...

...The release, however, could allegedly be avoided if Romney?s camp were to wire transfer $1 million in Bitcoins ? an online currency that is difficult both to trace and to identify."

I really hope this is true - they might be bluffing and not have them. Also they said other interested parties are free to bid also - seems like a million dollars ransom is low - I bet the Mormon "Church" would love to see them too - discover how much money ol Mitt has been hiding from THEM as well as the IRS...

Could shine a very bright light on bitcoins. For better or worse....

Better or worse, this will make the exchange rate for bitcoins go up.

An auction would be a great way to make a fortune. Need to prove they have the documents, then the bidding begins.

If they really have them the only way this works out for Romney in any decent way is if the authorities catch the guys without them being released. Obviously if he pays them it is a disaster because it shows whatever is there is so damaging he is willing to pay a million dollars to keep it hidden. If he doesn't pay and they get released we finally get to see what is on them that Romney wanted to keep hidden.

Presidential candidate + Extortion + FBI = jail

Jail + computer geek + large black men = sore rectum

I have double-checked your math. You are correct.

Well, you only go to jail if you get caught. Why do you think Romney is worried about those tax returns to begin with?

Paul Markham · 09-07-2012, 02:55 AM

No one thinking it's a scam or even someone in the Democrat Party trying to discredit him?

Converting $1m of USD cash to bitcoins could present a challenge. I doubt any single exchange would be able to do it.

why not? there are 100k BTC listed for sale below $13/BTC right now on mtgox

i think the story is bs to begin with. anyone thinks there's anything out of ordinary that could shock the world in those tax returns?

what didn't make into tax returns would be much more interesting to find out and to ask ransom for, if there is anything of that nature in Romney's closet.

TampaToker · 09-07-2012, 08:54 AM

Could be a case of self-victimization. Since Carl Rove is running one of Romney's super pacs
anything could be possible
