Title: The fun is over! Romney releases 2011 tax records... Post by: blablahblah on September 21, 2012, 05:54:33 PM http://www.zerohedge.com/news/mitt-romney-releases-2011-tax-filing (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/mitt-romney-releases-2011-tax-filing)
I ctrl-F'd and searched for Bitcoin, but so far no hits. ;D Title: Re: The fun is over! Romney releases 2011 tax records... Post by: SgtSpike on September 21, 2012, 05:58:59 PM This isn't related to the ransom. The ransom was for earlier tax records (not sure what years) in which Romney supposedly has something to hide. As the article says, the Romneys are just now filing their 2011 tax returns (probably filed for an extension earlier in the year), and they'll be released later today.

Post by: SgtSpike on September 21, 2012, 06:14:16 PM If the Bitcoin extortion did not have anything to do with this decision, why then do this so late in the campaign? Because they just filed the 2011 returns. They weren't done until today, so obviously, they couldn't release them earlier.Other News Sources: The Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444032404578010451626055738.html) CNN (http://money.cnn.com/2012/09/21/pf/taxes/romney-tax-return/index.html) Title: Re: The fun is over!

Post by: SgtSpike on September 21, 2012, 06:57:03 PM His 2011 is not where the "juicy" ones are.. :P I can't wait! 6.9 days and counting! Does anyone have a link to the ransom counter site? Please don't tell me it's still sitting on 3BTC :D https://blockchain.info/address/12AP6iCwRNFQqKLStH3A4b4hw3SL6RaNgB https://blockchain.info/address/1HeF89wMjC48bWNgWvVo7Wu3RaLW8XVsE8 Ironically, there's more BTC in bets regarding the ransom than there are donated to the tax thieves addresses. http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=638 Title: Re: The fun is over!

These are part of the two years that the campaign has always planned on releasing.
I suspect the end date will come and go and we'll find out the "hackers" are full of shit. I really hope I'm wrong and they release the info, but i doubt it. At least BTC got some press out of it.

Post by: Desolator on September 21, 2012, 11:25:23 PM I'm surprised nobody suggested that the extortion is all a PR stunt by Butterfly Labs to promote their soon to be released mid-level 7GH/s "The Romney" ASIC miner :P
