Sooo... i guess this was all just a big scam again with no actual hack and no actual documents to reveal?
not sure.. some did release 2008 tax returns But no forms to explain the millions of deductions. LOL. Did you know you too can "release" his taxes with nothing more than pdf software?

Looks like it is probably the same guy (based on his "preview" of "document 3"). Don't know how he thinks that he can prove that they are genuine...even I can photoshop a tax document and I have very little in photo editing skills.

Turns out to be a giant RickRoll. I'm glad that the internet is getting to the point where we are almost consuming our culture almost as fast as it is being created, and investigating things until they're completely exposed.

Indeed - sad that they really couldn't come up with something better than a lame RickRoll.

Did anyone notice that they have apparently found the person who tried to pull this fraud? I just saw this on Cryptome: http://cryptome.org/2012/11/romney-tax-plot.pdfSearch Warrant for Michael Mancil Brown. They want a DNA sample. They've got IP addresses from Pastebin and from some newspaper in Tennessee. Check it. -p

I hope he backed up his 371,000BTC well before the secret service took it!!!!
EDIT -- oh wait, supposedly he donated it all to others?
That whole story sounds fishy, WTF.

What I find interesting about this case is that the search warrant specifically identified Bitcoin and two specific Bitcoin addresses among the items to be seized. Is this a first?
If this guy has over 370,000 BTC why on earth is he asking for financial donations?

This doesn't make much sense to me. I suspect we don't have all relevant information yet ;>

He probably had the encrypted passwords saved on his computer that were seized. BTW, I think this guy is 100% innocent. The only fraudsters in bitcoin land use Bootstrap for website design, yet this guy used Joomla.

Introducing constraints to the economy only serves to limit what can be economical.
