Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

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.

If the Bitcoin extortion did not have anything to do with this decision, why then do this so late in the campaign? Other News Sources: The Wall Street JournalCNN |

As already mentioned, these are not the infamous blackmail tax returns. 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.

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 |

Who cares? A presidential candidate releasing their tax return? Who gives a shit. Much more important is why companies like GE don't pay any taxes.

Probably a similar reason why 47M people get paid taxes. |
