Secret Service Investigating Romney Tax Hack Claim
A federal investigation has been launched after hackers claimed to have stolen Mitt Romney’s tax returns. The hackers have given Romney until September 28th to pay $1 million in bitcoins or they say they will release the returns. From the article: "The claim was made in a post on the Pastebin site on Sunday that alleged that Romney's federal tax returns were taken from the offices of PriceWaterhouse Coopers in Frankin, Tenn., on August 25 by someone who snuck into the building and made copies of the document. The message author threatened to release the files publicly on September 28 and said copies of the files had been given to Democratic and Republican leaders in that county. Democrats have made Romney's refusal to release his tax returns a key point in their criticism that he is not in touch with working class voters."
Someone actually thinks bitcoins are worth having.

Dunno, it seems to flip-flop between "Information should be free, leak everything!" to "Noooo don't give away our personal information!" Just depends on which day of the week it is, and which of the usual Trolls is on their period.
Back in my day we used to call people who snuck into buildings and stole things "burgalers".
And then they invented spell-check.
