UPDATE: The Secret Service says it is investigating the hacker groups claims.
Mitt Romneys 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers Tennessee office on Aug. 25, in what was described on PasteBin as a Mission Impossible-like caper:
Romneys 1040 tax returns were taken from the PWC office 8/25/2012 by gaining access to the third floor via a gentleman working on the 3rd floor of the building. Once on the 3rd floor, the team moved down the stairs to the 2nd floor and setup shop in an empty office room. During the night, suite 260 was entered, and all available 1040 tax forms for Romney were copied. A package was sent to the PWC on suite 260 with a flash drive containing a copy of the 1040 files, plus copies were sent to the Democratic office in the county and copies were sent to the GOP office in the county at the beginning of the week also containing flash drives with copies of Romneys tax returns before 2010. A scanned signature image for Mitt Romney from the 1040 forms were scanned and included with the packages, taken from earlier 1040 tax forms gathered and stored on the flash drives.

Smells pretty fishy to me. I think it's a Rovian distraction, trying to take attention away from a very successful convention.

I confess to wondering when Assange's compatriots might
get around to finding Mitt's tax returns, and putting them
on display for the whole nation and world to see.
But this smells to high Heaven, is criminal, and intended
no doubt to raise doubts in the publics mind about the
integrity of Julian, Anonymous, et. al.
