Thom I believe said that you can only put up to $6,000 a year in a 401k. Victoria Jones is shaking her head, saying that she's asked several people about this and they don't know how it's possible to accumulate over $100 million this way . Apparently, the Romney campaign didn't respond to her requests for information. They're not saying point blank that it's illegal but they're both shaking their heads. I wish I knew more about it.
