this is gonna be interesting.
[QUOTE=UncleJimmema;37549868]why the hell would you hold them ransom? It would be much more worth while to release them if they were truly damaging. These guys don't seem like the cool whistle blower anons.[/QUOTE]Well, if they release them, then it'll most likely blow over quickly. If they hold them ransom and get Romney to actually pay for them, its the scandal of the decade. If Romney had a chance before, it would be killed with the first dollar he dropped on them.
Lets get a kickstarter to get the 1 Mio before him.
Also 1 Million is NOTHING for Romney.
I'm somewhat hoping that he pays up, just because it will spell death for his campaign. However I'm also hoping that there is something criminal in there and they release it. (I'd actually like to see him pay the ransom, then they still release it anyway with something criminal in there.)
There is pretty much no good way out for him.
Don't pay: See his bigotry
Pay: He wants to hide his bigotry

He won't pay.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;37549998]He won't pay.[/QUOTE]Depends on what's in them. He's been pretty adamant about them not being released before.
I just hope this guy gets his ass busted somehow.

I assure you, he won't pay.
Huh. 5 dollars says Obama will get to it first and prevent it from being released, and the entire GOP will call it an elaborate scheme to defame Romney and make Obama look good and it'll be played off as a massive scandal by the media that will ultimately do more harm than good.
I don't see this ending well for anyone.
imagine if this is 100% bullshit
and they get 1 million dollars in untraceable bitcoins
lmfao
Either way its going to look bad for him, if he pays up $1m it just shows there's something in there he really really doesn't want the public to see.
Probably fake, like all (seemingly) exciting hacking things
Well, I hope that this will simply put pressure on him to release the real records. I really suspect that these might be fabricated or simply do not exist.
Title is a tad misleading.

I can't be sure but that's exactly what I think this is for.
They will possibly get some money, then say Romney DID pay for it, and release the nothing they have.
They are going to hurt Romney either way, and they MIGHT get some money on top of it.
Bitcoins are untraceable, and I imagine they also made well sure enough so will be the original announcement.
Best case - Bad rep for Romney + Money
Worst case - Bad rep for Romney
A perfect crime
The fact that they are also asking for money to promote the release makes me preeeetty sure this is fake
Blackmailing political candidates.
Shits straight outta Mexico.
[QUOTE=znk666;37549618]They know they aren't getting any money,so why not just release them?[/QUOTE]
Because they don't really have them.
Anonymous can be a regular word, even when talking about hacking.
Misleading title is misleading, change to "[B]Unknown[/B] group hacks Romney tax records." Thank-you
[QUOTE=Deiru;37549778]Just like to clear up here, It is an anonymous group, not Anonymous.[/QUOTE]
There is no "Anonymous". It's always just anonymous groups and anonymous people.
if they get the money, release it anyways.
that would be the best. :v:
I bet 1 million air molecules this is just a massive hoax/scam for money.

sounds like bible quotes?
I hope this is real. I wonder if he is actually hiding anything. #WhatsRomneyHiding #Obama2012 #pizza #hashtag
some mormon stuff?
I wonder if anyone still actually believes that Anon is one large group, and not a billion of entities in a sea of useless DDoSers?

I'd say most people still think they are.
Umm, you guys. It says "anonymous", but I'm pretty sure that they literally mean unknown, not that they're affiliated with chan.
