Larry Flynt Offers $1M Reward for Mitt Romney Tax Returns - - - Hackers, on your mark!

Larry Flynt Offers $1M Reward for Mitt Romney Tax Returns Hackers, on your mark! By Emma Bazilian

It’s no secret that Larry Flynt, the often-controversial founder and publisher of Hustler magazine, is not a fan of Mitt Romney. (Maybe that’s because the Republican nominee has said that he supports federal obscenity laws—which aren't exactly good Flynt’s business.) It’s also no secret that Romney opponents have been dying to get their hands on his unreleased tax returns, which, they claim, could prove that the candidate hasn't been paying his fair share of taxes. Now, Flynt is joining their cause by offering a $1 million reward for Romney's tax information.

Flynt is taking out full-page ads in this Sunday’s edition of The Washington Post and Tuesday’s USA Today that promises “up to $1 million” for the dirt on Romney’s “unreleased tax returns and/or details of his offshore assets, bank accounts and business partnerships.” (But before you go calling the Hustler hotline, be aware that Flynt will need “documented evidence of your claims.”)
According to the ad, all correspondence will be kept confidential—so if you’re a former Bain exec with a bone to pick (or without a golden parachute), you might want to get a pen.

This is one of the admirable things about Mr. Flynt. He has always been a political activist, and he gets answers (look at what happened when he paid for the tapes of the FBI entrapping DeLorean (http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/celebrity/larry_flynt/7.html). He has also offered same amount for JFK's killer, same amount for proof of gay sex with Rick Perry, and others Also of the same amount.

At least someone can afford to pay for the information we shouldn't really have to ask for (because of his "contributions to his church" that his wife cries about handing checks over to :-P whatever)

but it seems it would be illegal to try to get someone else's income tax return.
Anyone know?
