A magazine known for its sexually explicit material is offering a reward of $1 million dollars for a different type of bare-all expose.
The publisher of Hustler magazine, Larry Flynt, is offering the sum for the skinny on GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's financials, the magazine announced.
It is taking out full-page advertisements in two newspapers - The Washington Post on Sunday, and USA Today on Tuesday - "offering up to a million dollars in cash for documented evidence concerning Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's unreleased tax returns and/or details of his offshore assets, bank accounts and business partnerships," a press release from the magazine read.
Flynt's announcement could be seen as either an attempt to keep the issue of Romney's financial documents alive or put himself - and his magazine - in headlines.
Romney has released his tax returns for 2010 and an estimate of his 2011 tax liability, but has repeatedly said he would not release additional years, saying it would be fodder for Democrats to criticize him.
In recent months, various political figures, including some Republicans, have called for more transparency from Romney.
Earlier in the week, an anonymous online poster claimed it was holding stolen tax documents belonging to Romney ransom for $1 million in an internet currency. Should the sum not be paid by later this month, the posting said a key to unlock the documents would be released publicly, while the financial firm from which the documents were allegedly stolen said there is "no evidence of unauthorized access to our data."

Larry Flint is a disgusting person, but I do appreciate his cash reward to uncover what many think, is unscrupulous financial activity by Mitt Romney. If it turns out to be true, (unscrupulous activity) then one must count Romney as a disgusting and deceptive person also. If this is his kind of behavior and business ethics, is it really a serious proposition to appoint him as president? WATCH OUT ALL LOWER INCOME FAMILIES, ROMNEY SAYS HE DOESN'T WORRY ABOUT THE POOR, THEY HAVE THEIR PROGRAMS.
Though Flint is one of the smarmiest men on the planet, this is so rich if the hackers do, in fact have copies of willard's tax forms and are willing to sell them to Flint for distribution. If willard is shaking in his boots and Price Waterhouse is having a collective heart attack, we could suspect he DOES have things to hide that would wreck his POTUS run...the best way out for willard is to release those tax forms himself...but then we would all know HIS dirty little secrets, wouldn't we!!
