GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney could face new questions about his overseas investments after a campaign official acknowledged to NBC News that his campaign is revising his financial disclosure forms to report more than a half dozen offshore holdings, including income from a multi-million dollar Swiss bank account that were not disclosed last year.
NBC's Michael Isikoff writes:
The tax returns released by the Romney campaign this week showed that the Ann Romney Blind Trust had reported $1,783 in interest income from a bank account held at UBS in Switzerland in 2010.
But the Swiss bank account -- as well as other offshore investments in the Cayman Islands, Bermudas and Ireland that appear in the trust fund's tax returns -- were not disclosed in Romney’s financial disclosure form filed with the Office of Government Ethics last August.
The number and size of Romneys' off shore investments have lately emerged as a major campaign issue, throwing the former Massachusetts governor on the defensive over his wealth-estimated at up to $250 million-and forcing his campaign to release his 2010 tax returns this week.
Ed will have the latest on Romney's overseas investments tonight at 8pET.

The technical term is FOS.

I hear citizenship goes with about $1,000,000 investment in some Caribbean countries.
Popular with LDS "missionaries" that have to flee the country to avoid law enforcement.

that sounds like a deal. one wonders how much it cost Rupert for his US citizenship.
I will tell you this, Romney should be very afraid of this number.. 1956. He knows what that is, and he's probably having NIGHTMARES about it.
Romney's going to jail ... Romney's going to jail ... Romney's going to jail ...
We Can Only Hope So !!!!! Butt I'LL Bet That His Wealth Will Keep Him Free !!! Unfortunately !!!
Romney, you will never be our President. You are a liar, a thief, and a corporate-vampire.
Sure, bring up his good points.
Love the avatar. He's my favorite, and in my opinion, the best artist to have ever lived.

Mitt Romney's campaign says $3 million oversight on ethics forms was 'trivial'+*
byHunter
this guy has no clue about main stream. smiling i like to maybe sale him one of course for a infallible price. lets see a clue cost about a buck so Mitt have a deal seeing 10k is a bet and 3 mill is trivial, how about 1.5 million? that`s a bargain.
This years field of GNOP candidates has to go down in history as the most inept group of characters ever to run in a Presidential primary.
There are a good joke all of them.
He'll have a clue soon, the more information he puts out the more he'll be in trouble. Im SICK of people like him trying to play their fraud on ordinary Americans.
Does he know what's like to live paycheck to paycheck? How about the shame that comes with unemployment, beyond the already harsh economics associated with it?
Does he know what's like to make a car payment or a mortgage payment?
He has no clue what's like to be middle class, he knows wealth and was born into it. Good for him, but don't you DARE tell me that he cares about people when he's ok with those dying of need because they're not insured and he's only seeking to benefit the wealthy with his FRAUDULENT trickle down economics.
Even Reagan's own deputy treasury secretary said Romney's plan is a pathway to ruin! And he is still trying to perpetrate that fraud on the country.
Thank you. You tell it like it is.
Mitt Romney is one of the biggest frauds this nation has ever seen. He can't even say with a straight face how much he's worth. What's the matter, you want me to believe a corporate tool like him doesn't know that? He thinks everybody else is stupid, and that everybody is there to serve him.
Wanna know why Mitt Romney has money overseas including in swiss accounts? Because they are PAID by the account holder to keep secrets, that's why they're so popular with those looking to evade taxes or perpetrate frauds.
Mitt Romney is not a patriot, not even close. He's what FDR called "economic royalists", Fascists for short, and proven by the historical record to be not just unpatriotic, but also traitors, and I mean they fit the definition under the criminal statute to the letter, people like him have conspired in the past to overgrow the government when it doesn't bend to the will of corporate america!
Shame on them, shame on Romney for pandering to them, and shame on those who follow that fraud blindly, while walking himself to the cliff!
In fact, FDR described the fight against corporate america and their Fascist rule as a WAR. He did so publicly, he did so clearly and without sugarcoating. Corporate America has in the past tried to overthrow the government by forceful means. Why does Romney say now that any and all criticism on behalf of the middle class and against corporate vultures like himself is unpatriotic? HE WANTS TO AVOID THE TOPIC AT ALL COSTS.
Romney is a tragedy waiting to happen, and I mean this very, very seriously.
Open Range~ What does the number 1956 mean? Let us in on it.
mitt has no clue how to run a country..only a business..and he makes money only for himself...and hids most of it...i think there is something in the water down there!!! wake up americans...vote Obama again...He will get you out of the mess...the other jokers wont......
There is one reason Gingrich and Romney want to be president of this United States, its becasue they have both gotten everything life has offer except to the presidency, I hope neither of them get there last wish to move on up.. No Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney in my lifetime..
We need to keep the Prez, take back House, keep the Senate and have it stay that way for a lot of years. Keep the Dems in. They're the only ones for the 99%. I've heard people say they're not in the 99% even though they will never see a million dollars, so yes people you ARE in the 99% no matter how much you deny it! So get smart and vote Dem.
The idea of anyone voting for any Republican is weird. I can't understand how any Republican constituent would actually think that a Republican would get into the White House, roll up his sleeves, and say "It's time to start working for the middle class and the poor."
They just don't talk like that.
Wake up Americans. I have listened to these debates by Romney and Gingrich, and they are both as crooked as they come. And if you think we are in bad shape right now, you aint seen anything yet if one of them would win. They are just for themselves and we would really be hurting. Worse even than what Bush did to us while he was in office. And he is the one who put us in this position. Gingrich is just a loud mouth that doesn't answer anything just says I am shocked that you would question him about things. You think that Romney is rich now if he got in he would be a tycoon for sure, and we would go without health, and homes, and jobs.

This guy just needs to go get his own reality show. It just boggles my mind that thinks he's presidential material. God help the USA if he's elected -- even if as National Dog Catcher.
Why am i not surprised. If this is the kind of deception Mitt is coming out of the gates with he will guarantee more tax increases for the middle class what's left of it and guarantee no taxes for the rich. This is really hard to take, think about it Mitt doesn't work yet still he makes millions and pay hardly no taxes an have all these off shore accounts. The only thing Mitt knows to do is dismantle working people, he's says he wants to create manufacturing jobs but if memory serves me correct he shut down manufacturing plants.
Romney has to come clean. America has had enough of lie to me politics! We all knew something smelled fishy when he stalled with his taxes. Now there is only one way forward give us several years and own it. He made the money and needs to be up front. He wants to stop the rhetoric and speculation, then own it and be honest with the American people! Balls in your court Mitt !!!!
