Syndicated from Common Dreams on Thu, 2012-08-23

<div class='node-body'><p>John Cook at Gawker.com <a href="http://gawker.com/5936394" target="_blank">published</a> 950 pages of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney&#39;s financial documents for at least 21 funds in which Romney personally invested, including several overseas &#39;tax haven&#39; accounts, on Wednesday. The funds revealed in the documents are also affiliated with Bain Capital, Romney&#39;s former firm.</p>
<p>Gawker has not yet said how it obtained the documents, but asked &quot;readers to help evaluate&quot; the finances, and has financial lawyers currently filing through the dense paper work.</p></div><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-news-hp-image">
