Hmmm....another fully legal process. No crime. No time.
No business of yours or mine.
You missed the point. Before the amnesty, these account holders were committing a felony...

The decision shattered a long-held belief that Swiss banks would guard the identities of its American customers as carefully as they did their money, and it raised concern that other international tax havens might be next. Under an amnesty program, the IRS is allowing taxpayers to avoid prosecution for having failed to report their overseas accounts. As a result, tax attorneys across the nation have been besieged by wealthy clients who are lining up to apply even though they will still face big financial penalties.
Romney might well have thought in 2007 and 2008 that there was nothing to fear about a non-disclosed offshore account he'd set up years earlier precisely because it wasn't disclosed. But then came the settlement and the rush of non-disclosers to apply for the amnesty. Failing to apply for the amnesty and then getting charged by the IRS would have been both financially and politically disastrous. So amnesty it was. But even though the amnesty would eliminate any legal or financial liability for past acts, it would hardly eliminate political liability.
Safe to assume that Romney would rather have this stay swept under a rug.
Must be a lot of democrats on this blog, Obama is dividing this country by making fools like you think Mitt Romney is hiding something, when in fact Obama is hiding his true grades from Harvard,Columbia and his true birth cert. I know you don't know what Hitler said to his counrtymen to win his elections.........just listen to Obama and you will know. He's a communist,Marxist and want too lead this country in dismal conclusion. Socialism for you people who don't know what dismal conclusion means.

So the gov created a law that created felons. Seems kinda like fishing to me. Say, I wonder who signed it into law back in '09? I wonder?
Seems Mr. Romney complied with this new 'law'. No crime there.
So what's the beef? Ya'll just keep cooking this stew. It's gonna taste like crow.
