In the latest evidence that Mitt Romney is a shady, dishonest politician, it has just been reported by the LA Times, NBC, and ABC that he failed to include overseas accounts in his financial disclosure form. The only reason that this came out was because he was forced to release his 2010 tax return which showed that he had a Cayman Islands, and Swiss bank accounts. Remember, he initially did not want to release anything, then he said maybe he would. Finally he was forced to. What more dirt will follow if he releases returns back to 2000 or 1999.
As people have been saying on twitter: he gave 20 years of tax returns for vetting to John McCain in 2008, and then McCain chose Palin.
More will follow as we get further information.
Suffice to say: here are some of the breaking details:

Romney Failed to Disclose Swiss Bank Account Income
Mitt Romney's campaign is amending the financial disclosure forms he filed in 2007 and 2011 to acknowledge that a Romney trust held a Swiss bank account, a detail that had been missing from both reports.
"An amendment is being filed to address this minor discrepancy," a campaign official told ABC News in an email Thursday in response to questions about the apparent omission.
Update:
Thanks for putting this on the rec list. This is a huge issue as it goes to the matter of honesty. Blue Aardvark's well sourced diary has further information here:
