Ann Romney had $3 million Swiss bank account.

Among the assets omitted is a Swiss bank account in Ann Romney's blind trust that held $3 million until it closed in 2010. The account was listed on a financial disclosure Romney filed in 2007, but it was mistakenly named as an asset held by the couple, not as part of Ann Romney's trust. A campaign spokeswoman said Thursday that Romney will file amendments to both his 2007 and 2011 financial disclosures to correctly identify the bank account.

The Romney campaign dismissed the omission of information as inadvertent and inconsequential, noting he has released more than 600 pages of details about his finances. Indeed, among the hundreds of investments listed on his recent financial disclosure are many foreign funds.

$5 million there. It must be hard to keep track of all those millions spread out between here, the Cayman, and Switzerland.

If you want to be POTUS why are you parking your $ in other
countries?

Romney will be easy and fun to beat in the fall. Making your money
by closing companies, selling off the pieces of the companies,
outsourcing the jobs they kept, and then hiding the ill gotten
gains in Swiss bank accounts will not play well @ all w/ the American
people.
