PWC on Romney tax returns: No evidence anything had been stolen

[cynatnite]

On Wednesday, PricewaterhouseCoopers said in a statement that there was no evidence that anything had been stolen, but the company did acknowledge that it was working with the Secret Service:

We are aware of the allegations that have been made regarding improper access to our systems. We are working closely with the United States Secret Service, and at this time there is no evidence that our systems have been compromised or that there was any unauthorized access to the data in question.

George Ogilvie, a Secret Service spokesman, confirmed to TPM that the agency is “investigating the incident,” but could not add further details.

In an interview with The Tennessean, the executive director of the Williamson County Republican Party said she also initially thought to treat the matter as a hoax.

“A million dollars seemed kind of low,” Jean Barwick told the paper. “If you’re going to go for a million, why not go for $100 million.”

1. If this turns out to be a hoax then romney might as well not even try.

He might as well just go on vacation until November.
