Who believes that Bloomberg will make his income taxes public?

Or will show where his money is scattered around the world?

Why should he?

Trump was able to get away with it.

when Wikileaks began. Then the Swiss Bank records into the hands of the IRS. But now we have candidates concealing everything, and soon cryptocurrency will make everything invisible. US tax forms now ask if you had or own any cryptocurrency payments last year. How can they tell? When they catch you in 10 years with $250 million, how will they prove the untraceable? Or is it now traceable? How did they not see this coming?

So no Bloomberg won't release his taxes. That ship is sailing.

Like Trump, he claimed his finances were too complicated for the average person to understand. He'll do everything he can to avoid releasing them. I'm sure there is a whole lot he doesn't want people to know.
