During last night’s debate, Romney proclaimed: “The place you put your money makes a pretty clear indication of where your heart is.” That’s especially revealing given Romney’s love for stashing his cash in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Switzerland and China.

American Bridge previously presented a list of things that Mitt Romney could be hiding, but below are just three of the biggest questions raised by Friday’s incomplete disclosure.
